Blood Basics…
Today we discussed the components of blood, the ABO blood typing system, and the Rh factor of blood. Click here if you want to review the Powerpoint we used in class: Blood Basics Power Point.
Next, you guys began your station rotations for exploring the circulatory and the respiratory systems. Below is a brief explation of each station:
- Lab: Healthy Hematocrit - Using the simulated blood, can you identify which patient has anemia, which patient has a normal hematocrit, or which patient may be polycythemic?
- On-Line Emergency Room Activity – Can you save the emergency room patients by determining their blood type and the types of blood they may receive during a transfusion?
- Lab: Blood Typing Simulation – How do technicians determine a person’s blood type?
- How Much Blood Does Your Heart Pump in a Minute? – Using your very own pulse determine how much blood your very own heart pumps!
- Lab Completion and Review Time
- Heart Model Identification/Discussion and Review Time
- Lab Completion and Review Time
Tomorrow we will continue with our rotations=)
