The Leica microscope that we will be using for histology lab has four different objective lenses and an ocular lens. When you are looking at blood cells through the ocular lens and using the 10x objective, the total magnification of the blood cells will be:
1) 400X
2) 10X
3) 100X
4) 20X

a) improves
b) worsens
C) does not change
d) the same

- An 83-year-old woman is admitted to the hospital, where a critical care nurse attempts to insert a nasoenteric tube (“stomach tube”) for feeding. The patient begins to exhibit dyspnea, and a chest X-ray reveals air in the right pleural cavity and a collapsed right lung. The patient dies 5 days later from respiratory complications.

As yo attempt to ventilate, the patient vomits. A) What would be your immediate actions? B) During your next attempt to intubate, you observe a large piece of undigested steak blocking your view of the glottis. How would you clear the airway, and what equipment would be needed? C) After the airway is cleared, you attempt to intubate the patient. However, your ability to intubate is impeded by the movement of the chest compressions. What would you suggest?arrow_forwardTwo warm-blooded animals underwent surgery in the following places: a) in the first animal , in the ligation of the right bronchus and left pulmonary artery; b) in the second animal, in the ligation of the left bronchus and left pulmonary artery. Immediately after the operation, registration of the pneumogram began, but the first animal died very quickly, while the second animal didn’t . Questions: 1. Why did the first animal die? 2. Was there any Violation of any stages of breathing? 3. Describe and explain changes in external respiration in animals.arrow_forwardWrite the term that the phrase describes. 1. Large knob that moves the stage or objective lens a great distance. Used with scanning or low-power objective lenses only. 2. Flat platform beneath the objective lens on which the microscope slide is placed. 3. Removable lenses that you look through to observe the microscope slide. 4. Small knob that moves the stage or objective lens a very small distance and is used for precision focusing. 5. Extends from the arm and contains the ocular lenses and rotating nosepiece. 6. Lens that condenses light through the specimen and is located below the stage. 7. Light from specimen passes through these lenses first. These lenses are located in the rotating nosepiece. 8.
