Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 39CTQ
In preparation for a scheduled surgery, a patient visits the hospital lab for a blood draw. The technician collects a blood sample and performs a test to determine its type. She places a sample of the patient’s blood in two wells. To the first well she adds anti-A antibody. To the second she adds anti-B antibody. Both samples visibly agglutinate. Has the technician made an error, or is this a normal response? If normal, what blood type does this indicate?

- 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?)arrow_forwardWhich type of antigens are present in an individual with blood type A? A B anti-A O anti-Barrow_forwardWhat is the correct answerarrow_forward
- Draw the antigens on the red blood cell below for someone who is A+. Draw the antibodies for this person in the surrounding plasma. What type of blood can this person receive and why?arrow_forwardA patient enters the emergency room hemorrhaging from a gunshot wound. A blood transfusion is necessary. Blood typing is done on the patient. The patient's blood agglutinates when mixed with antibody B and antibody Rh. What is the patient's blood type? Which type of blood can the patient receive? a-The patient's blood type is A+ and can receive either O+ or A+ blood. Rh-negative blood could be given in a transfusion, but it is usually reserved for individuals who are Rh negative. b-The patient's blood type is A- and can receive either O+ or B+ blood. Rh-negative blood could be given in a transfusion, but it is usually reserved for individuals who are Rh negative. c-The patient's blood type is B+ and can receive either O+ or B+ blood. Rh-negative blood could be given in a transfusion, but it is usually reserved for individuals who are Rh negative. d-The patient's blood type is B- and can receive either O- or B- blood.arrow_forwardYou mix a few drops of a patient's blood with ABO and Rh typing serums (antibodies against A, B, & Rh erythrocyte antigens), with these results: Anti-A no agglutination; Anti-B no agglutination; Anti-Rh agglutination. What is the patient's ABO blood group and Rh type? O positive AB negative A negative O negative AB positivearrow_forward
- Can you please help me with this chart and explain what serum antibodies are?arrow_forwardIf you are transfusing blood to a hypothetical patient, is it more important that the transfused blood have antigens that will not react with the recipient’s antibodies or antibodies that will not react with the recipient’s antigens? Pick one and briefly explain why.arrow_forwardMatch the blood type (antigen) to the corresponding antibodies that are produced for the type:arrow_forward
- 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…arrow_forwardWhich type of antibodies are naturally present in an individual with blood type O+? (select all that apply) O anti-A antibodies no antibodies are naturally present anti-Rh antibodies anti-B antibodiesarrow_forwardChoose all the correct statments. A person with type AB blood can receive a transfusion form a type O individual. A person with type O blood can receive a transfusion from a type AB individual. A person with only the A antigen on the surface of red blood cells is type A. They also have anti B antibodies in their plasma. A person with antigens A and B on the surface of their red blood cells is type AB and have no antibodies in their plasma. A person with the Rh factor is Rh+. A person who is type O has the O antigen on the surface of their red blood cells, and have anti A antibodies in their plasma.arrow_forward
