    • b. Sickle-cell anemia – RBCs sickle shaped
    • c. Hemolytic disease of the newborn – incompatible blood types that leads to rupturing of blood cells
  19. List and be able to describe the 3 WBC Disorders.
    • a. Severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) – inherited disease; lack an enzyme that allows them to fight
    • any infection
    • b. Leukemia – type of cancer; WBCs divide without control
    • c. infectious mononucleosis – “kissing disease”; Epstein-Barr virus (EPV)
  20. List and be able to describe the 3 Platelet Disorders.
    • a. thrombocytopenia – number of platelets too low
    • b. thromboembolism – clot forms and breaks off from its site of origin and plugs another vessel
