Bill wants to determine his blood type, so he takes a few drops of blood from a puncture wound in his finger and mixes it with various antisera. His blood cells agglutinate when mixed with the anti-A sera but not with the anti-B or anti-D sera. Which of the following is not true?

Connective tissue

The ________ is a procedure that is used to determine the number of each of the various types of white blood cells.

Differential cell count

Most of the iron removed from degraded hemoglobin is excreted by the kidneys.
