GE 259 Lymphatic System June 24‚ 2014 1. What is the significance of a lower-than-normal hematocrit? What is the effect of a bacterial infection on the hematocrit? A lower than normal hematocrit indicates anemia‚ a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to the body tissues. If you have a bacterial infection‚ your white blood cell count would increase because as the wbc’s are fighting off the infection they die off releasing a

an apple‚ it should be rinsed. TRUE! The utensil you use to peel your produce can pick up pathogens from the peel and can spread them to the inside of the food. Always wash fruits and vegetables even if you are not eating the peel. True or False: Wash poultry and meats before cooking. FALSE! Poultry‚ meats‚ and seafood naturally have bacteria in their raw juices. If they are rinsed in the sink‚ pathogens can easily spread to other surfaces which can cause cross-contamination‚ putting you at higher

as the Black Death‚ has gotten most of its attention from medieval paintings‚ poetry‚ and journals of revulsion. The real horror‚ was the disturbing biological evidence of the bacteria that caused all the pandemics‚ known as Yersinia pestis. The pathogen got its name from the two investigators Yersin and Kitasato. In 1894‚ Yersin was known as the main investigator (ergo. Named after him)‚ he claimed that the mice/rats were affected by the plague even before man was affected. Myths and sayings that

Genetic diversity populations are typically more resistant to biotic stress such as pathogens or pests. With a monoculture population‚ a disease that is able to attack one member of the population is likely to be able to attack the entire population because all members are essentially identical. However‚ a diverse population is more likely to have a subset of individuals that are resistant to the pathogen due to their genetic makeup. This means that a food production system built upon a diverse

membranes‚ however‚ it is a typically overlooked bacterium because there is very little that is known about it. Though it is not as aggressive as its cousin Staphylococcus aureus‚ Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most frequent cause for nosocomial pathogens‚ especially among newborns‚ the elderly‚ and anyone who has a compromised immune system. These infections are usually associated with intravascular catheters and other indwelling medical devices ("Staphylococcus epidermidis"). S. epidermidis produces
