Sampling of biological material in the context of development..

This thesis is titled Biological Material Collection in the Development Context. The bachelor thesis is divided to several parts. Blood, important representatives, access to the bloodstream, tools, blood drawing, the present collection systems and last but not least the collection rooms. In the first part of the thesis we dealt with the blood itself. With what the blood actually is. The next part is dedicated to the important representatives. Here we can learn about Galen, the doctor of gladiators, or William Harvey, the discoverer of the blood circulation. Cristannus de Prachaticzis another important representative in this chapter, but also Jan Janský, the "inventor" of the blood groups. The third part deals with the access to the bloodstream. In this part we can read what bloodletting is and how it is performed (e.g. by application of flasks or leeches). Tools used for blood drawing are dealt with in the next part. Injection syringes, injection needles, vessels for blood drawing, bandage materials, gloves, tourniquets and also glucometers are mentioned here. Each of the tools is described from the oldest written reference up to the present. The fifth part deals with blood drawing. Here you can learn about the necessary preparations contained in test tubes and about the history as well as the present situation of collection of capillary as well as venous blood. The present collection systems form another no less important part of this bachelor thesis. Here we learn how the BD Vacutainer and the Sarstedt system operate. There are also obvious differences between the above systems (not only in the colour of the tubes, but also in the application itself). The last part deals with collection rooms. It explains what collection rooms looked like in the past (from the first written reference) and how they gradually changed, not only in terms of the equipment, up to the present
