Cat Arterial and Venous System, the 2 minute tutorial

Amusing YouTube Tutorial with a simple cat model with veins marked. Less grotesque, although the narrator is bit interesting to listen to.

Ask the wizard for a heart...

Pictures, slides and links for the heart -- anyone send a few so I can make a collection. Unfortunately never received any pictures from the lab... so on to the next.

Histology Blood

Well, it's a bit late, and I get the feeling it's only me using this blog anyways...
None the less, here's the blood histology slides I found online. This week seemed fairly simple:

Formed Elements make up 45% of blood
Plasma makes up 55% of blood

Erythrocytes: Red blood cells

Leukocytes are white blood cells and include the following:

Granulocytes- Neutrophil, Eosinophil, and Basophil appear grainy in slides

Neutrophil: (50-70% of Leukocytes)
multi-lobe neucleus, active phagocyte

Eosinophil: (2-4% of Leukocytes)
bilobed neucleus

Basophil (0.5-1 % of Leukocytes)
"S" shaped neucleus

Agranulocytes: no visible granules clear cyctoplasm

Lymphocyte- spherical neucleus imported for antibody immune response

Monocytes: "U" shaped neucleus, long term-chronic illness 2x's as big as RBC

To remember the greatest percentage in blood/plasma use the achronymn

Never Let Monkeys Eat bananas

neutrophil
lymphocyte
monocyte
eosinophil
