Type O
If your blood agglutinates in the anti-A typing serum but not in the anti-B serum, them you have this blood type
Type A
If your blood agglutinates in the anti-B typing serum but not in the anti-A typing serum, them you have this blood type
Type B
If your blood agglutinates in both the anti-A typing serum and the anti-B typing serum, then you have this blood type
Type AB
If your blood does not agglutinate in either of the typing serums, you have this blood type
Type O
Universal donor gave blood that is this type
Type O
A universal recepient is this blood type
Type AB
The antigen protein present on the red blood cell membrane determines this
Blood type
The test that measures the percentage of red blood cells in a sample of blood
Hemorocrit

Antibodies
Mr. A and Mr. AB have volunteered to give blood to Mr. B, who has type B blood. Mr. A has type A blood and Mr. AB has type AB blood. Which blood could be transfused safely into Mr. B’s bloodstream?
Neither
If the mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive, ( or the mother is Rh negative and the fetus is Rh positive) what condition may occur?
Hemolytic disease of the newborn
Complications in the birth of a third child to an Rh negative mother are most likely to occur when the child is Rh positive and the two previous children were Rh ____.
Positive

Positive
