20-30%
What is the normal distribution value for monocytes?
10%
What is the normal distribution value for eosinophils?
2-5%
What is the normal distribution value for basophils?

An increased amount of neutrophils could indicate:
- bacterial infection
- appendicitis
- cancer
- pneumonia
An increased amount of lymphocytes could indicate:
- viral infection or chronic diseases
- mumps
- measles
- syphilis
An increased amount of monocytes could indicate:
- long term infection
- fungal infection
- malaria
- tb
An increased amount of eosinophils could indicate:
- parasitic infection
- allergic reactions
- asthma
An increased amount of basophils could indicate:
- allergic reaction
- anemia
- chicken pox
- hepatitis
Neutrophils eat:
Bacteria
Eosinophils eat:
Parasites
A decreased amount of eosinophils could indicate:
- stress
- cushing’s syndrome
- increased glucocorticoid hormones
Monocytes eat:
Viruses and bacteria
Banded neutrophils are:
Immature
A decreased amount of lymphocytes could indicate:
HIV
A decreased amount of neutrophils could indicate:
- measles
- malnutrition
- typhoid fever
Segmented neutrophils are:
Mature
Sensor:
gives a receptor and locator, senses change
Stimulus:
deviation from set point
Integrator:
compares signal coming in to set point
Effector:
organ or tissue
Response:
change that occurs
Disturbance:
can’t get back to set point
Example of feedback loop for body temp:
Stimulus: Increase in body temp
Sensor: Thermoreceptors in skin and hypothalamus
Integrator: Hypothalamus
Effector: Skin blood vessels and sweat glands
Response: Blood vessels in skin vasodilator-> release heat
sweat glands in skin release heat as sweat
Result: Decrease in body temp.
Example of feedback loop for heart rate/pulse rate:
Stimulus: Increase in pulse rate
Sensor: Baroreceptors in aortic arch + carotid sinus
Integrator: Medulla oblongata
Effector: Blood vessels and heart
Response: Blood vessels vasodilate, HR drops
Result: Pulse rate decreases
What is a disturbance for body temp?
Hypothermia
What kind of data would be considered continuous data and what kind of graph?
Date, time, weight
Scattor plot
What kind of data would be considered discrete data and what kind of graph?
Male vs. female
Bar graph
Y-axis is:
Dependent
X-axis is:
Independent
How do we determine the set point?
mean, median, or mode
Longest stage of mitosis:
Interphase; most of cell’s lifecycle spent here
Summary of mitosis:
Prophase: DNA duplicates
Metaphase: meet in middle
Anaphase: pulls apart
Telophase: cells break off, cytokinesis
Proportional relationship:
Example:
If one increases, the other increases
As the weight/pressure of the fluid decreases, the rate of filtration decreases
Inverse relationship:
Example:
If one increases, the other will decrease
As the molecular weight increases, the rate of diffusion decreases
What is the relationship between molecular weight and rate of diffusion?
Inverse
What is the relationship between filtration rate and pressure of fluid/weight of fluid?
Proportional
What is the relationship between size of particles and filtration?
Inverse; as particle size decreases, the rate of filtration increases
What is filtered by the glomerulus? (5)
- water
- carbon dioxide
- ions
- metabolic waste
- glucose
What remains in the filtrate?
- RBC
- platelets
- large proteins
How do you test for glucose?
Benedict’s soln- positive if it turns orange/red
How do you test for starch?
Lugol’s soln- positive if it turns black
How do we test for Hct?
Using a centrifuge
How do we test for Hgb?
Using the Tallquist scale, put drop of blood on blotting paper and wait 30 secs for it to dry, then compare with Tallquist color scale
How do we test for RBC count?
Using a hemocytometer
What is the normal RBC count for males, females, and fetuses?
Males: 5,400,000
Females: 4,600,000
Fetus: 5.5-6 million
