PMLS 2: Clinical Lab Assistance and Phlebotomy
-different assays/test sa medtech
-highlight: phlebotomy
Human Histology
-tissues
-adipose tissue (tissue sa taba)
-four major basic types of tissue: connective, epithelial, muscle, nervous
Clinical Bacteriology
-study of bacteria
1) culture-growing of bacteria
2) staining procedures
gram stain- gram positive (blue/purple) negative (pink/red)
acid fast stain- positive (red) negative (blue)
3) antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST)
-test for susceptibility/resistance of bacteria to certain antibiotic
Clinical Parasitology
"egg hunting" during fecalysis
Ascaris lumbricoides
Trichuris trichuria
Tapeworm or cestode

Laboratory Management
1) quality assurance
2) motivational
-if you want to become chief medtech
Hematology 1
-study of blood, specifically blood cells
including:
monocyte=phagocyte
lymphocyte= adaptive immune system
3 major types of lymphocytes
(T cells, B cells, NK cells)
Neutrophil=phagocyte
Eosinophil=killing of parasites
Basophil= allergic reactions
Macrophage= mature monocyte
Erythrocyte= RBC, carry oxygen
Platelets= cell responsible for blood clot
Major tests in Hema 1
1. CBC-complete blood count
2. Differential Counting
3. Staining of blood cells
Hematology 2
-processes in hemostasis or blood clot
Tests in hema 2
1. Prothrombin time
2. APTT or Activated partial thromboplastin time/tine
3. Bleeding time
4. Clotting time
Clinical Microscopy
I. Urinalysis- analysis of urine
II. Other body fluids such as CSF( cerebrospinal fluid), semen, sperm cells, synobial fluid (joints)
