Blood Types, Donors, And Recipients Flashcards
Blood Type B
Antigen on RBC - B
Antigen on Plasma - anti-A antibodies
Donate to - B or AB
Receive From - B or O
Blood Type AB
(Universal recipient) Antigen on RBC - A and B Antigen on Plasma - none Donate to - AB ONLY Receive From - A, B, AB, O
Blood Type O
(Universal donor) Antigen on RBC - none Antigen on Plasma - anti-A and anti-B antibodies Donate to -A, B, AB, O Receive From - O
Blood Type A
Antigen on RBC - A
Antigen on Plasma - anti-B antibodies
Donate to - A or AB
Receive From - A or O
Blood Types
A, B, AB, O
based on the presence or absence of A or B antigens.
Markers
Antigens that determine which blood type a person is; stimulate production of antibodies.
Transfusion
Blood, Plasma, Platelets from donor to recipient.
Careful typing and cross matching to ensure compatibility.
Incompatibility result in serious, possibly fatal, reactions.
Agglutinate
Clump together. Antigens of blood clump together when mismatched/incompatible transfusions are done.
Universal donor
Type O Blood, does not contain A or B antigens; it may be given to a person with any of the other blood types.
Universal recipient
Type AB Blood, no antibodies against other blood types.
Rh factors
Other antigens on red blood cells. Further classification of blood tying. Rh-positive (Rh+) or Rh-negative (Rh-)
Rh+
May receive a transfusion with Rh+ or Rh-
Rh-
May only receive a transfusion from an Rh- blood.
