NAME: Mason Patterson DATE: Lab Report Hematology: Introduction to Blood This lab report is for you to reflect on what you completed and learned in this simulation, and to practice your written scientific communication skills. Include enough detail to clearly describe the lab experience to someone who understands the concepts but has not participated in the simulation. Use correct scientific terminology whenever applicable. Sections 1. Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis 2. Introduce relevant background knowledge on this topic 3. Summarize the steps taken in the simulation 4. Explain any obtained results 5. Discuss the conclusions and implications 1 Copyright Labster ApS 2021 All Rights Reserved
1. Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis. What is the overall purpose of the experiments or activities? Make a hypothesis. Recall that the hypothesis is a claim that answers a question or makes a prediction about an event that has not yet occurred. Hint: The purpose is often stated in the welcome message of the simulation (as shown in the example image below). For your entry make sure to include the following: Diagnose the issues with the three patients. I hypothesize staining blood smears from each patient will allow us to analyze their blood. 2 Copyright Labster ApS 2021 All Rights Reserved
2. Introduce relevant background knowledge on this topic. What have you learned in class or researched on your own that would help prepare for this simulation? Hint: You can review the “THEORY” section in the simulation (as shown in the example image below) For your entry make sure to include the following: Health issues stemming from blood cells appear typically through nosebleeds, swelling, and urine/stool. Hemacrit, reticulocyte, and hemoglobin tests are performed to observe red blood cells. White blood cell types are Eosinophiles, Basophils, Monocytes, Lymphocytes, and Neutrophils. 3 Copyright Labster ApS 2021 All Rights Reserved

3. Summarize the steps taken in the simulation. Explain all steps you completed, including the equipment and techniques you used. Hint: You can use the “MISSION” tab in the LabPad as inspiration (as shown in the example image below). For your entry make sure to include the following: Purple test tubes are gathered for each patient. Tube is scanned Sample is pipetted onto slide and smeared Smear is placed into fixation solution Smear is placed into Giemsa stain Smear is rinsed with water Allow to dry Place under microscope and add immersion oil Analyze cells for abnormalities 4 Copyright Labster ApS 2021 All Rights Reserved

4. Describe any obtained results. Explain all obtained results. Were these results expected or unexpected? Hint: You can use the “MEDIA” tab in the Lab Pad to revisit relevant images from the simulation (as shown in the example image below). For your entry make sure to include the following: Patient one had Malaria due to parasites internal to red blood cells. Patient two had Sickle Cell Anemia due to misshaped red blood cells. Patient three was hemophilic due to excessive bleeding. These results were expected based on symptoms patients experienced and appearance of blood cells. 6 Copyright Labster ApS 2021 All Rights Reserved

5. Discuss the conclusions and implications. How do your results relate back to the original purpose and your hypothesis? Were there any systematic sources of error that could have affected the results? What did you learn? For your entry make sure to include the following: This simulation used the Giemsa staining method to help visualize red blood cells, allowing me to diagnose the illness. There were no systematic issues experienced by me. Possible issues could occur during staining due to human error and misdiagnosing illnesses by not referencing information. I learned how hematology is used to understand health conditions of patients. 7 Copyright Labster ApS 2021 All Rights Reserved
