1-4, 1-6 Solving Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities 
Absolute value: distance from zero on a number line. Since distance in a nonnegative, the
absolute value of a number is always positive. The symbol lxi  is used to represent the absolute
value of a number x.

Solving Absolute Value Equations: For any real numbers a and b, where b ~! 0, if Jal =
then a = b or ?a = b. The second case is often written as a = ?b.

ABO and Rh Blood Groups
Blood type is inherited from your parents and is determined by the presence or absence of certain antigens, or agglutinogens, on the surface of red blood cells. Blood plasma also contains specific antibodies, or agglutinins. These antibody molecules will react to foreign antigens causing those cells to burst, a process called hemolysis. This is why it?s important to perform blood type testing before blood transfusions.
Hematocrit							Name _______________________								Date _______________Pd_______								A hematocrit is a blood test that measures the ratio of the volume of red blood cells to the total volume of blood. A blood sample is usually collected in a small capillary tube and spun down in a centrifuge so that the more dense erythrocytes settle at the bottom and the liquid plasma rises to the top. The leukocytes and thrombocytes form a whitish layer below the plasma. A hematocrit can also be run from a sample of blood taken from a vein.

Introduction to Electrocardiography
Name _______________________________
Date _______________________Pd_______
EKG or ECG stands for electrocardiogram, a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. The test is performed by placing electrodes on the skin which can detect the heart?s electrical impulses. The electrocardiograph that is produced by the test can indicate a variety of heart function irregularities.
Do some research to determine what is taking place in the heart to produce the following waves on an EKG tracing.

Anatomy
Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of the body and body parts as well as their relationship to one another.
For example, to describe the anatomy of the stomach, you might discuss its size, shape, color and location.

Bones are Organs
Each bone is a complex living organ made up of many cells, protein fibers, and minerals.
They come in many sizes and shapes.
The largest bone is the femur and the smallest is the stapes.
