If an individual is transfused with the wrong blood type, the
recipient's antibodies react with the donor's antigens, eventually
clumping and hemolyzing the donated RBCs.

Which of these represents the majority of whole blood by volume?
- erythrocytes
- leukocytes
- platelets
- plasma
| back 2 - plasma
- Plasma
typically constitutes 55% of whole blood, although this value can
vary somewhat.

Which formed elements are highlighted?
- neutrophils
- basophils
- platelets
- eosinophils

Leukopenia ________.
- may result from bone marrow
cancer, or from living at high altitudes
- may indicate a
disease such as cirrhosis of the liver or tuberculosis
- is
characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal WBCs
- is characterized by an abnormally high WBC count
| back 4 - may indicate a disease such as
cirrhosis of the liver or tuberculosis

Which of the following blood types is considered the
universal donor?
- type O-
- type
AB-
- type O+
- type AB+
| back 6 - type O-
- Erythrocytes
in type O- blood lack antigens, so they do not induce an immune
response in any recipient and can be safely donated to a recipient
with any blood type.
|
| |
front 8
Will this blood transfusion result in transfusion reaction?
- yes
- only if the
patient has been previously sensitized
- can't be
determined
- no
| back 8 - no
- The recipient has
no antibodies in his or her plasma and the donor has no antigens, so
there can be no agglutination or transfusion reaction.
|
front 9
Which of the following donors will be suitable for a
recipient with type A+ blood?
- donor with B+ blood
- donor with AB+ blood
- donor with O- blood
- donor
with AB- blood
| back 9 - donor with O- blood
- The donor blood has no antigens, so the recipient blood will not
react to the donor's blood. Even though the donor blood has anti-A
and anti-Rh antibodies, they will not be able to destroy enough of
the recipient's cells, so this transfusion will work.

front 10
Blood typing is based on the presence of proteins known as
__________ on the outer surface of the red blood cell plasma membrane.
| |
front 11
Determine
the blood group of a patient who has erythrocytes like the
one shown in the figure.
| back 11 - AB+
- A person with AB+
blood has A, B, and Rh antigens on the surface of their erythrocytes
and no anti-A, anti-B, or anti-Rh antibodies.
|
front 12
How is the expression of surface antigens on red blood cells determined?
- random selection
- genetics
- environment
- previous exposure to an
antigen
| back 12 - genetics
- The genetic
inheritance from each parent determines which antigens are expressed
on the surface of an individual’s red blood cells.
- Antigens
are usually proteins that can stimulate the production of
antibodies. DNA is the molecule of heredity that contains the
instructions for making all proteins.
|
| back 13 - The presence or absence of A
and/or B surface antigens determines ABO blood type.
|
| back 14 - For ABO blood, antibodies will
be present in the plasma if the cell lacks the corresponding
antigen. However, some antibodies, such as acquired antibodies, are
only produced if there has been exposure to the corresponding
antigen.
|
front 15
Like the ABO blood group, the Rh blood group is important in
determining blood transfusion compatibility. Which of the
following statements is true regarding the Rh blood group?
- Individuals with
Rh– blood type have Rh (D) antigens on the surface of
their red blood cells.
- Anti-Rh (D) antibodies are only
found in Rh– individuals who have been exposed to
Rh+ blood.
- Individuals with Rh+ blood
type have the corresponding anti-Rh (D) antibodies in their
plasma.
- Rh+ blood can be safely transfused into
individuals with Rh– blood with no adverse
reactions.
| back 15 - Anti-Rh (D) antibodies are
only found in Rh– individuals who have been exposed to
Rh+ blood.
- The term Rh comes from its
discovery using Rhesus monkeys. The + and – signs are added as a
suffix to the ABO blood type.

Predict what the following blood type test results will look
like for a person who has Type B- blood. Drag the correct
blood results onto the test card wells. Blood results may be used
more than once. | back 16 - Blood typing is vitally
important before receiving a blood transfusion because of
potentially fatal transfusion reactions and during pregnancy to
prevent the possibility of hemolytic disease of the newborn.

When determining the __________, you will centrifuge whole
blood in order to allow the formed elements to sink to the bottom
of the sample.
| |
front 18
Which of these is true of the materials making up the buffy
coat in centrifuged blood?
- They are denser than
erythrocytes but less dense than plasma.
- They are denser
then plasma and erythrocytes.
- They are intermediate in
density between erythrocytes and plasma.
- They are less
dense than both erythrocytes and plasma.
| back 18 - They are intermediate in
density between erythrocytes and plasma.
- Centrifugation
separates materials by density. Materials in the buffy coat are
intermediate in density between erythrocytes and plasma.
|
front 19
Determine the blood type of this patient based on the blood-
typing test results in the figure.
| back 19 - B
- The blood of this
patient agglutinates when tested with anti-B antibody, so the B
antigen is present. There is no reaction with the anti-A
antibody.

Identify the leukocytes in the figure in order.
- monocyte, eosinophil,
lymphocyte, lymphocyte, neutrophil
- neutrophil, eosinophil,
basophil, lymphocyte, monocyte
- neutrophil, basophil,
eosinophil, monocyte, lymphocyte
- eosinophil, neutrophil,
monocyte, basophil, lymphocyte
| back 20 - neutrophil, eosinophil,
basophil, lymphocyte, monocyte
- This is the correct order.
Notice that A-C are granular, while D and E are agranular. The
groups can then be distinguished by looking at cell size, granule
color, and nucleus shape.

Where are anti-Rh antibodies produced?
- in an Rh- person who has been
previously exposed to Rh antigen and sensitized
- in an Rh+
person who has been previously exposed to Rh antigen and
sensitized
- in every Rh- person, even if they have not been
previously exposed to Rh antigen
- in every Rh+ person, even
if they have not been previously exposed to Rh antigen
| back 21 - in an Rh- person who has been
previously exposed to Rh antigen and sensitized

When a person has an acute bacterial infection, such as
bacterial meningitis or appendicitis, which type of leukocyte
increases in number?
- basophils
- lymphocytes
- neutrophils
- eosinophils
| back 22 - neutrophils
- Neutrophils tend to increase in number in bacterial
infections.

A blood test reveals a large increase in the number of RBCs.
One possible explanation for this may be ________.
- leukemia
- polycythemia
- anemia
- leukocytosis

Which type of leukocyte is responsible for antibody production?
- monocytes
- lymphocytes
- eosinophils
- basophils
| back 24 - lymphocytes
- B
lymphocytes, which mature in the bone marrow and do not require
exposure to thymosin in the thymus as T lymphocytes do, produce
antibodies.
