American Society for Clinical Pathology - They provide exams that evaluate clinical skills
26
NAACLS (What does it stand for?)
National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Science
27
CLIA (What does it stand for?)
Clinical Lab Improvement Amendments
28
What are the surface molecules called on RBCs?
They are referred to as antigens
29
How many different types of antigens are there on RBCs?
Two of them - A antigens - B antigens
30
What antigens does O have on its RBCs?
neither, O is the term used when there is no A or B antigens present
31
If a person has an AA genotype what antibodies would be present in their plasma?
They would have anti B antibodies
32
If a person has an AB genotype what antibodies would be present in their plasma?
They would have no antibodies
33
If a person has an OO genotype what antibodies would be present in their plasma?
They would have both anti A and anti B antibodies
34
What is Agglutination?
it is the clotting of Red blood cells
35
What are the two things to consider when finding blood compatability?
1. the antigens on the RBCs of the donor's blood 2. the antibodies in the recipient of the blood
36
How can we prevent Rh incompatibility issues between mothers giving birth?
Special immune globulins called RhoGAM are used
37
What gives people the Positive and Negative Rh factor
It is the presence (positive) or absence (negative) of a different antigen called D, Rhesus
38
Are there anti-Rh antibodies in plasma?
Yes, but only Rh- blood produces anti-Rh antibodies (Rh+ blood does not)
39
Can any Rh- person donate to an Rh+
yes, because Rh+ people don't produce antibodies like Rh- people do
40
Can any Rh+ person donate to an Rh-
no because there are anti Rh+ antibodies in the blood of an Rh- person
41
What is the "universal recipient"?
AB+ is the universal recipient because their blood displays no antibodies
42
What is the "universal donor"?
O- is the universal donor as they do not have any antigens on their blood cells.
