a&p level 2; blood
Blood consists of a matrix of plasma and cells; blood is a subtype of
connective tissue
The globulins are important plasma proteins that functions primarily in
immunity
Blood, a type of connective tissue, is composed of
matrix (plasma) and formed elements
The complex mixture of water, proteins, nutrients, electrolytes, wastes, hormones and gases is called
plasma
The most abundant type of molecule in blood plasma is
protein
An individual with type A blood is given type B blood. A transfusion reaction will occur between the ______.
recipients antibodies and the antigens of the donated blood
Plasma proteins are
the most abundant suspended substances
Blood type is determined by
the presence or absence of A and B antigens on the surface of RBCs
The type O blood type is considered the universal donor because
type O RBCs lack agglutinogens
An individual has blood type B-. Identify the antigens and antibodies present
-anti A antibodies -B antigens
Indicate the three primary types of plasma proteins
-fibrinogen -globulin -albumin
What is plasma?
The water, proteins, nutrients, wastes, hormones and gases in blood
Describe when anti-Rh antibodies are produced.
When an Rh-negative person is exposed to the Rh antigen
Blood is comprised of cells and cell fragments, together called "formed elements", suspended in a liquid matrix called
blood plasma
The transfer of blood or blood components from one individual to another is called
blood transfusion
Indicate which type of plasma protein has a role in immunity and the immune response
globulin
Name the erythrocyte-bound antigens used to determine the most common type of blood typing
A & B
If a person's blood sample agglutinates when mixed with anti-A antiserum, but not with anti-B antiserum, they have the blood type
A blood
What is fibrinogen?
A plasma protein that plays a role in clot formation
Describe what happens when an Rh-negative person is exposed to an Rh-antigen.
Anti-Rh antibodies are formed
Type O blood type
Both anti-A and anti-B antibodies
Type AB blood type
Neither anti-A or anti-B antibodies
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
If a person's blood sample does not agglutinate when mixed with anti-A antiserum or anti-B antiserum, they have the blood type
O
Which blood type is considered to be the universal donor?
O
The blood type ______ is the most common and type ______ is the least common
O AB
If a person's blood sample does not agglutinate when mixed with anti-A antiserum or anti-B antiserum, they have the blood type
O blood
Type B blood type
Only anti-A antibodies
Type A blood type
Only anti-B antibodies
An individual has the D antigen on the surface of his/her red blood cells. This individual is considered to be
Rh+
When an antibody binds to more than one antigen-bearing cell, the result is the clumping or
agglutination of cells
Maintaining plasma colloid osmotic pressure is primarily accomplished by the plasma protein called
albumin
Name the plasma protein that is important in regulating the movement of water between the tissues and the blood
albumin
The type of plasma protein that forms the threadlike proteins formed in blood clotting is
fibrinogen
