The plasma of a person with A blood type contains anti- _______ antibodies while a person with type B blood type contains anti- _____ antibodies.
B A

Indicate which type of plasma protein has a role in immunity and the immune response.

An adult patient is brought into the emergency room of a local hospital. The EMTs report the patient lost about 300 cc (cubic centimeters or milliliters) of blood. Is this life-threatening?
No, most adults have 4-6 liters of blood so a loss of 300 cc would not be life threatening.

An individual has blood type O+. Identify the antigens and antibodies present.
Rh antigen Anti-B antibody Anti-A antibody
What is plasma?
The water, proteins, nutrients, wastes, hormones and gases in blood
True or false: A transfusion reaction occurs when a patient is given an incompatible blood type.
True
True or false: The ABO blood type O-positive is the most common human blood type in the United States.
True
True or false: Type O is the universal donor because type O RBCs lack agglutinogens.
True
Which blood type is considered to be the universal donor?
Type O
Describe when anti-Rh antibodies are produced.
When an Rh-negative person is exposed to the Rh antigen

immunity
Blood, a type of connective tissue, is composed of ______.
matrix (plasma) and formed elements
