Summary Introduction
To tell:
The reason that army corporal with AB blood can receive blood from sergeant with O group, but cannot donate blood to sergeant with O group.
Introduction:
Each person has different blood types when compared with others. The blood grouping is based on the ABO test. The people carry any one type of antigen in their red blood cell. The people with A antigen are grouped under A, and person with B antigen are placed under B. The persons with no antigen are placed under O group.

A patient is rushed to the emergency room and has suffered severe blood loss. Type AB blood is in short supply, but the nurse says “Don’t worry, he’s type AB positive. We can give him any kind of blood.” Explain. (Why is type AB called the universal recipient?)
I have a patient who is blood type B- and has received a blood donation from a blood type B- donor. Will the patient's immune system accept the red blood cells from the donor as "self" cells and allow the cells to live? Will the patient's immune system accept the white blood cells (B cells, T cells, etc) from the donor as "self" cells and allow the cells to live?
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.

- On the battlefield, a medic is treating a soldier who has lost a great deal of blood. They are out of blood typing supplies so the medic, who is Type O negative, simply donates his own blood to the patient. Why could this work? (Why is Type O called the universal donor?)arrow_forwardPeople with type O blood can donate blood to anyone, but they cannot receive blood from everyone. From whom can they not receive blood? People with type AB blood can receive blood from anyone, but they cannot give blood to everyone. To whom can they give blood? Why?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
- In 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_forwardA woman has O-negative blood. The following is a list of her children and their blood types. If she was not given RhoGAM, which child would be at risk for erythroblastosis fetalis? Baby 1: O- Baby 2: A- Baby 3: A+ Baby 4: O+ Baby 5: A-arrow_forwardXena eventually catches Callisto (remember, she is 25 years old). Salmoneus, who is 60 years old, agrees to deliver Callisto to face charges for war crimes. On the way, their cart crashes down a ravine. Salmoneus has lost a lot of blood. Xena inserts a tube that allows her to transfer her blood to him. Xena is A positive and Salmoneus is O positive. Discuss if this transfusion is expected to be successful and justify your answer. Describe the expected consequences of this transfusion attempt on Salmoneus’s red blood cells.arrow_forward
- What is the correct answerarrow_forwardWhy can someone with blood type AB receive blood of any type? Why can an individual with blood type O donate blood to anyone?arrow_forwardYour patient, Sally Sue who has AB- blood, receives blood from her older sister (Ruby, who’s AB+). Afterwards, she has a cytotoxic reaction. Which of the following was the initial cause of the reaction? Sally Sue’s blood type was actually AB+ Sally Sue had previously received AB+ blood Ruby’s blood type was actually AB- Sally Sue had previously received A- blood Sally Sue had previously received B- bloodarrow_forward
- Apart 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? Which blood groups can she not receive? Explain why. Thank youarrow_forwardA person with an antigen on the red blood cell and a different antigen in the blood plasma could be either blood type A or blood type B. True or false ?arrow_forwardAB negative blood can be and can not be donated to which blood groups? Explain with reason.arrow_forward
