Theory and practical application of coagulation tests including capillary fragility, clotting time, bleeding times, prothrombin times, partial thromboplastin times, and fibrinogen assays.
-
6.00 Credits
Anatomy, physiology and related pathology of the circulatory system with specific reference to the formation, function and identification of blood cells. Major emphasis is on the related theory and performance of hematological procedures such as sample identification, collection and preparation; manual and automated leukocyte and erythrocyte counts; hemoglobin and hematocrit measurements; WBC differential; leukocyte and erythrocyte morphology; RBC indices; erythrocyte sedimentation rate; platelet count; reticulocyte count; and eosinophil count. An introduction to cell counts of other body fluids such as spinal fluid, transudates and exudates is covered. Automated hematological equipment is included. Specific methodologies in common use in medical laboratories and quality control standards are followed.
-
2.00 Credits
Meanings of root words, prefixes, and suffixes will be studied. Students will gain proficiency in analyzing medical words and have an understanding of how the elements relate and apply to medicine.
-

General and biological chemistry with applications specific to the medical laboratory. The student will become familiar with chemical terminology, the atomic structure, ionic and molecular compounds, organic chemistry, and acid and base balance. The biochemistry of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, enzymes and hormones are presented and their relationship to the medical laboratory is studied. Prerequisite: A grade of C or higher in this course is required before enrolling in ML 230.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic genetics, immunology and serology. The student will acquire an understanding of the immune system including antigen/antibody reactions, origin, stimulation, body response and rejection. A study of the immunoglobulins, complement and classifications of immunity, precipitation and agglutination reactions is included. Serological tests include the related theory and performance of procedures to include hepatitis, rubella, and Epstein-Barr virus, AIDS, CRP, RA, FANA, cold agglutinins, pregnancy, streptococcal diseases and autoimmune diseases.
