Blood

This poster offers a basic level of understanding of ABGs for medical students. I have also made an ID-card-sized version which can be easily used on the ward. Students can work around the table, looking at pH, then CO2 and then HCO3- and find the answer in the correct box.  

A simplified drawing for the diseases of liver and gallbladder. Hope it helps!

Illustrated tutorial overview of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System.  

The heart's conductions system controls the generation and propagation of electric signals or action potentials causing the hearts muscles to contract and the heart to pump blood.  

As a larger volume of blood flows into the ventricle, the blood will stretch the walls of the heart, which in turn increases the force of the contraction and thus the quantity of blood that is pumped into the aorta during systole.  

As a junior doctor/medical student the ability to take an Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) is a key skill. In this video we will demonstrate a slick technique to help you get an arterial blood sample.  

Get an overview of basic microbiology and the concepts involved, including the bacterial growth curve and classifying organisms based on morphologies. This lecture describes blood, urine and skin/soft tissue cultures, focusing on the types of media, sample collection processes, culture procedures, as well as speciation and susceptibility testing.

In DVT, there is the potential danger of a blood clot breaking free and travelling with the blood stream. As a consequence, the clot is able to reach the hea...  

A simple diagram, and the only way I could make sense of the way Iron is transported from the GI tract to the blood.  

Watch how the blood flows through the fetal circulation and compare it to what happens in the baby's body.  

An arterial blood gas (ABG) is a blood test that measures the acidity (pH) and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. Blood for an ABG test is taken from an artery whereas most other blood tests are done on a sample of blood taken from a vein. This test is done to monitor several conditions that can cause serious health complications especially to critically ill individuals.

This is a cool video teaching the basics of analysing an ABG in 5 min  

These drawings should help make sense of the branches of the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava. These vessels supply blood to/from the organs of the abd...
