Because that is where all of the venous blood runs through just before it enters the lungs and becomes re-oxygenated. So it is the most mixed up venous blood in the body.

What does a mixed venous blood gas sample drawn from pulmonary artery of 35 indicate?

It depends if the 35 is oxygen 35 mmHg or 35% oxygen saturation. Most likely you mean 35 mmgHg, correlating to a oxygen saturation about 65%, which is around normal. This blood has the lowest oxygen content in the body system. A 35% saturation though is clearly abnormal most likely indicates the body is not getting adequate oxygen.

How is Detection of the abnormal protein rheumatoid factor in the serum found?

There are two ways of measuring Rheumatoid factor in bloodThe Agglutination tests. In this test blood is mixed with minute latex beads that have been covered with human antibodies. If there is RF, the beads clump together or agglutinate. Another agglutination test uses sheep's blood that has had its red blood cells covered with rabbit's antibodies, then mixes the blood being tested with it . If there is RF in the blood sample, the red blood cells clump together. This method is often used to confirm the presence of RF.The Nephelometry test. In this test a blood sample is mixed with antibodies cause the blood to clump if RF is present. A light beam from a laser is directed through the sample containing the mixture and the amount of light blocked by the blood sample is measured. The more clumping that occurs, the cloudier the sample and less light to pass through the tube.

What is does IV mean?

In Roman numerals, it is the number 4. In medical terms, it means intra-venous- something that is put into a vein of the body. Perhaps the most common application for this is administering fluids intravenously. A bag or bottle of fluid is connected to a needle by a tube, and the needle inserted into a vein. Fluid then drips and goes into the vein. Can be used to give fluids to someone that cannot drink, or to administer medicines mixed in the IV fluid.
