In collecting a dermal puncture specimen into a microcollection container, tapping the container on a hard surface is recommended as it will allow the blood to mix with the anticoagulant, if present.

What is dermal puncture?

  • A dermal (skin) puncture may be required when a venipuncture cannot be performed or may be the option of choice for some point-of-care test procedures.
  • The puncture is quick and standardized for puncture depth.
  • The procedure takes longer to complete. This delay in collection of the blood specimen could result in hemolysis or clotting of the blood or tissue fluid contamination of the specimen and specimen rejection by the laboratory.
  • The dermal puncture minimizes the amount of blood taken from the patient. This will be important to consider, especially with infants in an intensive care nursery.
  • Some laboratory tests require larger amounts of blood for testing; in these cases, capillary collection is not an option.
  • If a patient is dehydrated or has poor peripheral circulation, an adequate blood collection from a dermal puncture may not be possible.
  • When a dermal puncture is performed it should be noted on the requisition. The concentration of glucose may be higher in blood obtained by dermal puncture, and the concentrations of sodium, total protein, and calcium may be lower.

Answer:

New vegetation and animals came to this place when the environment is suitable.

Explanation:

The ash and rock strewn surface began to undergo primary succession after few month when the soil is cool down because the soil has nutritive medium that helps the vegetation to grow on that land. In the primary succession, the new vegetation grows which is well suited to that environmental condition and uses the nutrients present in that soil for its growth and development. Many new organisms also came to this new landscape when the environment is suitable.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

These bundles are also called Fascicles

Explanation:

Skeletal muscle, also called voluntary muscle, in vertebrates, most common of the three types of muscle in the body. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other. muscle is a form of striated muscle tissue, which is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons. A skeletal muscle refers to multiple bundles (fascicles) of cells joined together called muscle fibers.

The bundles of muscle fibers are called fascicles, they are covered by the perimysium. Muscle fibers are covered by the endomysium. Inside each skeletal muscle, muscle fibers are organized into individual bundles, each called a fascicle, by a middle layer of connective tissue called the perimysium.

How are fats absorbed into the lymph? how are fats absorbed into the lymph? in the form of glycerol in the form of chylomicrons
katovenus [111]
The correct answer is in the form of chylomicrons.  
<span>
Digested fats are resynthesized into triglycerides inside the epithelial cells, and there they're coated by proteins. Such structures are called chylomicrons (small globules composed of protein and lipid). The chylomicron is water-soluble and that allows it to travel outside of the cell and enter the lymphatic capillaries-lacteals.</span>
