A blood cell of any type, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
From Greek haema (blood) + kytos (cell). General hematology term for any cellular component of blood.
Haematocyte is the umbrella term for all cells in your blood—red ones (carrying oxygen), white ones (fighting infection), and platelets (stopping bleeding)—and counting these cells differently reveals what's wrong when blood disorders strike.
