Explanation:

• For the first question:
• Poikilocytosis refers to abnormal - shaped erythrocytes.
• Anemia is a general term for a decrease in the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin.
• Hypochromic means less - colored (related to hemoglobin content).
• Anisocytosis specifically means erythrocytes of unequal size.
• For the second question:
• Hypocalcemia is low calcium in the blood.
• Hypertension is high blood pressure.
• Polycythemia vera is an increase in red blood cells.
• Hypercalcemia is high calcium in the blood (due to bone lesions releasing calcium in multiple myeloma).
• For the third question:
• A decrease in CD4 lymphocyte count is related to immune function (e.g., in HIV).
• Surgical removal of the thymus gland is thymectomy.
• Thymoma is a tumor of the thymus gland.
• A tumor of lymphocytes in lymph nodes is a lymphoma.

Answer:

• First question: anisocytosis
• Second question: hypercalcemia
• Third question: a tumor of the thymus gland
