(Testing effects of ether) How would you describe the trace that is generated when the nerve is exposed to ether and then stimulated with adequate voltage? Thus ether had what effect on nerves ability to produce an action potential?
Low white blood cell counts (WBC) can be particularly problematic, because your white blood cell count is so closely tied to your immune systemâs ability to protect you from infection. Because a low white blood count can be life threatening, itâs a good idea to familiarize yourself with the symptoms and terminology. When you get your blood work, the lab will be looking for: Leukopenia â A decrease in the total number of white blood cells, which can lead to a lowered white blood cell count. Neutropenia â A decrease in the number of neutrophils, also creating a lower WBC. Granulocytopenia â Another term that may be used for Neutropenia.
The absolute neutrophil count(ANC)in the body can be lower than the normal for one of two reasons 1. either the body isn't producing the neutrophils in normal quantities or 2. the neutrophils aren't lasting as long as they should. Potential causes for #1 range from blood cancers, to radiation, to B12 deficiency.
