Directions: Choose the one best answer to each item. Items 1 to 5 refer to the following information. In the 1800s blood transfusions were practiced; blood was transferred from one person to another. Sometimes the transfusions were miraculously successful, while at other times persons experienced pain, tingling sensations, and often death. In 1901 a scientific basis was recognized for successful transfusion of blood. It was realized that blood had to be divided into groups, and only certain types could be transfused successfully to a given individual. If an incompatible blood type is transfused into a person, the blood cells will clump together in a reaction called agglutination. Agglutination is due to a reaction between antigens and antibodies in the blood. An antigen refers to any substance that produces an immune response; usually the body reacts by producing antibodies. The antibodies fight off the antigens, which are considered invading substances. The best-known system of…
