Which of the following terms means too few red (cells)?
A) leukocytosis
B) erythrocytosis

Erythr/o means red and -penia means too few; therefore, erythropenia means too
few red (cells). Leuk/o means white and -cytosis means more than the normal number of cells;
thus, leukocytosis means too many white cells. Erythrocytosis means too many red cells.
Hematocytosis is not a medical term; if it were, it would mean too many blood cells.
