Q

When the ‘ENDOTHELIAL LINING’ of a vessel is exposed to ‘COLLAGEN PROTEINS’, a process of 3 separate but overlapping mechanisms occurs. What are they?

Q

What would be the result of the following situation during a pregnancy:

MOTHER = 'Rh -'
FATHER = 'Rh +'
BABY = 'Rh +'
A

‘ANTIBODIES’ ARE CREATED

‘ERYTHROBLASTOSIS FETALIS’ WILL OCCUR ON NEXT (Rh +) PREGNANCY UNLESS MOTHER IS GIVEN A ‘RHOGAM SHOT’ WHICH WILL INDUCE ‘PASSIVE (SHORT TERM) IMMUNITY’ TO ‘Rh + ANTIGENS’.

Q

What would be the result of the following situation during a pregnancy:

MOTHER = 'Rh -'
FATHER = 'Rh +'

A

NO ‘ANTIBODIES’ CREATED

123
Q

What does a woman who is ‘Rh -‘ need to be injected with after giving birth to a ‘Rh +’ baby?

Why?

A

‘RHOGAM SHOT’

THIS CREATES ‘PASSIVE IMMUNITY’ WHICH IS SHORT TERM. IF NOT, MOTHER WILL CREATE ‘ANTIBODIES’ AGAINST ‘Rh + FACTOR’ CAUSING ALL FUTURE PREGNANCIES WITH ‘Rh + TYPE BLOOD’ TO GO THROUGH ‘ERYTHROBLASTOSIS FETALIS’
