Lab #16 Blood What are the parts of the blood? What are some diseases that affect human blood?
TASK #1 OBSERVING RED BLOOD CELLS, WHITE BLOOD CELLS AND PLATELETS
Human Blood Parts • Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) • Carry oxygen • Most numerous in blood smear • Draw one or two RBC’s on your chart on page 2 • Label • Cell membrane • Cytoplasm • Count: 100 Cell membrane Cytoplasm
Human Blood Parts • White Blood Cells (Leukocytes) • Function in the immune system • Much larger than RBC’s • Draw one or two WBC’s on your chart on page 2 • Label • Cell membrane • Cytoplasm • Nucleus • Count: 15 Cell membrane Nuclear material Cytoplasm
Human Blood Parts • Platelets • Function in clotting • “Dot-like” fragments scattered throughout smear • Cell fragments, not cells! • Draw some platelets on your chart on page 2 • “t” stands for thrombocyte • Count: 50
Human Blood Parts • Plasma • Functions in transporting nutrients and hormones • Yellowish in color • On your lab, sketchthe test tube showing the separation of blood • Labelthe parts of the blood as shown in the diagram
TASK #2 Observing a healthy human blood smear
Human Blood Smear • Identify: • Red Blood cell • Label cell membrane • Label cytoplasm • WBC • Label cell mem • Label cytoplasm • Label nucleus • Platelets White blood cell Magnification 800x
TASK #3 Observing common blood diseases and disorders
Leukemia Smear • Identify: • Red Blood cell • Label cell membrane • Label cytoplasm • WBC • NOTICE THAT THE NUCLEUS IS MUCH BIGGER! • Label cell mem • Label cytoplasm • Label nucleus • Platelets Diseased white blood cell
SICKLE CELL ANEMIA • Identify: • Red Blood cell • Label cell membrane • Label cytoplasm • Sickle cell • WBC • Label cell mem • Label cytoplasm • Label nucleus • Platelets
Mononucleosis Smear • Identify: • Red Blood cell • Label cell membrane • Label cytoplasm • WBC • NOTICE THE WATERY APPEARANCE OF THE WBC • Label cell mem • Label cytoplasm • Label nucleus • Platelets
TASK #4 Observing the blood of other vertebrates
Frog Blood • Identify: • Red Blood cell • Label cell membrane • Label cytoplasm • Label nucleus • WBC • Label cell mem • Label cytoplasm • Label nucleus • Platelets
Bird blood • Identify: • Red Blood cell • Label cell membrane • Label cytoplasm • Label nucleus • WBC • Label cell mem • Label cytoplasm • Label nucleus • Platelets • Just draw some dots!
