1 • Before you read the passage, talk about these questions

1. What that is the purpose of blood donation?

2. What different blood types are there?


Silverton Community Blood Bank
Donor Introduction

Donor Name: Ann Lee Blood Type: O –

Dear Donor

Thanks for given blood. Your blood may save the life of some one in need.

At SCBB, we provide blood for transfusions to needy recipients. Not everyone can receive every
type of blood. Each person´s red blood cells carry different antibodies. We are always looking for
donors with Type O, since everyone´s blood is compatible with type O. If you are one of these
universal donors, we encourage you to donate blood frequently. Recipients with are types like Type
B and Type AB are especially in need of your help. Of course we also accept Type A since plenty of
people can use that type, too.

Our on-site labs analyze each sample of plasma to ensure we´re providing safe blood. We know
that giving recipients the wrong type can cause blood clots. While some clotting is necessary to
form platelets clotting within blood vessels can be very dangerous. We also screen all donors for
infectious diseases like Hepatitis and HIV.

Bones
Bones
1 • Before you read the passage, talk about these questions

1. Why are bones important for overall health?

2. What are some different types of fractures?


Broken Bones
Bone health is vital to a body´s general wellbeing. The skeleton provides the
body´s basic framework, while bone marrow is an important part of the immune
system. Damaged bones must be treated carefully to avoid improper healing.
This guide will help you identify fractures so you can treat them accordingly.
Stress fractures require fairly straightforward treatment. The bone is typically
cracked rather than broken all the way through. This means no repositioning is
necessary before the bone heals.
Displaced fractures, on the other hand, are tricky. They require that the bone be
reset before it can heal. Compound fractures and impacted fractures, for
example, require extensive repositioning so the bone heals in the right place.
Comminuted fractures are specially complicated because the bone is split into
several pieces.
If you work with children, you will likely encounter greenstick fractures. These
common occur when young, soft bones are bent.
2 Reading
Read the poster on bone fractures chart. Then, mark the
following statements as True (T) or False (F).

1. ……. Bone marrow is necessary to help heal fractures


2. ……. Stress fractures are easier to treat than other
fractures.
3. ……. Some fractures require repositioning the bone
after it heals.

Skin
1 • Before you read the passage,
talk about these questions

1. What are the layers of the


skin?

2. What are some common


skin conditions?
Dr. Karen Sturgis, Dermatologist
Common Skin Conditions
Skin is the outer covering of the human body. It is made up of three layers. The
top layer is the epidermis. The dermis lies beneath the epidermis. The deepest
layer is the hypodermis. This layer stores subcutaneous fat.
Abnormal skin conditions can occur when the skin is damaged. Or they can be
caused by factors inside the body. Here are a few common skin conditions.
External causes
Contusion. A contusion is a discolored area of the skin caused by trauma. The
discoloration occurs when blood escapes from damaged capillaries into the skin.
Abrasion. An abrasion is damage to the epidermis of the skin. Since these
scrapes do not usually cut into the dermis, most abrasions do not bleed.
Internal causes
Acne. Acne is a common skin disease. It is caused by oils that trap skin in pores.
Bacteria then grows. This results in raised bumps called pimples or other
imperfections of the skin.
2 Reading
Read the dermatologist´s web page on skin conditions. Then, choose
the correct answers
1. What is the purpose of the web page?
A. to advertise new acne treatments
B. to describe the parts and common conditions of the skin
C. to provide basic skin care information

A. a contusion C. an abrasion
B. a scrape D. acne

3. What is true of the hypodermis?


A. it is damaged by abrasions.
B. it holds subcutaneous fat
C. it is the outermost layer of the skin
D. it lies between the dermis and the epidermis
3 Vocabulary

1. ___contusion A. the soft outer covering of the human body

2. ___pore B. a discolored area of skin caused by


external trauma

4. ___skin D. a scrape on the epidermis of the skin

produces sweat
