BIOL 163 Blood Typing Part of Exam 5 (Final Exam)

Who is the universal recipient

(AB+) because there are no antibodies to bind to the donors antigens!

Who is the universal donor and why?

(O-) because there are no antigens present to bind to the donors antibodies!

How many different blood types are there with A, B, O and RH antigens?

8

Select the antigens that would exist on red blood cells if a person was blood type AB-.

A B

Which blood types would have only Rh and B antibodies flowing through their plasma?

A-

People with which blood type(s) would have no Rh antigens, but B antibodies in their plasma? hint: more than 1

A- O-

Plasma contains antibodies for the antigen (absent/present) on RBC

ABSENT

If there is a match between donor and recipient antibodies to antigens, what happens?

Agglutination Clumping no bueno!

Select the antibodies that exist in the plasma of a person with blood type AB-

Anti Rh

What antigens are present on the blood cells of a person with B blood type?

B

Which blood type would only have Rh and B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells?

B+

The "Anti-" in antibodies refers to the fact that the antibodies will (cause/inhibit) an immune response directed (toward/away) that antigen.

CAUSE TOWARDS

What does it mean if u see agglutination?

If you see agglutination that means donors ANTIGENS are binding to the antibodies the recipient has!

What type of blood can a person with B blood type safely receive in a blood transfusion.

O B

Which blood type is considered the universal donor?

O-

Peter lost a lot of blood and needs a blood transfusion. A test reveals that he is blood type A-, and your colleague tells you that he needs 2 packs of red blood cells. You run to the cooler where all the blood for transfusions is being stored. Which two packs of red blood cells would you grab? Which blood types can Peter receive safely?

O- A-

Paul who has blood type O could receive from....

Only an O donor (think about it.... donor only gives antigens, but Paul's O has all of the antibodies so A, B, and AB antigens would attach to his antibodies so only O who has no antigens will work!)

When a person donates blood, they only donate ______________. Not ____________!

RBCs not plasma

Which of the following antibodies will be produced by a person that has B blood type?

anti- A antibodies

Rhesus negative blood (-) carries (antigens/antibodies) for Rhesus factor

antibodies

The recipients blood consists of RBC and plasma which carries _______________________ to the antigens, which are (present/absent) on the recipients RBC!

antibodies absent

Do antigens or antibodies describe blood type?

antigens

Rhesus positive blood (+) carries (antigens/antibodies) for Rhesus factor

antigens

Who is on the surface of the RBC?

antigens! no antibodies!

Where are antibodies found in?

blood plasma

What is agglutination? Do we want this or do we avoid this?

clumping of red blood cells, antigens and matching antibodies match together and clump! AVOID!!!!!!!!

Antibodies are proteins that detect _____________ particles and ________ them.

foreign eliminate

What is the term to describe antigens?

glycolipids

Which of the following type of molecules are the A and B antigens?

glycolipids
