The straw is merely being used to keep from contaminating the specimen. It is placed in the tube to then place it in the centrifuge. It is then spun to achieve a concentrated specimen at the bottom of the tube for microscopic examination. This is normal for almost all laboratory tested urinalysis test.

What is an example of stimulus and Response?

when we touch a hot object we immediately (even without thinking) withdraw our hand. touching the hot object is the stimulus and withdrawing our hand is the response


How much gas can a gas syringe collect?

A gas syringe is used to measure and dispense liquids or insert and withdraw a volume of gas. These syringes vary in sizes and can collect from 500 ml to 0.25 ml of gas.


What does retract means in the science way?

General: To pull back inside (for example, an airplane retracting its wheels while flying); To take back or withdraw something one has said Mathematics: 1. In category theory, a branch of mathematics, a section is a right inverse of a morphism. Dually, a retraction is a left inverse. In other words, if and are morphisms whose composition is the identity morphism on Y, then g is a section of f, and f is a retraction of g. 2. In mathematics, in the field of group theory, a subgroup of a group is termed a retract if there is an endomorphism of the group that maps surjectively to the subgroup and is identity on the subgroup. In symbols, is a retract of if and only if there is an endomorphism such that for all and for all Topology: In topology, a retraction, as the name suggests, "retracts" an entire space into a subspace. A deformation retraction is a map which captures the idea of continuously shrinking a space into a subspace


How are cells cloned?

1Eggs are coaxed to mature in a culture dish. Each has a remnant egg cell called the polar body and cumulus cells from the ovary clinging to it. 2While an egg is held still with a pipette, a needle is used to drill through the zona pellucida, removing a plug. 3After ejecting the zona plug, the needle is inserted back in the egg through the hole to withdraw and discard the polar body and the egg's genetic material. 4A cumulus cell from another egg is taken up into the needle. Cells called fibroblasts (or their nuclei) can also be used in this step. 5The cumulus cell is injected deep into the egg that has been stripped of its genetic material. 6The injected egg is exposed to a mixture of chemicals and growth factors designed to activate it to divide. 7After roughly 24 hours, the activated egg begins dividing. The cells contain genetic material only from the injected cumulus cell. 8By the fourth or fifth day, a hollow ball of roughly 100 cells has formed. It holds a clump of cells called the inner cell mass that contains stem cells. 9The blastocyst is broken open, and the inner cell mass is grown in a culture dish to yield stem cells. 10The stem cells, in turn, can be coaxed to grow into a variety of cells that might one day be injected into patients.
