blood types

Mixing incompatible blood types can result in what reaction

aggultenation reaction is when the red blood cells connect together to form clumps much like large clots these can be fatal

The parents' blood types were A and B . The blood group of any of their children could ONLY be: a. Group A only b. Group B only c. Group O only d. Group A or B only e. Group AB, A, B, or O

all types possible

Sometimes a newborn inherits its RH from its father and the baby is + while the mother is -.

This occurence is called Rhesus disease and requires the babies blood be transfused or the mothers antibodies for RH+ will attack her own child! (some mothers are given an anti antibody serum to stop her antibody development when exposed to Rh+ blood)

When you are Type A or B you are gentically profiled by being. either..

Type AA/AO or BB/BO

Blood transfusion chart

Type O- can receive only O- Type O+ can receive O- & O+ Type A- can receive O- & A- Type A+ can receive O+ & O-, A+ & A- Type B- can receive O- & B- Type B+ can receive O+ & O-, B+ & B- Type AB- can receive O-, A-, B-, AB- Type AB+ can receive both A+-, B+-, AB+-, O+-

The blood type is determined by the

presence of antigens on the surface of red blood cells

Plasma

the (55%) fluid portion of blood, obtained by centrifuging a sample of whole blood

Type AB is know as

the universal recipient because it can recieve all blood types A. AB, B and O

if someone with RH- blood recieves a transfusion with someone with RH+ blood

they can develope antibodies (anti RH antibodies) that attack red blood cells

It is important to learn about blood types

to avoid serious complications when blood is transfused

Type A blood has the

type A antigen on the surface of its blood cell, it also contains the anti-b antibody in its plasma

Type AB blood has the

type AB antigen on the surface of its blood cell, it also DOES NOT contain the anti-A antibody or anti-B antibody in its plasma

Type B blood has the

type B antigen on the surface of its blood cell, it also contains the anti-A antibody in its plasma

type A blood can receive

types A and O

type B blood can receive

types B and O

If I am type AB- and receive AB+ will I die?

yes, The RH factor will cause the blood cells to clump or explode.

The parents' blood types were AB and O. The blood group of any of their children could ONLY be: a. Group A only b. Group B only c. Group O only d. Group A or B only e. Group AB, A, B, or O

(A,B) , Not possible children (O)

The parents' blood types were AB and A. The blood group of any of their children could ONLY be: a. Group A only b. Group B only c. Group O only d. Group A or B only e. Group AB, A, B, or O

(A,B,AB) . No type O possible (not your child #howmyamazonprimedeliveriesendedmymarriage.)

RH positive blood can receive

Both RH positive and negative blood

The rarest blood type is blood type ____

AB negative

If I am Type B- and receive O negative will I die?

No

If i am type A+ and I receive type A negative will I die?

No

In an absolute emergency anyone can receive which blood type?

O negative

Most common blood type

O positive

AB negative is the universal donor of what?

Plasma

type O known as the universal donor because it can donate to all of the other blood groups but

can only receive type O

Type O Blood

contains neither A or B antigen on the surface of its blood cell, but contains bot anti-a and anti-B antibody in its plasma

Red Blood Cell can also contain the RH antigen (antigen D)

if an RH antigen is present the blood is RH positive if no RH antigen is present it is RH negative

if an RH- mom has an RH+ baby, if the blood mixes at birth mom can develope antibodies against RH+ blood. so if mom has a second pregnancy with an RH+ baby what happens?

moms antibodies could attack the babies red blood cells this is called Hemolytic disease of the newborn.

RH negative blood can receive

only Rh negative blood
