Part B deals with quantitative experiments, wherein the discussion on estimation of components (chlorides, ammonia and glucose) in urine; sugar, urea, creatinine, uric acid, haemoglobin, Albumin/globulin ratio, calcium, inorganic phosphate, cholesterol, bilirubin, amylase, alkaline phosphatase and transaminase activity in blood serum is made. The book also gives out some more experiments (Part C), which may not be possible for the students to do by themselves. Few of the experiments will be demonstrated in the practical classes.
