I am beyond overwhelmed at the moment with this class and lif in general. I have a lecture exam and lab quiz today and have been battling a kidney stone (will probably be going in for surgery on Thursday to have it removed) and completely overlooked the fact that this lab is due today as well. I don't have time to run all of the labs at this moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hematocrit Determination
1.) Hematocrit value for healthy male living at sea level in Boston =
Hematocrit value for healthy female living at sea leve in Boston =
2.) Were the values listed in question 1 within normal range?
3.) Describe the difference between the male and female hematocrit for an individual living in Boston?
4.) Hematocrit value for healthy male living in Denver =
Hematocrit value for healthy female living in Denver =
5.) How did these values differ fromthe vaules of Boston?
6.) Describe the effect of living at high elevations on a persons hematocrit? ( I am assuming they will be higher??)
7.) Describe how he kidney's respond to a decreasein oxygen and what effect this has on hematocrit.
8.) Hematocrit value for male with aplastic anemia =
% WBC for male with aplastic anemia=
9.) Were the values listed in question 8 witin the normal range? Why or why not?
10.) Hematocrit for female with iron-deficiency anemia=
11.) Was the value in question 10 normal or not? Explain.
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
12.) Describe the effec that sickle cell anemia has on the sedimentation rate.
13.) Why d you think that it has this effect?
14.) Record the sedimentation rate for a menstruating female.
15.) How did this value compare to the healthy individual? Why?
16.) What was the sedimentation ratefor he iron-deficient individual?
17.) What effect does iron deficiency have on ESR?
18.) ESR for person suffering from a myocardial infarction=
ESR for person suffering from angina pectoris=
19.) Compare the values in question 18 and explain how they might be used to monitor heart conditions.
20.) Listsome other conditions tha ES is used to monitor.
Hemoglobin
21.) Describe the ration of packed cell volume to Hb obtained for the healthy male and female subjects.
22.) Describe the ratio of packed cell volume to Hb for the female with iron-deficiency anemia.
23.) Is the female with iron-deficiency anemia deficient in hemoglobin?
24.) Is the male with polycythemia deficient in hemoglobin?
25.) Is the female Olympic athlete deficient in hemoglobin?
26.) List conditions in which Hb would decrease.
27.) List conditions in which Hb would increase.
Thanks again for any help. If I can get these filled in at least it woul be half done...
