Q

What is a hemocytometer?

A

A specialized slide used to count cells

29
Q

One cm^3 is equivalent to?

A

1mL, they are interchangeable

30
Q

Why do we use hemocytometers?

A

It would be impossible to count the number of RBCs in a reasonable amount of time so we use a hemocytometer to count the number of cells in a smaller volume and then scale that amount up to predict the number of cells in a larger volume

31
Q

What is the conversion factor?

A

The conversion factor represents how many times the smaller volume fits into the larger volume. It is the ratio of the large volume to the small volume

32
Q

What is the average volume of blood flowing in the circulatory system?

A

5L

33
Q

How many mm are there in 1cm?

A

10mm , 1cm = 10mm

34
Q

What is a solution?

A

A homogenous mixture of more than one solute

35
Q

Why would 2 different samples that came from the same suspension have different cell counts?

A

Because suspensions are not homogeneous mixtures. Each sample will have a slightly different composition

36
Q

Why must a coverslip used when working with a hemocytometer?

A

Because the cover slip adds the dimension of height so that we can figure out the amount of cells in a given volume. Without a fixed height, we can’t calculate the volume

37
Q

Why do you have to keep stirring a flask of yeast?

A

Because the yeast is a suspension and if it is not continually stirred, the heavier particles will separate and fall to the bottom of the flask . Blood is similar in that if it is not kept moving, platelets will agglutinate and clotting factors will be released

38
Q

Are no show socks okay in lab?

A

No. No kind of open toed shoes can be worn in lab and socks must completely cover the ankle

39
Q

Is long hair okay in lab?

A

Yes but it must be tied back. Similarly dangling jewelry or baggy clothes must be fixed

40
Q

Where do bags and coats go?

A

Bags go under the lab desk or by the windows, coats can also go by windows or hung on coat rack.

41
Q

Where do paper and glass get disposed?

A

Paper scraps in the trash and glass in the white glass disposal box

42
Q

Where does Media(materials) with microorganisms go?

A

Always should be placed in the biohazard bag or labeled autoclavable

43
Q

If a substance gets into your eye, you should flush eyes for how long?

A

20 mins

44
Q

In the event of a fire or fire drill

A

shut off all equipment, take all belongings, do not use elevators or escalators, and proceed to nearest exit

45
Q

What is cardiomyopathy and what are the anatomical differences in a heart with cardiomyopathy?

A

Cardiomyopathy is disease of the heart muscle. The ventricle walls are thinner, the ventricles are much larger, and overall the heart will be strained to pump out blood and blood flow will be decreased

46
Q

What is the foramen ovale? Where is it found? What is its function?

A

The foramen ovale connects the right and left atriums in a fetal heart and allows blood to pass directly between the atriums , bypassing the lungs. Blood doesn’t need to go to the lungs to pick up oxygen because the fetus gets it’s oxygen from the mother through diffusion across the placenta

47
Q

Why is the wall of the left ventricle thicker than the right?

A

Because the blood has to travel from the left ventricle throughout the entire body/systemic circuit.

48
Q

Looking at an intact heart, how can you tell the right side from the left?

A

If you locate the interventricular sulcus, everything below it is the left side and everything above it is the right side

49
Q

Looking at a dissected heart, how can you tell right side from left?

A

The left side ventricle wall is much thicker than the right

50
Q

Which valves separate the ventricles from the aorta and pulmonary trunk?

A

The aortic semilunar valve and the pulmonary semilunar valve, respectively

51
Q

Which valves separate the atria and ventricles?

A

The Atrioventricular valves (AV Valves).
Right = Tricuspid Valve
Left = Bicuspid Valve (Mitral Valve)

52
Q

A blunt probe placed into the aorta will go into which chamber?

A

The left ventricle

53
Q

A blunt probe placed into the pulmonary trunk will go into which chamber?

A

The right Ventricle

54
Q

A blunt probe placed into the superior or inferior vena cavae will go into which chamber?

A

Right atrium

55
Q

A blunt probe placed into the pulmonary veins will go into which chamber?

A

The left atrium

56
Q

What section of the heart would create a right and left half?

A

A sagital section

57
Q

What section of a heart would create a superior and inferior half?

A

A transverse section

58
Q

What section would produce an anterior and posterior half?

A

A frontal section

59
Q

What is the volume of hemocytometer counting box? How many counting boxes are there in 1 counting area?

A

0.2mm L x 0.2mm W x 0.1mm H = 0.004mm^3

60
Q

What sides of the hemocytometer counting box do you not count? How do you count clumps of cells?

A

The right and bottom sides. Count clumps of cells as one cell!

61
Q

How many total cells do you have in your body?

A

50 trillion

62
Q

What % of the total amount of cells in our body are RBCs?

A

50% (approx 25 trillion RBCs)

63
Q

Another name for platelets. What cell are platelets a small part of?

A

Thrombocytes, megakaryocytes

64
Q

What does centrifuging blood do?

A

Separates the plasma from the formed elements (rbc’s, wbc’s, platelets)

65
Q

Why do we test blood for Chloride? What do we use to test for chloride in blood plasma?

A

Because Na is often present for Chloride. So if we know there is chloride, there is also Na. AgNO (Silver nitrate)

66
Q

Ligament that attaches Aorta to pulmonary trunk?

A

Ductus Arteriosus

67
Q

Function of Ductus Arteriosus

A

It is another bypass of the lungs in fetal heart. It is crucial is closes after birth so that baby must use lungs to oxygenate blood

68
Q

2 blood tests that might indicate anemia

A

Creatinine and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
