- Blood Types Are Determined by Cell-Surface Antigens Is it more important that transfused blood have antigens that will not react with the recipients antibodies, or antibodies that will not react with the recipients antigens?arrow_forwardApart from suffering from recurrent and prolonged infections, Marie Curie experienced the following signs and symptoms: fatigue, rapid heart rate, pale skin, easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts, and dizziness. Bone marrow transplant was not an option at that time and so blood transfusion was the treatment of choice. Assume her blood group was A negative. Which blood groups can she receive?

- You were given Type B whole blood following an automobile accident. Unfortunately you are Type A so you experienced a “major blood transfusion reaction”. Explain what happened.arrow_forwardIn terms of antigens and antibodies, explain why O- is considered a universal donor and why AB+ is considered a universal recipient. Even so, why can’t whole blood O- be donated to a person of type AB+ blood?arrow_forwardYou have a patient with prostate cancer. The cancer causes blood vessels to weaken and burst. The patient has a dangerously low Hematocrit and needs a blood transfusion. When you test his blood for type, here are the results: Anti-A- agglutination, Anti-B- agglutination, Anti-Rh- no reaction. 1. List all blood types he can receive. When you enthusiastically suggest that blood transfusions will help him, he protests that his religious beliefs disallow him from accepting transfusions. You will need to find a way to help his own body both retain the blood he has, and make new blood. 2. Based only on what we've learned so far re: blood and endocrine, come up with hypotheses about how you could do each. 3. Propose a mechanism of how EPO might work: what cells might it target, would it enter them, and what sorts of proteins might it activate? (This question references endocrine: how hormones work, and why it matters if they are water-soluble or fat-solube) 4. There is a drug called…arrow_forward

She is now complaining that her shoes are fitting too tightly, and she has developed poorly healing sores on her legs and ankles. A closer examination also shows distention in her varicose veins. Blood tests reveal a low level of proteins in the plasma. Based on the patient history and the signs and symptoms, identify the fluid imbalance the patient is experiencing, and state the rationale for your answer. (See Edema.) Discuss the four general causes of edema and how they apply in the case of this patient. (See Causes of Edema.) Discuss the swelling, sores, varicose vein distention, and other effects that edema can have on a patient. (See Effects of Edema.)arrow_forwardA man has type B blood and his wife has type A blood. They bring home a new baby from the hospital. On a visit to their doctor two weeks later they discover their baby has type O blood. How would you explain this?arrow_forward
- Why does the "rule of three" not applicable to non-normocytic and non-normochromic red blood cells?arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: Suppose your blood is AB positive. This means that (a) agglutinogens A and B are present on your red blood cells, (b) there are no anti-A or anti-B antodies in your plasma, c) your blood is Rh+ (d) all of the above.arrow_forwardApart from suffering from recurrent and prolonged infections, Marie Curie also experienced the following signs and symptoms: fatigue, rapid heart rate, pale skin, easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts, and dizziness. Bone marrow transplant was not an option at that time and so blood transfusion was the treatment of choice. Explain the reasoning behind these other signs and symptoms that Curie experienced.
