Red cell indices comprise the parameters that reveal the hemoglobin content and physical characteristics..... The Red cell indices are a part of Complete Blood Count (CBC), which reveals the complete status of various components of the blood in the individual’s body. It comprises MCH, MCV & MCHC
Hematology Drugs
anticoagulant drugs -- prevent blood clots from forming -- heparin inhibits clotting factors -- warfarin inhibits vitamin K
corticosteroid drugs -- anti-inflammatory drugs -- suppress immune response -- decrease inflammation -- given to organ transplant recipients to prevent organ rejection
erythropoietin -- stimulates red marrow to make erythrocytes
immuno-suppressant drugs -- suppress the immune response -- prevent rejection of a transplanted organ
nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors -- antiretroviral drugs -- inhibit reverse transcriptase -- HIV requires this enzyme to reproduce
platelet aggregation inhibitor drugs -- prevent platelets from clumping together -- this clumping is the first step in forming a blood clot
protease inhibitor drugs -- antiretroviral drugs -- inhibit protease -- HIV requires this enzyme to reproduce
thrombolytic enzyme drugs -- break fibrin strands -- dissolves a blood clot that has already formed
tissue plasminogen activator drugs -- TPA drugs -- activate plasminogen -- convert plasminogen to an enzyme that breaks fibrin strands -- dissolves a blood clot that has already formed
vitamin B12 drugs -- used to treat pernicious anemia -- routes -- nasal spray -- intramuscular injection

ABO Blood Groups
A -- A antigen on the erythrocyte -- anti-B antibodies in plasma
B -- B antigen on the erythrocyte -- anti-A antibodies in plasma
AB -- A and B antigens on the erythrocyte -- no antibodies in plasma
O -- no antigens on the erythrocyte -- both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in plasma

Hematopoiesis
-- also called homopoiesis
-- blood cell production
-- all cells are made from a single type originally
-- original cell = hemocytoblast
-- proerythroblasts become red blood cells
-- myeloblasts become -- basophils -- neutrophils -- eosinophils
-- lymphoblasts become lymphocytes
--- monoblasts become monocytes
-- megakaryoblasts become platelets

Blood acts as an oxygen carrier from lungs to the body tissues for metabolic activities. It carries back CO2 and waste products to remove through excretory.....Check out the various functions of blood and blood cells, What they do in our body.... Explained briefly for better understanding....
Beside the Platelets, the two most important cellular components present in our Blood are the Red Blood Cells and the White Blood Cells....
