Lab Report: Cardiovascular Anatomy
Please fill out this report and submit it to the dropbox. Do not hand in your own form. It will not be graded and you will receive a zero for the lab.
You must get all parts of the question correct to get credit for the question
* Please note that although you do not hand in items in observations, it is very important to do these as you may see some of these items on future/associated lab quizzes or be asked about some of these concepts on unit assignments. It is strongly recommended that you draw, label, diagram, etc. your observations or examples of the subjects covered in this lab as this encourages the learning process.*
STEP 1
Observing Blood
Observations: Please pay special attention to the shape, size, color, and any other distinguishing features of blood.
Questions:
A. What are the components of blood? The components of blood are plasma, platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells. (Vass, 2007 pg. 63)
B. What are the functions of red blood cells? Name one blood cell disease and give a brief explanation the disease. Red blood cells also known as Erythrocytes have a function to get oxygen to the cells and get the carbon dioxide out of the cells. (Vass, 2007 pg. 64) One blood cell disorder/disease is anemia. The most common type of anemia, also what I have, is iron-deficiency anemia. This is caused from losing to much blood and not eating enough iron. Iron is used in the body to make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin gives the red color to blood. Iron helps to carry the oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. (Saladin, 2010 pg. 694).
C. List the five types of leukocytes and describe the function of each. (Saladin, 2010 pg. 701-704) Neutrophils- Destroy bacteria and to release antimicrobial chemicals. Eosinophils- Secrete chemicals that destroy parasites. They also destroy and get rid of foreign antigens that create allergies.
