Work Step by Step

Auscult-listen ation-process Listening to a patient for a heart murmur-Auscultation is the technical term for listening to the internal sounds of the body, usually using a stethoscope. Auscultation is normally performed for the purposes of examining the cardiovascular system and respiratory systems (heart and lung sounds), as well as the gastrointestinal system (bowel sounds). Auscultation would be the best method to discover a heart murmur which is an abnormal sound. Histo-tissue logy-process Histology is the study of tissue sectioned as a thin slice, using a microscope. It can be described as microscopic anatomy. Histology is an essential tool of biology. To view the microscopic structure of the liver, one would need a microscope to observe it. Histology is the best method to do it. Microscopically examining liver tissue for signs of hepatitis-Histopathology is a field of pathology which specializes in the microscopic study of diseased tissue. It is an important tool of anatomical pathology and is used for accurate diagnosis of tumors and other diseases. Learning the blood vessels of a cadaver-Dissection is usually the process of disassembling and observing something to determine its internal structure and as an aid to discerning the function and relationships of its components. Performing a breast self-examination-Percussion is a method of tapping body parts with fingers, hands, or small instruments as part of a physical examination. It is done to determine: The size, consistency, and borders of body organs. The presence or absence of fluid in body areas. Breast self-examination involves touching one's breasts to feel for abnormal lumps.
