• leukemia
• leukocyte
• anemia

• platelets
• plasma
• albumins
• globulins

Oxygen-transporting protein in red blood cells that gives the cells their characteristic red color.

• thrombin
• hematocrit
• hemoglobin
• hemostasis

Stoppage of bleeding or of the circulation of blood to a part.

• hemostasis
• hemoglobin
• phagocytosis
• hematocrit

• Rh factor
• hemostasis
• phagocytosis

Classification of blood based on the presence of surface antigens on red blood cells, and the presence of antibodies to surface antigens other than one's own.

• blood
• blood doping
• leukocyte
• blood type

Fibrous  protein formed during blood clotting.

• anemia
• albumins
• plasma
• fibrin

The most common group of proteins in blood plasma.

• albumins
• fibrin
• anemia
• globulins

A condition in which the blood's ability to carry oxygen is reduced because of a shortage of normal hemoglobin or too few red blood cells.

• leukemia
• fibrin
• anemia
• albumins

A group of proteins in blood plasma having transport and immune functions.

• fibrin
• platelets
• albumins
