Report
Week 1 Blood Learning Objectives: Identify the cellular components of blood and state their functions. Explain the role of the white blood cells in protecting the body from disease. Analyze complete blood counts. Learn how to use an automatic hematology analyzer and how to prepare a peripheral smear. Name the 4 major blood types in the ABO system. Explain the principles of blood typing using Eldon cards. Describe Rh incompatibility and hemolytic disease of the newborn. Introduction: The body is a complex multicellular organism that comprises trillions of cells working together as tissues, organs, and systems. These cells require a continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients in order to function. They also need an efficient and fast means of delivery of these substances as well as a means of removing waste byproducts. Blood is composed of 2 components: blood plasma and the formed elements. In the first lab simulation, you will generate complete blood counts and prepare blood smears of control and patient samples to diagnose various blood disorders in three patients. Dive into the inner workings of the different blood components with immersive 3D animations, where you will get acquainted with the morphology and function of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. In the second lab you will learn the basics of antibodies. Even though antibodies are proteins that protect us from harmful intruders, they can sometimes cause problems. You will learn about antibody-antigen interaction and the mechanism that lies behind Rh incompatibility. You will discover what antigens and antibodies have to do with blood type, and why mixing certain different blood types together can cause problems. In this simulation, you will examine blood samples from a mother and her unborn child, to determine whether or not they are compatible. Assignment: Part 1: Complete Labster “Hematology: Introduction to Blood” As you complete the lab, have the lab report ready to record data. The theory section of the lab is a useful resource. Part 2: Complete Labster “Antibodies: Why are some blood types incompatible?” As you complete the lab, have the lab report ready to record data. The theory section of the lab is a useful resource. Part 3: Complete the Lab report.
Blood Lab Report Answer the following questions: Part 1 Lab questions: 1. Identify the WBCs: (1 point each) a. Moocyte b. Neutrophil
2. Record the Data: (3 points) Patient CBC abnormality Peripheral smear result Patient 1 High platelet count.High WBC Intracellular parasite visible, increased neutrophils Patient 2 Low levels of hematocrit, Hb, MCV, and MCH RBC;s abnormally shated Patient 3 Normal Normal 3. What is the importance of a complete blood count? (1 point) The complete blood count (CBC) is a diagnostic test that tells us how many of each type of blood cell there are and how much of certain proteins and chemicals are in the blood. It is a useful way to check on a patient's general health and find any problems that might be there. 4. What information does a peripheral smear add to the results of a complete blood count? (1 point) The peripheral smear allows visualization of the different blood cells. 5. Identify the diagnosis of the 3 patients in the Part 1 Labster lab as determined by their CBC and Peripheral Smear results. (3 points) Patient 1: Malaria Patient 2: Sickle Cell Anemia Patient 3: Hemophilia
