Blood (click to view image)
function

1. oxygen transport
2. carries nutrients to the circulation
3. carry waste products
4. circulates hormones and immune substances
5. controls body pH
6. Thermoregulation
7. hydraulics

Blood composed of:

1. plasma

• 55% of the whole blood
• straw yellow in color
• carries
  

1. glucose
   
2. fatty acid
3. lactic acid
4. amino acid
   
5. urea
6. hormone
7. immune subs.

2. corpuscles

• erythrocytes (RBC)
• leukocytes (WBC)
• thrombocytes (platelets)

ERYTHROCYTES (click to view image)

• stays in the circulation for 120 days
• composed of two substance the heme and the globin
• heme is the pigment that causes the red color of blood
• globin is the protein ion atoms that carries the carbondioxide when exchange of gas is happening

LEUKOCYTES (click to view image)

• 2 types: agranular means absence of granules and the granular or with granules
• in granular theres 3 cells present:
  

1. Basophil-involved in allergic reactions. Secretes histamine, heparin & vasopresin
   
2. Neutrophil- stays in the circulation for 12 hours, most common leukocyte, a phagocytic cell, secretes lysozyme( destroys bacterias)
   
3. Eosinophil-combats irritants, produce antihistamines and a defense against parasites.

• in agranular theres 2 cell present:

1. Monocyte- largest of all the leukocytes, stays in the circulation for 3 days, a phagocytic cell, it increases in size then becomes Macrophages.
2. Lymphocyte- called B-lymphocyte when produced in bones and T-lymphocyte when produced in the thymus gland, smallest of all the leukovytes, produces antibodies, controls cancer cells, destroys microorganisms and rejects foreign tissues (implants).

THROMBOCYTES (click to view image)

• called plateslets
• disk like fragments
• with nucleus
• stays in the circulation for 1 week
• responsible for blood clotting

FIY:

• hemoglobin is bright red in color when oxygenated and dark red with hue of blue if deoxygenated.
• in carbonmonoxide poisoning the blood is bright red in color.
• abscence of plasma the blood will be too viscou

PCMC duty ended- ended nicely...

Our group passed the exam given by our clinical instructor. I'm very lucky that day because even though I didn't had so much time to review the past lessons she gave, still i passed. We took the exam first before our Case Presentation- the nerve!!!!!, we thought there will be some staffs who will be watching us while reporting! hehehe again the fortune cookie seems to be so sweet, for the audience didn't make it!!!! ^_^v

Hmm... well done! as verbalized by our C.I., hehehe of course we have "prinz" in our group hes the one assigned to do the pathophysiology. He did the explanation in a simple but understandable terms. Im the one assigned in Anaphysiology, geezz!!, seemed like intensity 7 - my body was shaking!!! (nid BP).

Hehehe... as a symbol of our infinite gratitude to all the staff of ward B1-PCMC and to our C.I. we gave them something small -heheh cake!!, but we know it will bring at least a smile to their faces, strength to their tired body and we choose chocolate because it will keep them awake hehehe!!...

BLOOD GLUCOSE

Blood Glucose test...
This test is done for measuring a patients blood glucose level. the procedure is done depending on what the doctor has ordered - FBS, RBS, 2hr postprandial or glucose tolerance. Consent is a must for it is an invasive procedure. Instruct the patient that you will be collecting blood specimen for the test, the collection may be done through vernipunture, or through the use of a lancet or needle. Specimen is placed in a tight vial, or syringe when vernipunture is done, pipette, slide, strip, or small container when pricking using a lancet.

The specimen will be sent to the laboratory or a glucose meter can be used. A glucose meter is a gadget that has a special strip where small amount of blood is placed and the meter reads the level of glucose in the patients blood. Some people said that this meter is not that accurate they still do want the test to be performed in the laboratory.

The nurse's duty is to explain to the patient on what procedure is to be done, inform the patient that he/she might feel a stinging sensation and keep the sight free from any possible infection.
