Introduction
The word hematology comes from the Greek haima (means blood)
and logos (means discourse); therefore, the study of hematology is
the science, or study, of blood.
Hematology encompasses the study of blood cells and coagulation.
Included in its concerns are analyses of the concentration, structure,
and function of cells in blood; their precursors in the bone marrow;
chemical constituents of plasma or serum intimately linked with
blood cell structure and function; and function of platelets and
proteins involved in blood coagulation.
