The breaking down or destruction of globules, particularly red blood cells.
From globule (Latin globus) + -lysis (Greek lysis, 'loosening' or 'breaking down'). Medical terminology combined Latin and Greek roots to describe the process of cells rupturing.
Hemolysis (red blood cell breakdown) is the most famous type of globulolysis, and it's why hospitals test blood compatibility before transfusions—incompatible blood would cause a fatal chain reaction of cell destruction.
