Bicarbonate and Chloride form an exchanger to help regulate and buffer the body's pH.

The buffering capacity of blood is maintained by a reversible exchange process between bicarbonate and:

Calculation:

Cells Counted (in this case the average of both sides) X dilution factor (in this case 100) / # of squares counted (in this case 9) X area of each square (1mm2) X 0.1mm (depth factor)

So, in this problem:

158 x 100 / 9 x 1 x 0.1mm = 17555.55/mm3 (can be converted to 17.5 x 109/L*)

*There are 1,000,000 mm3 in a liter (L). So 17555.55 X 1,000,000 = 17.5 x 109/L

A manual white blood cell count was performed by the hematology technologist. The cell counts for both sides were 152 and 164 respectively. All nine large squares were counted on each side. The dilution for this kit was pre-measured at 1:100. What should the technologist report as the white cell count?

Cerebrospinal fluid has three main functions:

Protect brain and spinal cord from trauma.

Supply nutrients to nervous system tissue.

Remove waste products from cerebral metabolism.

Which of the following are functions of CSF? Please select all correct answers

The laboratory employee with a 4-year college degree who performs clinical analysis is the:

Hypochromia can best be described as:

In DIC, or disseminated intravascular coagulation, the prothrombin time is increased due to the consumption of the coagulation factors due to the tiny clots forming throughout the vasculature. This is also the reason that the fibrinogen levels and platelet levels are decreased. Finally FDP, or fibrin degredation products, are increased due to the formation and subsequent dissolving of many tiny clots in the vasculature. The FDPs are the pieces of fibrin that are left after the fibrinolytic processes take place.

Which of the following laboratory results would be seen in a patient with acute Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)?
