Study Notes
Biomedical Terminology and Concepts
- PPE stands for personal protective equipment used to shield against infectious materials.
- Blood spatter analysis is a forensic technique assessing bloodstains to understand the circumstances of a crime.
- A 12 point match indicates at least twelve specific similarities between two fingerprints.
- Forensic science applies scientific methods to address civil and criminal legal questions.
Human Body Systems
- The digestive system transforms food into usable energy and eliminates waste.
- The urinary system is responsible for waste excretion in urine form.
Medical Abbreviations and Measurements
- "PO" indicates medication taken by mouth; "tid" means three times daily.
- One teaspoon equals 5 ml; one ounce equals 30 ml.
Autopsy and Forensic Investigation
- A toxicologist assesses body fluids for toxins, like drugs in an autopsy report.
- An autopsy includes an external exam identifying distinguishing features like scars and tattoos.
- A coroner performs autopsies to determine causes of death.
- Upon completion of an autopsy, a death certificate must be filed.
Genetic and Cellular Biology
- DNA and RNA are found in the nucleus of a cell, which houses genetic information.
- A typical human cell contains 46 chromosomes essential for genetic diversity.
- DNA is structured as a double helix, composed of nucleotides made of a nitrogenous base, deoxyribose, and phosphate.
- Four chemicals form DNA: Cytosine, Thymine, Guanine, and Adenine.
Research Concepts
- An experiment investigates the cause-and-effect relationship between variables.
- A hypothesis provides a clear prediction of expected results.
- A positive control serves as a benchmark for validating experimental outcomes.
Scientific Discovery and History
- DNA was discovered in 1953 by scientists Crick and Watson.
Post-Mortem Changes
- Rigor mortis begins three hours after death and primarily affects the face.
- Lividity is observable within 30 minutes after death, indicating blood pooling.
- Factors such as obesity and temperature can slow decomposition.
Anatomical and Physiological Overview
- The integumentary system includes skin, hair, and nails.
- The nervous system encompasses sensory receptors, the spinal cord, brain, and nerves.
- The lymphatic system filters bodily fluids and combats foreign substances.
- The cardiovascular system contains the heart, blood vessels, and capillaries, vital for transporting oxygen and nutrients.
Health and Medicine
- Triple X syndrome can occur due to advanced maternal age.
- The left ventricle's thickness is due to its role in efficiently pumping blood throughout the body.
- A poor choice for managing cholesterol would be excessively cutting back on protein.
Bacterial Biology and Resistance
- Most bacteria are beneficial to humans, playing crucial roles in health.
- Antibiotic resistance can be reduced by avoiding overuse of antibiotics.
Cholesterol Guidance
- Low-density cholesterol (LDL) levels should be under 130 mg/dL.
- High-density cholesterol (HDL) levels should be around 50 mg/dL.
- Total cholesterol should be kept below 200 mg/dL.
Miscellaneous
- Coccus refers to bacteria that are round in shape.
- Platelets are crucial for blood clotting, playing a key role in hemostasis.
