Biology Lab BLOOD TYPING All blood contains red blood cells whose main job is to carry oxygen throughout the body. Red blood cells make up almost 50% of the total blood volume. They are produced in our bone marrow and not only transport oxygen‚ but they take away CO2 and other wastes. Our blood also contains white blood cells which make up only about 1% of our total blood volume. Like the red blood cells‚ the white also are produced by our bone marrow. Our white blood cells are the first response

Bloodstain pattern analysis is the interpretation of bloodstains at a crime scene in order to recreate the actions that caused the bloodshed. Blood spatter analysis can tell the distance from the source of the blood to the pattern‚ the direction from which the blood impacted‚ the speed the droplet was traveling‚ the location of the point of origin‚ and even the movement of a bleeding individual throughout the scene. There are three basic types of bloodstains. The first type of bloodstains are passive

Gladys Martin July 2005 Indications for Blood Transfusions Goal of transfusing: Preserve oxygen delivery to tissues and avoid myocardial ischemia. One can do this by increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood by raising the Hgb concentration of patients with acute/chronic anemia. Each unit will raise the Hct by 3 to 4 percent unless there is continued bleeding. Background: Transfusion trigger based on the 10/30 rule‚ give 2 units. However‚ with the discovery of transfusion-related HIV and

How does yeast affect a person’s body and contaminate foods? Yeast can be formed from eating too much sugar‚ and bread. It makes fungus grow with other collection of the living one celled organism that partakes of the nature of plant life. Yeast can grow when it’s warm‚ when it has moisture and food‚ the walls of these little one celled plants could bulge on the side in an oval shape. Yeast can be killed from the boiling of hot water. For the human body yeast could be killed from taking antibiotics

Blood lactate profile report Trained -v- Untrained The purpose of this test was to determine individuals‚ (trained and untrained) lactate threshold and subsequently interpret the results. This will allow for a comparison in how training affects the accumulation of blood lactate by using the results from the trained versus the untrained individual. When the rate of lactate production exceeds the rate of uptake‚ lactic acid accumulates in the blood volume‚ and then we see the onset of blood
