Hemolysis (or haemolysis in British English) is the breakdown of red blood cells. The ability of bacterial colonies to induce hemolysis when grown on blood agar is used to classify certain microorganisms. This is particularly useful in classifying streptococcal species.
The hemodialysis machine (hemo means blood) removes wastes from the blood stream and regulates the bodys fluid and chemical balances. A vascular access device connects the patients blood stream, or circulation, to the machine. Blood flows from the patient to the machine, is cleansed, and returned.
