For 2021 Lab Sections

Summary of Labs 1-5 to Use in Reviewing
for the 2021 Midterm Practical

Graduate Teaching Assistants are offering an Open Lab for Midterm Practical review in C108 on Saturday, February 21, 2009, from 2:30 - 4:30 PM.  If you go, please thank them for extending this opportunity to you!  Use the Science Building's fountain side doors as they will be the only ones unlocked.

Students, remember, you have the opportunity for Open Lab in C108 during most of the week of the practical.  Dr. T.

Dr. Pitts has also provided a short, ten question PowerPoint practical for all students.  You can quiz yourself on those questions from this link.

Lab 1: 

• cardiac muscle slide
• heart models and diagrams
• dissection of sheep heart
• PhysioEx^â 34B Frog Cardiovascular Physiology:  heart modifiers (computer simulation)

Lab 2: 

• anatomy of conduction pathway of the heart
• Biopac^â L05-ECG-1:  normal electrocardiogram (including the names of all waves, intervals, and segments, what they mean, and how they correlate to parts of the cardiac cycle)

Lab 3: 

• slide of artery, vein, and capillaries
• circulatory tree model
• arm blood vessels model
• vessels on torso, thorax, and pelvis models
• auscultating heart sounds
• palpating superficial pulse points
• Biopac^â L07-ECG-Pulse:  ECG and pulse (including effect of cold temperature and raising arm (gravity) on pulse amplitude)
• taking apical pulse
• Biopac^â L017-HS-1:  ECG and heart sounds (identify 1^st and 2^nd heart sounds and know what causes them, know where systole and diastole are)

Lab 4: 

• Biopac^â L016-BP-1:  blood pressure measurement (identify Korotkoff sounds and know what causes them, be able to determine systolic, diastolic, pulse, and mean arterial pressures)
• PhysioEx^â Cardiovascular Dynamics 33B:  vessel resistance and pump mechanics (computer simulation)

Lab 5: 

• blood slide (be able to differentiate red blood cells, platelets, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils)
• differential WBC count
• identify abnormal blood smear slide as leukemia
• identify abnormal blood smear slide as sickle cell anemia
• lymph node slide
• lymphatic vessels on charts and models
• blood typing (ABO and Rh systems)
• interpret hematocrit
