Question
Chapter 30, Problem 4WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Which blood type is considered to “universal donor” and which is called the “universal recipient”. Refer to figure 30.4.
Concept introduction:
The ABO blood grouping in RBCs is based on the presence or absence of surface antigen. Antigens are the chemicals that induce the immune response while antibodies are proteins also called immunoglobins is produced by B-cells of immune system in response to antigens.

This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in a plane’s cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a cloth will form.arrow_forwardA patient is rushed to the emergency room and has suffered severe blood loss.
