Howell Chapters 6-8


In chapters 6-8 it is discussion about the different techniques that were used as instrumental techniques in regards to blood. The techniques included: looking at solid elements in the blood through a microscope, measuring properties of blood in some other way, and counting blood cells. Many people did not believe that white blood cells play any important role in regards to the body.  The questions that were brought up in the chapters were how should medical practitioners examine the blood? When coming up with a blood exam many different things went into a count as far as who will be conducting it, because they doctors could be doing more important thing, so you would have to create another job and teach them how to work the equipment and conduct the exam. The blood test also helps when it comes to figuring out certain illnesses and diseases, such as pneumonia.
