This subject introduces students to haematology and examines the structural and functional attributes of cellular and non-cellular constituents of blood in healthy and disease states. Morphological and functional characteristics of the blood cells at different stages of production, differentiation and maturation are considered in detail. Also, the haemostatic system, which comprises primary haemostasis, secondary haemostasis and the fibrinolytic system will be covered. Furthermore, blood disorders including anaemias, leucocyte disorders (benign and malignant), and disorders of the haemostasis are discussed at clinical, pathophysiological and laboratory diagnostic levels.
