erythrocytes
have hemoglobin that transport oxygen
helps maintain acid-base balance
hemoglobin

diff WBC types
neutrophils

thrombocytes
can be small, disk-shaped, round, flat, or oval
platelet count
determines number of platelets in blood
factoid
body needs vitamin K to produce prothrombin
increased protime
blood won't clot as quickly as normal
decreased protime
increase in bloods ability to clot
intrinsic thromboplastin

urea

decreased BUN
increased BUN
