Why do you think Mrs. Gonzalez was prescribed heparin, an anticoagulant?

to inhibit the formation of clots

The average functional lifespan of an RBC is

100-120 days

Blood normally clots in approximately

3 to 6 minutes

Normal blood pH falls in a range between ________ to ________.

7.35; 7.45

The blood type that contains both antigens A and B is

AB

Which blood type is referred to as the "universal recipient" since it can receive blood types A, B, AB, and O?

AB

Molly has blood type A and her daughter has blood type B. Why can't Molly donate blood to her daughter?

Blood type B contains anti-A antibodies, which will agglutinate with type A blood.

Blood type A can receive a transfusion from blood types A and AB during a transfusion.

FALSE

Polycythemia arises from an excess or abnormal increase in the number of white blood cells.

FALSE

The immune serum used to prevent maternal sensitization to Rh antigens is ________.

RhoGAM

Both platelets and erythrocytes are anucleate.

TRUE

Which of these indicates leukocytosis?

WBC count higher than 11,000 cells/mm3

Rh antigens are separate from ABO antigens and were originally discovered in Rhesus monkeys. Select all correct statements about Rh antigen.

Anti-Rh antibodies are not automatically made, unlike the antibodies in ABO blood groups; An Rh- mom carrying her second Rh+ fetus is at risk for hemolytic disease of the newborn.

Donor and recipient blood types are A positive. Mixing recipient serum with donor RBCs caused agglutination. No agglutination occurred when donor serum was mixed with recipient RBCs. Is the blood safe for transfusion?

No, antibodies in the recipient's plasma are interacting with some unidentified antigen on the donor RBCs.

A decrease in the oxygen-carrying ability of the blood, for any reason, is a condition known as

anemia

Substances that the body recognizes as foreign are called

antigens

Which ions are essential for blood clotting to occur?

calcium

Which of these is a plasma electrolyte?

chloride

diapedesis

Which formed element is the most abundant in blood?

erythrocyte

What hormone controls the rate of erythrocyte production?

erythropoietin

What long, hairlike molecules form the basis of a clot during coagulation?

fibrin

What does treatment of hemophilia often involve?

transfusion of plasma or injections of missing clotting factor

What blood type has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in their plasma?

type O

What blood type can a person with O negative blood receive in a transfusion?
