Practical Hematology Lab. - LAB 1 -. Introduction. The complete blood count (CBC) is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests. . The . complete blood count is the calculation of the cellular (formed elements) of blood. . Biology & Biotechnology Department. PURPOSE :. Blood agar . is . used for . :. isolation and cultivation of many types of fastidious bacteria. . It is also used to differentiate bacteria based on their hemolytic characteristics, especially within the genera . Anemia:. Deficiency of hemoglobin in the blood.. Causes: . Too few RBCs.. Too little hemoglobin in cells. Decreased packed cell volume.. This may be due to. :. decreased production of RBCs.. increased destruction.. “River of life”. Transports everything that must be carried from one place to another within the body:. Nutrients. Wastes. Heat. Composition of Blood. Blood cells or formed elements:. Red blood cells – transports oxygen. RBCs destroyed. prematurely.. Arrows. . indicate cells. being destroyed; . Acquired (. thru . ertain. chemicals. or bacteria/viruses) . o. r . inherited.. Symptom of o. ther disorders.. Infants: 73% or more water (low body fat, low bone mass). Adult males: ~60% water. Adult females: ~50% water (higher fat content, less skeletal muscle mass). Water content declines to ~45% in old age. Chapter 10: The Blood. Blood is responsible for providing . transportation. , . regulation. , and . protection. throughout the body. It also . plays a key role in gas exchange. .. The Function and Composition of Blood. video. What substances does blood transport?. How does blood protect the body from infection?. How are blood cells manufactured?. Think about it. 10. Lesson 1: The Function and Composition of the Blood. Mccurnin. 4. th. edition Saunders. Accurate clinical pathology data is invaluable in the diagnosis of diseases in all species. . Repetition of the data (tests) provides a means of monitoring and evaluating the success of chosen treatments. . 10. Practical . Clinical Hematology. Current hematology analyzers use a combination of . light scatter. , . electrical impedance. , . fluorescence. , . light absorption. , and . electrical conductivity . Fluids of the Body . Cells of the body are serviced by 2 fluids. blood. composed of plasma and a variety of cells. transports nutrients and wastes. interstitial fluid. bathes the cells of the body. Nutrients and oxygen diffuse from the blood into the interstitial fluid & then into the cells. 1. To begin left click the slide show screen icon, or go to Slide show on the toolbar and click . From Beginning. . 2. A left click of the mouse will continue to advance you through the presentation. You can also navigate forward and backward within the presentation using your keyboard arrows.. Purpose. The purpose of this lab is to help you to understand the ABO blood group system, and. its importance in blood transfusion.. Background. The . current system of blood grouping was discovered by Landsteiner in 1900 and is known as the Landsteiner's ABO system. 10. Learning Objectives—Level l . At the end of this unit of study, the student should be able to:. List the assays typically included in the complete blood count (CBC).. Describe how to properly identify a patient prior to blood collection..
