SLIDE NOTES

Very close yung trabaho nila (doctors) sa

diagnosis

Red blood cells - hematology

Animation of bacteria - Bacteriology
Antibody (basic structure microscopically) -
immunology and serology
Blood bank
DNA - molecular bio section
Liver tissue - histopathology (tissue related
disorders)
Structural compositions of chemicals - cLinical
chemistry
Microscope - Clinical microscopy

HEMATOLOGY
- Study of blood ano sorry
(pathophysiology lng narinig ko)
- Analysis, classification, and monitoring of
RBC abnormalities
- Platelets: blood clotting
- Red blood cells - responsible for carrying
oxygen from our pulmonary system to the
circulatory system; Biconcave structure
- White blood cells - responsible for
defending our body against foreign
substances; lymphocytes

MedTech must always double check the

diagnosis of doctors (Ex. whether BUN and
creatinine levels is affected by a Liver disease or
renal system).

2016 Nucleaus Medical Media - How our body
responds to inflammation/wounds
Basically she’s saying how important na
matandaan ng medtech ang mga minute details
kasi crucial siya for helping a diagnosis of
licensed specialist in the field of med (example
used is Poikilocytes — an increase in abnormal
red blood cells of any shape that makes up to
10% or more of the total population).

^^ RBC
White blood cells
- Neutrophil
- Mature neutrophil don’t divide
- Circulates around the blood
- Lives for 2-3 days
- Surveillance cell
- Guided by chemicals released by the
body
- Engulfs bacteria in a phagosome?
- Contains pouches containing lysosome
- After killing the bacteria, it shrinks in siz
and can be eaten by other cells.
Inflammation - local and new response to
infection
- Heat, redness, pain, and loss of function
- Vasoconstriction and clot formation
(natural response after damage)
- Vaso active chemicals to dilute local
blood vessels to increase blood flow to
the area
- Endothelial contracts
- Increased capillary permeability
- Chemotaxis
- Moves neutrophil to the site of injury
- Diapedesis

Has 4 sub-branches:
1. Parasitology
2.
3. Mycology - study of fungi
4.

Medtech are usually skilled enough to figure out

what bacteria is present given a urinalysis.

A good doctor would not only be good at

diagnosis but having enough empathy as well so
as to not demand a lot of examinations/test
beyond their financial capability.

TAMA PO EAN

Lactose fermenters - pink colonies

Violet - gram positive

Pink - gram negative

Antimicrobial resistant

Tulog muna hehe

Antibiotic susceptibility testing - used to check if
the patient has an antibiotic resistance so that
the type and dosage can be adjusted.

Antigens (monoclonal or polyclonal) -

vaccinations
Antibodies - booster shots

Biochemical content of our body.

E.g. BUN and Createnin, AST and ALT for Livers

(Aminotransferase)

How we metabolize chemicals or glucose for

example.

MedTech still involves mathematical principles.
