Band cells are the immature form of neutrophils and are produced rapidly during an infection. A large percentage of band cells in a venous blood sample indicate an infectious process occurring in the body.
Sensitivity to temperature is a skin sense that is related to the human need to maintain internal temperature balance or thermal homeostasis. Temperature sensitivity is important in protecting one's self from intense temperature that may cause damage to the body.
Characteristics of Sensors. High Sensitivity: Sensitivity indicates how much the output of the device changes with unit change in input (quantity to be measured). For example the voltage of a temperature sensor changes by 1mV for every 1oC change in temperature than the sensitivity of the sensor is said to be 1mV/oC. Linearity: The output should change linearly with the input. High Resolution: Resolution is the smallest change in the input that the device can detect.
