Human blood smear can have the following types of blood:
a red blood cell is an erythrocyte. This erythrocyte may exhibit the antigens
A, B or Rh factor. A neutrophil and a monocyte are types of white blood cell that can "eat" foreign microbes. A platelet is a blood protein that is used for clotting blood. Have a look at this site to see more blood cells
When you look at the lymph node slides look at this website from Yale University to help you know what you are looking at . Further, look at this Histology blog to help you identify denditric cells
Further, have a look at this cartoon to help understand the locations of the B-cells, T-cells and also dendictric cells in a lymph node
In your Blood lab please do the following , All drawings should be done in a circle and use a petri dish to draw the circle.
1. Draw a clear, colour drawing of a human blood smear on high power. Label the cells that you find, including erythrocytes, and WBCs such as lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils.
2. Draw a clear, colour drawing of a slide of a lymph node and label whatever structures you can. Draw this under low and medium power.
3. Copy this cartoon of the lymph node to familiarize yourself with where the cells are.
