Blood Bank Lab was very interesting. I learned a lot from the explanations about the blood bank lab involving the sustainability of red blood cells and plasma. I never realize that plasma only lasted a few days, creating a larger need for it. The machine they were kept in was interesting, because it was set to maintain the environment’s temperature and humidity at a certain number constantly. The hematology lab was not very surprising to me. I have a strong background in histology and studying blood pathologies. Seeing the machine that measured blood coagulation was interesting because I didn’t know it was possible to test blood’s coagulation ability. The lab consisted mostly of microscopes with people using them because machines are not advanced
There are four blood types found in humans. These are A blood type which has the genotype either AA or AO, B blood type which has the genotype either BB or BO, AB blood type which has the genotype AB, and O blood type which has the genotype OO. These genotypes show a combination of complete dominance and codominance. A and B traits are dominant to the recessive O trait, however, the A trait is codominant to the B trait. Each blood type codes for certain antigens. A blood codes for the A surface antigen, B blood codes for the B surface antigen, AB blood codes for both the A and B surface antigen, and O blood does not code for a surface antigen. Therefore to determine one’s blood type a test can be performed
Identity that which we all struggle to find. Miklo is the very same case in Taylor Hackford’s Blood In Blood Out who struggles to prove himself as a Chicano due to his white skin however culturally Miklo is as Chicano as anyone in Onda. The most important part of this dynamic, is that when Miklo gets arrested for killing spider, a rival gang leader, the prison gang system is divided by race and skin color all which he is stuck in the middle of. In prison, is where he would meet Magic a member of spider’s gang which openly fought with Miklo’s gang Vatos Locos. They quickly become friends despite their previous conflicts and confrontations between the two gangs because as Popeye mentioned everything is determined by race. This is relevant as in
How was this lab activity similar to other labs that you have done in the past?
Blood type is the type of blood a person has that is passed down from the parents. The goal of this experiment was to find out if all the children were Mr. Johnson’s. The guided question was “Are all of Mr. Johnson’s children his biological offspring?” This relates back to the background information because the group had to find the blood type of each child and relate it to Mr. Johnson’s blood type.
A married couple of 8 years, the Johnsons, have three children. The thing is, even though the Johnsons are married, Mrs. Johnson has been having an affair with a certain Mr. Wilson for the entirety of the marriage, which leads us to this question; are Mr. Johnson’s children actually his, or are they related to Mr. Wilson? A simple blood test can figure this out for us. By using samples of everyone’s blood, it can be determined if the children are not related to Mr. Johnson by seeing if their blood types match. The test involves gathering blood samples of both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Johnson, along with the children and Mrs. Johnson. Antigens in blood can be detected by Anti-serums and if picked up, can tell different blood types apart. For example,
The investigation is showing how enzymes work inside a mammal's stomach. Rennin is the enzyme found in young mammals and has more effect
A more recent example is Blood Work (2002). The film tells the story of Jasper "Buddy" Noone (Jeff Daniels), who finds a pseudo-justification of murder by claiming that the bodies of the dead may be used to save other lives. "Buddy" Noone illustrates an archaic sacrificial logic, in which death is justified because it saves the lives of others. But those that are killed are victims that we know were innocent; so, for us, rightly, "Buddy" Noone is just a psychopathic killer, whatever the arguments emphasizing sacrifice with which he disguises himself. In the film, Clint Eastwood is the former detective Terry McCaleb. He is once again the ultimate god of violence who finally kills "Buddy" Noone and thus restores order
In order to finish as much as possible, the hematologist was quick in her transition. When she let the blood sit in the narrow glass tube, she was preparing other things for future use so that other tests would be quicker. When other hematologist came to her work area, she was cooperative toward her coworker so that there won’t be any confusions or delay in their testing. Lastly, she was efficient in her work; she used her free time to do minor things such as putting the label on the tube so that there will be a new barcode. Overall she was very experienced in her work that she knew how to use her time wisely in order to identify abnormality of
When foreign antigens enter the body, chemical signals are dispatched to different parts of the immune system and send it into action. B lymphocytes produce the antigen specific antibodies. The antibodies will then attach to the antigen/virus and T lymphocytes will attack the antigen that the antibody has bound itself to. Once the antigen has been eliminated phagocytes, which are cells that absorb bacteria and other small particles/substances, will come through and absorb the remains of the antigen/infection. In a forensic setting antibodies can also be used to identify an unknown blood/protein. The purpose of this experiment is to use the process of immunoprecipitation to identify an unknown host protein.
The purpose of this experiment is to identify the different blood types through the antigen and antibody reaction by using the anti- A, Anti- B and Anti- Rh serums we will be able to identify the different blood types. We will also discuss how this can be used in the clinical setting of this blood typing procedure, by doing so we will know how antigens and antibodies relate to the blood typing procedure in the real world settings.
If a simple blood test could accurately diagnose a blood concussion, researchers hope that it will one day be used on the field with trainers, coaches and parents for developing a plan of action. According to the Centers for Disease control and prevention, analysts estimate that around 1,000,000 children have to be treated in hospitals for traumatic brain injury because of playing sports.

There Will Be Blood is a historical drama written and directed by P.T Anderson. The film explores themes of ambition, loneliness, lust for power, false personas, hatred, lack of faith, mistrust and loss of humanity. Anderson explores these themes through the characters of Daniel Plainview and Eli Sunday. In addition to character exploration, Anderson uses a variety of cinematic techniques in order to subtextually portray these themes. These techniques include, contrasting lighting, long shots, wide angles and mis en scene. The first themes to be explored in There Will Be Blood are ambition and loneliness. The film begins with a wide shot of a vast and open terrain. This signifies the emptiness of our setting. We meet the character of
