INTRODUCTION TO MEDICAL LABORATORY



Medical laboratory science is made up of much field area that that responsible to carry out different type of medical investigation, the major disciplinary filed and department that make up medical laboratory include;
1.      Clinical medical chemistry: this field of medical laboratory is charge with the responsibility of carrying out investigation of chemical substance in our body system.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY LABORATORY
2.      Hematology: this field of medical laboratory is charge with the responsibility of carrying out investigation of blood and blood component in our body system
HEMATOLOGY LABORATOY
3.      Histopathology: chemistry: this field of medical laboratory is charge with the responsibility of carrying out investigation of tissue cell substance in our body system
HISTOLOGY LABORATORY 
4.      Medical microbiology: this field of medical laboratory is charge with the responsibility of carrying out investigation of micro organism that invade out body system 
MICROBIOLOGY LABORATORY
The major important of medical laboratory is specifically base on diagnosing and treating disease, either by carrying quality or quantitative test for examination of sample collected from human system.
Medical laboratory play a very important role for qualitative heath care delivery which is as follow;
1.      Confirming provisional diagnosis of the clinician
2.      Detecting disease
3.      Ruling out diagnosis
4.      Regulating therapy
5.      Issuing out result
6.      And sometime interpret the result the patient
In recent time, do the major demand for laboratory investigation has projected the introduction of more sophisticated and automated mode of diagnosis and computerization. As a result of the demand, laboratory scientist of today is far promoted from lab boy, or technicians of yesteryears. Laboratory scientist of today must, of necessary be sound both theoretical and practical in the field of his/her chosen carrier in the medical laboratory in other to meet the demand by the patient.
