Minimal Requirements for Lab Identify Structure and Name Function Note: We use animal blood, not human blood (blood is stored in the fridge when not in use) and follow safe lab practices when handling any blood! Structures on models and histology slides: Identify the following formed elements, their relative abundance, and specific function Erythrocytes Neutrophils Eosinophils Basophils Lymphocytes Monocytes Platelets Do the following activities See Hematology Handout – Discuss the physical characteristics of plasma along with the components. Make a blood smear and properly stain using animal blood (supplies and directions will be provided). Microscopically examine the formed elements of this stained blood slide. Demonstrate a differential WBC count. Determine a hematocrit or packed cell volume (PCV) using animal blood and interpret the results. Type for ABO and Rh blood groups (use the blood typing kits or animal blood). Explain the results of a blood typing test by indicating the type of antigens (agglutinogens) and antibodies (agglutinins) in the donor and recipient blood. Define these abnormal counts: Leukocytosis Leukopenia Polycythemia Anemia Thrombocytosis Thrombopenia Leukemia
