Conclusion 1 Based on what you know about blood‚ why would having a sickle cell anemia crisis result in a reduced red blood cell count‚ an elevated white blood cell count‚ and a reduced hematocrit? There’s a reduced RBC count‚ elevated WBC count‚ and a reduced hematocrit because of the shape of the RBC. The sickle cell anemia causes the RBC to have a different shape; a crescent and rigid shape and there are not a lot of them. So because of that‚ there’s more WBC and a reduced hematocrit. Also‚ the

Case 1: Bacterial or viral infection Case 2: Normal blood smear Case 3: Normal blood smear Journal Questions for lab In what ways do normal red and white blood cells differ? White blood cells have a nucleus‚ red blood cells do not‚ white blood cells protect while red blood cells transport‚ red blood cells have a longer life span than white blood cells. Which type of white blood cell would you

volume of blood in your body compare to the volume of fluid in a two liter bottle? In the average sized male adult the blood volume is 5 to 6 liters and it is 4-5 liters in the average sized female adult. 2. What is the significance of a lower than normal hematocrit? A higher than normal hematocrit? What might be the effect of a bacterial infection on the hematocrit? Having a low hematocrit causes anemia‚ feeling of fatigue‚ dizziness etc. It is treated with iron supplements or a blood transfusion

Identifying and comparing the main components of blood. By Jason T Morrison. Blood‚ what an amazing substance. It has only been since being set this task by one of my tutors‚ Dr C Dublon that I have truly realised how amazing blood really is. Blood is not as some people may think just made up of one component‚ but many different components working together in an almost symbiotic relationship. The average human being carries approximately five litres of blood‚ which is equivalent to about 8% of their

About Blood Tuesday December 16‚ 2014 A low hematocrit means the percentage of red blood cells is below the lower limits of normal. A person’s age‚ sex‚ or specific condition (for example‚ pregnancy or high-altitude living) can also affect the hematocrit‚ another term for low hematocrit is anemia. Anemia can cause a low hematocrit. Also bleeding‚ ulcers‚ trauma‚ colon cancer‚ internal bleeding‚ destruction of red blood cells‚ sickle cell anemia‚ enlarged spleen‚ decreased production of red blood

Social System Course Guide‚ 1993). Homeostasis refers to the body ’s ability to keep the internal chemical and physical environments constant. As your body begins to react to stress several changes occur. These changes include increased heart rate‚ blood pressure and secretion of stimulatory hormones. Ones body prepares itself in stressful situations to either stand ground and fight or to flee from the situation. Walter Cannon called this stressful reaction the fight-or-flight response (Greenberg‚

First‚ a stock solution of NaCl was prepared at concentration 1.0M. Working solutions were made ranging from hypotonic to hypertonic with a negative control at isotonic solution (150mM). The solutions were diluted up to 4 mL into 5 test tubes‚ (0mM‚ 0.13mM‚ 0.15mM‚ 0.17mM‚ 0.3mM 0.5mM) using distilled water to dilute the stock solution. The working solutions
