Plural form of hemocyte; multiple cells found in the blood.

Etymology

From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'kytos' (cell) + plural ending '-es'. This is the standard plural form used in medical and biological contexts.

Kelly Says

Scientists can identify different hemocytes by their shape and function—your bone marrow produces about 200 billion hemocytes every single day to replace the ones that die, making blood cell production one of the fastest renewal systems in your body.
