Which term means too many white cells?

A) pancytopenia
B) leukocytosis
C) hematocytosis
D) leukocytopenia


B
Explanation: Leuk/o means white and -cytosis means too many cells; therefore, leukocytosis means too many white cells. Pan- means all, cyt/o means cell, and -penia means too few; thus, pancytopenia means too few of all cells. Hematocytosis is not a medical term, but would mean too many blood cells. Leukocytopenia means too few white cells.
