A, B, AB
Maxwell has lost a lot of blood and needs a transfusion. Doctors at the hospital have identified that he has A- blood type, which means he has B and Rh antibodies in his plasma. Which blood types can he safely receive?

Trey has Type A- blood. Identify the blood types that are compatible with his.
A- & O-
Which blood type has two different antigens on the surface of red blood cells?
AB
What type of blood is the universal recipient?
AB (more specifically AB+)
Mr. Green ______ Anti-A serum: agglutination. Anti-B serum: agglutination. Anti-Rh serum: agglutination.
AB+
If a person has Type A blood, what type of blood would the immune system attack?
B & AB
If a person's blood has the A antigen, what type of blood would the immune system attack?
B & AB
Which blood type would have no Rh antigens, but only have B antigens on the surface of red blood cells?
B-
What does agglutination mean?
Clumping or clotting
Bob cannot give blood to Shauna. Shauna has Type B blood. What type of blood must Bob have?
A
Maria (Type B+) and Jacob (Type B-) are sister and brother. C. What antibodies are found inside Maria's plasma?
A
Which blood type has the A antigens on the surface of red blood cells?
A & AB
What ANTIGENS would exist on red blood cells (erythrocytes) if a person were Type AB- blood?
A & B
Maria (Type B+) and Jacob (Type B-) are sister and brother. D. What antibodies are found inside Jacob's plasma?
A & Rh
Which situations would be beneficial for the recipient? Circle all that would be beneficial.
A Type A+ person receives a transfusion from a Type O+ person.
Bob can give blood to Susie. Susie has an A antigen. What blood types could Bob have?
A or O
Mr. Smith ______ Anti-A serum: agglutination. Anti-B serum: no agglutination. Anti-Rh serum: agglutination.
A+
Which blood type would only have Rh and A antigens on the surface of red blood cells?
A+
Jason is rushed to the hospital after losing blood from a work-related accident. Because he was wearing a medical bracelet, the hospital staff knows that he has AB- blood type. Answer the following questions. - Circle the antigens found on his blood cells.
A, B
What ABO antigens are present in Mr. Green's blood (He has AB+ blood)?
A, B, Rh
Jason is rushed to the hospital after losing blood from a work-related accident. Because he was wearing a medical bracelet, the hospital staff knows that he has AB- blood type. Answer the following questions. - Circle the types of blood that Jason can receive.
A-, B-, AB-, O-
If Ms. Brown were serving as a donor, what blood type(s) could receive her blood safely (She has O- Blood)? Be sure to identify these as + or - in reference to the Rh factor.
ALL BLOOD TYPES
Ms. Brown is pregnant with her second child. Her first child was Rh+ and was born healthy. Why would a doctor have greater concern for this child?
After the first birth of the 1st child, the mother's Rh antibodies may have increased and could harm the second child.
Erin has Type AB- blood. If she received a transfusion of Type B+, predict and explain what would happen.
Agglutination/ clotting, this is bad. Erin has anti-Rh antibodies, so if she receives type B positive blood her anti-Rh antibody will bind with the Rh antigen and cause agglutination.
The Y-shaped proteins that bind to protein markers on the surface of cells are:
Antibodies
What is the difference between antigen and antibody?
Antigen - the protein found on the cell membrane. Antibody - a free-floating protein that will attach to the antigen if it is present.
Maria (Type B+) and Jacob (Type B-) are sister and brother. B. What antigens are found on Jacob's blood cells?
B
Which of the following rows shows the correct antigens for Patient 1 (type AB blood) and Patient 2 (type A blood), respectively? *See chart on study guide*
B
Maria (Type B+) and Jacob (Type B-) are sister and brother. A. What antigens are found on Maria's blood cells?
B & RH
Mr. Jones ______ Anti-A serum: no agglutination. Anti-B serum: agglutination. Anti-Rh serum: no agglutination.
B-
Define donor and recipient.
Donor - the patient giving blood. Recipient - the patient receiving blood.
True or False. A person with blood type AB is considered to be a universal donor.
False (AB+ is considered a universal RECIPIENT)
Why is it necessary to match the donor's and the recipient's blood before a transfusion is given?
If a recipient was given blood they were not compatible with it could cause agglutination and death.
Maria (Type B+) and Jacob (Type B-) are sister and brother. E. Can Jacob receive Maria's blood in the event of an emergency? Explain.
No, because agglutination will occur.
You hear that your friend has been in a car accident and needs a blood transfusion; you want to donate blood. Your friend has type A- blood and you have O+ blood. Can your blood be given to your friend? Explain the reason for your answer.
No, because he must have O- (universal donor) blood or A-.
If a person's blood has the A and B antigen, what type of blood would the immune system attack?
None
What ABO antibodies are present in the plasma of Mr. Green's blood (He has AB+ blood)?
None
Ms. Brown ______ Anti-A serum: no agglutination. Anti-B serum: no agglutination. Anti-Rh serum: no agglutination.
O-
Jason is rushed to the hospital after losing blood from a work-related accident. Because he was wearing a medical bracelet, the hospital staff knows that he has AB- blood type. Answer the following questions. - Circle the antibodies that can be found in his plasma.
Rh
What ANTIBODIES would exist on red blood cells (erythrocytes) if a person were Type AB- blood?
Rh
True or False. Agglutination is a form of blood clotting in the body.
True
True or False. An individual who has no antigens attached to his RBCS is referred to as blood Type O.
True
True or False. Type O blood is considered to be a universal donor.
True
What type of blood is the universal donor?
Type O (more specifically O-)
Maria (Type B+) and Jacob (Type B-) are sister and brother. F. Can Maria receive Jacob's blood in the event of an emergency? Explain.
Yes.
