I've learned things like the difference between a microcyte and a macrocyte, something about the coagulation cascade, and what a chemistry analyzer does. |
The cancer-cell has been denominated macrocyte, from its large cyst-like cavity, and thnetoblast, or deadly germ. |
The commonest type he found to be the thin macrocyte which has the same volume as a normal erythrocyte but is flattened so that an increase in diameter is accompanied by a decrease in thickness. |
Recently the macrocytosis has been described as being of three types, the thin macrocyte, the thick macrocyte, and the target macrocyte. |
Since the mean corpuscular volume is the same for the two samples it follows that the macrocyte must shrink more in the act of drying than does the normocyte. |
The macrocyte is believed by many to represent a further stage in the development of the lymphocyte. |
