Chapter 43, Problem 8IQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: Why the individuals with O blood group are called “universal donors”.
Introduction: Human blood is classified into four types based on the antigens present on the surface of the blood cell. The four types or groups are A, B, AB, and O. It is generally called ABO blood grouping. Blood transfusion should be done by testing the blood groups. Incompatible blood transfusions bring severe complications.

list all of the blood types to which the following people could donate assuming the recipients have been exposed to Rh antigens:
Donor 1 :type A
Donor 2:type O+
Donor3:type AB+
Donor 4: type B-
What will happen if an Rh-negative person receives a transfusion of Rh-positive blood?
If a patient will receive a blood transfusion that is not matched to the patient’s blood type, what will happen? Explain briefly.

- 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_forwardWhy might erythroblastosis fetalis occur when an Rh- mother becomes pregnant with a second Rh+ baby (after exposure to the previous Rh+ baby's blood)? A) Erythroblastosis fetalis can only occur when an Rh+ mother becomes pregnant with an Rh- baby. B) After primary exposure, if the Rh- mother has an Rh+ baby, then antibodies the mom produces can cross the placenta and attack the baby's blood. C) The Rh- mother always produces antibodies to the Rh+ blood, so erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition that can happen to any Rh+ baby (first or subsequent).arrow_forwardWhat specific adverse effect is a sickle cell patient at risk for due to blood transfusions, in addition to the typical transfusion reactions?

- Apart 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. Assume her blood group was A negative. Which blood groups can she receive? Which blood groups can she not receive?

- Before a recipient is given blood transfusion, the medical team must first learn the patient's blood type and then find a suitable , or "matching", donor. This is necessary because of the A, B, and Rh antigens on the surface of the donor erythrocytes and the presence of preformed antibodies in the recipient's blood.
