Cards in this deck (23)
- 1Normal Hemoglobin (Hb)Male: 14 – 18 g / dL (8.7 -11.2 mmol / L)
Female: 12 - 16 g / dL (7.4 - 9.9 mmol / L) - 2Normal Hematocrit (Hct)Male: 0.42 - 0.52

N.B. Rule of thumb: HCT value = ~3 X Hb - 3Normal White Blood Cells (WBC)4,000 – 11,000 / mm3
- 4Major types of WBCNeutrophils: fights bacteria, some viruses & fungi
Lymphocytes: fights viruses & some bacteria
Basophils: fights some allergens
Eosinophils: fights allergens & parasites
Monocytes: fights some bacteria - 5RBC (Erythrocytes)Males : 4 - 6 million / mm3
Female: 3 - 6 million / mm3 - 6Red blood cell (RBC) indicesClassify anemias
Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV): average RBC size
Mean corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH): amount of Hemoglobin per RBC
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC): amount of Hemoglobin relative to the size of the cell, per RBC - 7Normal Platelets (thrombocytes)150,000 – 300,000 / mm3
