packet 9 Flashcards
surfaces are marked by genetically determined glycoproteins & glycolipids
agglutinogens or isoantigens
RBC
display only antigen A
type A
display only antigen B
type B
display both antigens A & B
type AB
display neither antigen
type O
contains isoantibodies or agglutinins to the A or B antigens not found in your blood
plasma
anti-A antibody reacts with
antigen A
anti-B antibody reacts with
antigen B
People with Rh agglutinogens on RBC surface are
Rh+
Antibodies develop only in Rh- blood type & only with exposure to the antigen through
transfusion of positive blood
during a pregnancy with a positive blood type fetus
Transfusion reaction upon 2nd exposure to the antigen results in __ of the RBCs in the donated blood
hemolysis
People with type __blood called “universal recipients” since have no antibodies in plasma
*only true if cross match the blood for other antigens
AB
People with type _ blood cell called “universal donors” since have no antigens on their cells
*theoretically can be given to anyone
O
Stoppage of bleeding in a quick & localized fashion when blood vessels are damaged Prevents hemorrhage (loss of a large amount of blood)
hemostasis
methods used for hemostasis
vascular spasm
platelet plug formation
blood clotting (coagulation = formation of fibrin threads)
