| myelomere | Neuromere of the brain or spinal cord. Origin: myelo-+ G. Meros, part (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelomonocyte | A leukocyte that appears to resemble both myelocytes and monocytes in that nuclear chromatin is less condensed than in the myelocyte and the cytoplasm has few neutrophilic granules; such cells represent aberrant maturation, as occurs in myelomonocytic leukaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelomonocytic leukaemia | A variant of granulocytic leukaemia with monocytosis in the peripheral blood. Synonym: Naegeli type of monocytic leukaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |

| myelopathic anaemia | <haematology> Any anaemia condition which arises from a space occupying lesion in the bone marrow. The circulating blood contains immature cells of the granulocytic series and nucleated red blood cells, frequently in numbers that are disproportionately large in relation to the degree of anaemia. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (27 Sep 1997) |

| myeloperoxidase | <enzyme> Peroxidase found in the lysosomal granules of myeloid cells, particularly macrophages and neutrophils, responsible for generating potent bacteriocidal activity by the hydrolysis of hydrogen peroxide produced in the metabolic burst) in the presence of halide ions. A metallo enzyme containing iron. Deficiency of myeloperoxidase is not fatal and it is reportedly absent entirely in chickens. (18 Nov 1997) |
| myelopetal | Proceeding in a direction toward the spinal cord; said of different nerve impulses. Origin: myelo-+ L. Peto, to seek (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelosuppression |
A condition in which bone marrow activity is decreased, resulting in fewer red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Myelosuppression is a side effect of some cancer treatments. When myelosuppression is severe, it is called myeloablation.
