Hematocrit Determination
The following questions refer to Activity 1: Hematocrit Determination.
1. List the following values from Chart 1:
Hematocrit value for healthy male living at sea level in Boston = 48
Hematocrit value for healthy female living at sea level in Boston = 44
2. Were the values listed in question 1 within normal range? YES
3. Describe the difference between the male and the female hematocrit for an individual living in Boston. ERYTHROPOETIN SECRETION IN MALES STIMULATES THE PRODUCTION OF TESTOSTERONE. ERYTHROPOETIN MAKES RBC, AND RBC IS HIGHER IN MALES. SO MALES HAVE A HIGHER HEMATOCRIT
4. List the following values from Chart 1:
Hematocrit value for healthy male living in Denver = 55
Hematocrit value for healthy female living in Denver = 53
5. How did these values differ from the values for Boston? THIS MALE AND FEMALE BOTH HAVE A HIGHER HEMOCRIT VALUE THAN THE MALE AND FEMALE IN BOSTON
6. Describe the effect of living at high elevations on a person’s hematocrit. HIGHER ELEVATIONS HAVE LESS OXYGEN. SOMEONE LIVING IN HIGH ELEVATIONS NEED MORE RBC FOR OXYGEN.
7. Describe how the kidneys respond to a decrease in oxygen and what effect this has on hematocrit. A DECREASE IN OXYGEN WOULD MAKE THE KIDNEYS PRODUCE MORE ERYTHROPOETIN TO STIMULATE RBC PRODUCTION
8. List the following values from Chart 1:
Hematocrit value for male with aplastic anemia = 32
& WBC for male with aplastic anemia = 1%
9. Were the values listed in question 8 within the normal range? Why or why not? 1-4 WAS NORMAL BECAUSE THEY ARE FROM HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS. #5 IS VERY LOW BECAUSE THE PERSON HAS APLASTIC ANEMIA AND THEIR BONE MARROW IS UNABLE TO MAKE ENOUGH RBC. #6 IS NOT NORMAL BECAUSE IT’S FROM AN ANEMIC PERSON AND THEIR BODY CAN’T PRODUCE ENOUGH HEMOGLOBIN.
