What are the Latin names of Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, and Platelets?

OpenStudy (blues):

What do you mean by "Latin names?" The scientific names are erythrocytes, leukocytes and thrombocytes for RBCs, white blood cells and platelets respectively...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Indeed, and they derive from the Greek language i believe.

I mean the ones you would see if you looked the term up in a scientific dictionary.

OpenStudy (blues):

@exuras I just looked them up and they are indeed Greek. I just learned something.

That's weird...my bio teacher said Latin.
