PMLS LESSON 1 PART 1 Flashcards
Application of procedures, information, and devices to develop highly sophisticated solutions to medical problems or issues as the prevention of disease or the promotion and monitoring or good health.
Medical Laboratory Science
The work MLS do can help diagnose ______ of our patients, with different laboratory tests that we perform; we call ourselves _____________.
60-70%, medical investigators
MLS need to be as _________ and _______ as possible.
accurate; precise
Refers to the diagnostic or therapeutic application of science and technology to improve the management of health conditions; therefore, we can say that it combines the challenges of medicine, the basic sciences of biology and chemistry
Medical Laboratory Science
To analyze chem reactions, examine blood and other body
fluids microscopically, and perform pre-transfusion testing on patients and donors, we need to learn _________________.
state of the art instrumentation
MLS are __________ for each result that’s being send out
accountable
it is the Use of sophisticated biomedical technologies and scientific methodologies to test patient blood or tissues and body fluids.
THE CLINICAL LABORATORY
it is where we Test or do chemical analyses like determining concentration of compounds in our body such as glucose, cholesterol, vitamins, electrolytes, proteins, drugs and other analytes
clinical chemistry
blood microscopic examination
hematology
antigen-antibody testing and blood products for transfusion.
immunology and immunohematology
components of bacteria, parasites, and viruses, etc
Microbiology & Molecular Biology
Studies the cellular and chemical components of bacteria, parasites, and viruses, etc., where we use state of the art
instrumentations to generate accurate results
Microbiology & Molecular Biology
Studies the tissues obtained through biopsies on a cellular
level, testing for cancer and metastasis in your cells
histopathology
biopsy and tissues
histopathology
uses antigen or antibody
testing for determination of infection
immunology and serology
