JUNE 11,13 – LANGUAGE OF ANATOMY AND ENDOCRINE ANATOMY

 

LANGUAGE OF ANATOMY:

Resources: Glance at page 2 in a copy of the Mink Lab Manual to understand anatomic terminology of the quadriped (mink).   Section 1.6 in your Van Putte Textbook has human terminology. Use your own body and the human torso models to refresh on the basic organization of the body.  Know the following terms:

Anatomical Position (both human and quadriped), Superior, Inferior, Cranial, Caudal, Medial, Lateral, Superficial, Deep, Ventral, Anterior, Dorsal, Posterior, Proximal, Distal, Sagittal plane, Transverse plane, Frontal plane,  Thoracic cavity, Abdominal cavity, Pelvic cavity.

ENDOCRINE ANATOMY:

Resources: Dissection Guide and Atlas to the Mink by David Smith and Michael Schenk has mink endocrine glands in Chapter 9. Figure 9.2 Mink lab manual or Sections 18.2 and 18.9 in your Van Putte Textbook has pituitary and pineal gland pictures.

Mink Photographs: Endocrine system mink

Mink Dissection: a) Obtain a mink and open the ventral body cavity as described on pp. 49-50 in the mink lab manual or by your instructor.

  1.  Observe the following endocrine glands of the mink: Thyroid, Thymus, Pancreas, Adrenal, Ovary, Testis.
  2.  Observe the pituitary gland and pineal gland (=body) on the preserved sheep brain.
  3.  Put your mink away as described by your instructor. Clean your working area thoroughly.
  4.  Observe the microscopic anatomy on the Thyroid gland, Pancreas, Adrenal gland, Ovary, and Testis as described in Chapter 18 in the Van Putte Textbook.

JUNE 18, 20 – BLOOD

Resources: Chapter 19 in your Van Putte Textbook.  Exercise 29 in your abbreviated Marieb Lab Manual.

Activity 1: Observe the color and clarity of plasma after you conduct the hematocrit test (to be done later in this lab).

Activity 2: Observe one of each formed elements on a prepared human blood sample slide.  You must be able to identify erythrocytes, thrombocytes, and each of the granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils) and each of the agranulocytes (lymphocytes and monocytes).   Note:  All granulocytes and agranulocytes are types of leukocytes.

Activity 4: Conduct a Hematocrit using the microhematocrit reader card. Then, observe the color and clarity of plasma from Activity 1.  See if you can spot the layer of leukocytes found in the buffy coat between the plasma and the red blood cells.

Activity 5:  Determine the approximate hemoglobin concentration of the blood sample using the Tallquist method:

  1. Remove a piece of test paper from a Tallquist booklet and place it on a flat surface before you.
  2. Touch a drop of blood to the center of the paper.
  3. After 15 seconds, compare your sample with the reference color scale. Results are in grams of hemoglobin per 100 ml of blood.

Activity 7:  Obtain an unknown blood sample and conduct the blood typing experiment to determine its ABO and Rh factor.

JULY 2 and JULY 11 – EXAM 1

(25 questions, 50 points)

Expect question distribution to be: 1/5 Endocrine, 1/5 Blood, 1/5 Heart, 2/5 Blood Vessels.

JULY 9,11 – CARDIOVASCULAR PHYSIOLOGY

Resources: Exercises 31 (Electrocardiography) and 33 (Blood pressure and Pulse Determinations) in your abbreviated Marieb Lab Manual.  Section 20.6 in your Van Putte Textbook: Electrocardiography.

ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY; USING INTELITOOL CARDIOCOMP TM

GETTING STARTED

1. With PC computer, McADDAM II and ECG cables connected, you may power up the PC and McADDAM II. The power indicator on the upper right hand corner of McADDAM II will light when the unit is turned on.

2. Launch the Cardiocomp program by clicking on the start menu and highlighting programs, Intelitool, and the select Cardiocomp1. Once loaded, pull down file menu, select new, and click ok.

3. The data collection will stop automatically after the time specified under File Setup. You may change the duration to 60 seconds for shorter collection period. If desired, the sample rate may be slowed down to 60 samples/second (measured in Hz) from Rate setting under File Setup.

4. Although all three leads should be examined during this exercise, start with Lead II. Select I, II, or III to change Leads under the Lead pull down menu.

PREPARING THE SUBJECT

1.Snap the three flat plate electrodes to the black, green and red cables.

2.Remove any jewelry on the wrists or ankles. Scrub the area thoroughly where the electrodes are to be applied {See locations on Lead 1,2,3 diagrams on computer.} Wipe the cleaned area with 70% alcohol on cotton.

3.Apply a liberal amount of electrode gel to the contact surface of the electrode.

4.Strap the electrode to the appropriate appendage (anywhere on the wrist and ankle) so the strap is snug but not too tight . Make sure the subject is comfortable and that their circulation is not restricted.

5.In addition to proper electrode application, signal clarity and stability can be enhanced by ensuring that the electrode cables remain stationary during data acquisition. Any wiggling of the wires relative to each other will introduce noise into the signal. Try to keep the wires being used in a group – taping them together often helps. Also, do not drape any of the wires, including the one which plugs into the computer, over a potential noise source such as a power cord. If the subject is in a supine position on a table, it will be easier to keep the wires stationary.

6.Remember to move cables to the appropriate appendage on the subject when changing Leads on the computer! The ground electrode must be used on the right leg at all times.

THE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM

1.When the subject is ready, click “Start” to begin acquiring data. You can stop data acquisition at any time by clicking the mouse.

2.Examine and analyze your data. Identify the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave. Note any differences in the appearance of the various waves for the different Leads.

3.Select Analyze from under the Acquire pull down menu or by clicking the shortcut button located on the top-right of the Data Acquisition window. Time/Voltage allows you to measure time intervals and voltage differences between any two points in the data set. The numbers displayed in the “Difference” box represent the difference between two data points identified by data markers. Create data markers by placing arrow on desired data point on ECG and clicking mouse. If you hold the mouse button and drag the mouse after creating the first data marker, you can see the absolute voltage for any point in the window. Click “Reset” to erase data markers so that they can be positioned elsewhere in the data set. An automatic analysis may be used by selecting the on field to replace using data markers.

INTERPRETATION OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAM

–The P wave represents atrial depolarization and the QRS complex represents ventricular depolarization. The T wave represents ventricular repolarization. Atrial repolarization is not visible, as it occurs during the dominant QRS complex.

–The P-Q interval is often called the P-R interval because the Q wave is usually small or absent. The normal P-Q interval time is 0.12-0.20 sec. The normal QRS complex duration is less than 0.10 sec, and the Q-T interval should be less than 0.38 sec. How do your results compare with these normal values?

–Determine the ventricular rate by measuring the elapsed time between two R waves. Divide 60 by your time between R waves. The ventricular rate is in beats per minute.
