Are pathogenic and culture and sensitivity test looks for them.
Drug abuse
Urine sample clean catch mid stream used for chemistry evaluation
Blood smear
Most important to have a feathered edge aka single cell layer.
Average person blood
5-7 L
Endocardium
The inner endothelial layer/lining of heart.
Mitral valve
Also bicuspid connects left atrium and ventricle
Blood oxygenation
Takes place in alveoli
Arteries and veins
Arteries away and veins to Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood away.
Func circulatory system
Systemic circulation
Pulmonary circulation
Deoxygenation cycle
Systemic circulation
Oxygenation cycle
Capillaries
Microscopic blood vessels exchange materials btw blood and tissues
Thrombocytes
Aka platelets. Blood coagulation. Aid in hemostasis and Essential in repair bvs
Erythrocytes
RBC and func is ti oxygen carrying and co2 expelling.
Leukocyte
WBC
Components of whole blood
55% plasma and 45% formed elements
Neutrophil
Attacks Bacteria and phagocytosis
Lymphocyte
Attacks viral
Monocytes
Largest and TB attacking
Eosinophils
Allergy number increases
Basophils
Allergy out put increases.
