The other factor in categorizing the blood groups is the presence of Rh factor. Rh Factor or Rhesus factor is the inherited protein present on the surface of red blood cells.

What would happen if patient 4 (O+) donated plasma to patient 1 (A+)? Select one: a. You cannot donate only plasma.  b. The anti-A antibodies in the plasma of patient 4 would agglutinate with the antigens on the RBC of patient 1. c. It would be a safe donation because no agglutination would occur. d. The anti-A antibodies in the plasma of patient 1 would agglutinate with the antigens on the RBC of patient 4.
You 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…
Which of the following statements is true?   A. Some individuals are born with Rh antibodies. B. A person could acquire Rh antigens from a blood transfusion. C. A pregnant female could give her developing baby Rh antibodies D. A pregnant female could acquire Rh antibodies.
