Breakdown of recipient's red blood cells when incompatible bloods are mixed?
When incompatible blood types are mixed, the recipient's immune system may produce antibodies that attack the transfused red blood cells. This can lead to the breakdown of red blood cells, known as hemolysis. Hemolysis can cause potential complications such as jaundice, kidney failure, and even death if not addressed promptly. In severe cases, a condition called hemolytic transfusion reaction can occur, which is a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention.
Which of these determine a person's blood type and stimulate antibody formation?
Antigens determine a person's blood type. These antigens are present on the surface of red blood cells and stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against incompatible blood types.
What happens to the fragments of old red blood cells after they rupture?
After old red blood cells rupture, the fragments are broken down by the body's immune system and recycled for the production of new red blood cells.
What will happen if two incompatible blood types are mixed?
The type B blood has an antigen on the red cells identifying them as B type cells. The type A blood of the recipient contains antibodies that bind to B type antigens. These antibodies will cause the red cells of the blood in the transfusion to stick together forming solid lumps in the blood, preventing it from flowing.
What happens to worn out red blood cells?
Worn out red blood cells are removed by the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. The cells are broken down and their components are recycled or excreted from the body. This process helps maintain the appropriate level of healthy red blood cells in circulation.
What is the clumping together of red blood cells when unlike incompatible types of blood are mixed is due to antibodies in the plasma and antigens on the?
On the surface of red blood cells Take A type blood, for instance. It has antigens against B type blood contact on its cell surface.
What is the process that occurs when two incompatible blood types are mixed causing clumping of blood cells?
Agglutunation
What is rupturing of red blood cells that can cause kidney failure and death after an incompatible blood transfusion?
PYROGEN
What happens when blood in capillaries flow the past cells?
Materials needed by the cells move from the blood into the cells, and waste materials move from the cells into the blood.
What happens to red blood cells at high elevations?
Polycythemia or an increase in red blood cells
What cause blood clumping?
Blood clumping, or agglutination, occurs when blood cells clump together due to the presence of antibodies that react with antigens on the surface of the cells. This can happen during incompatible blood transfusions or in certain autoimmune diseases where the immune system mistakenly targets its own blood cells.
What happens to blood cells if it has no oxygen?
They die
What process happens in the bone marrow?
Erythropoiesis (making red blood cells) and the synthesis of other blood cells.
What happens to cells if they undergo differentiation?
different types of blood cells are formed
Where does the white blood cells get destroyed?
What happens to antibodies when they destroy microbes
Which blood vessels are in close contact with body cells?
capillaries
What is the layer of epithelial cells in contact with blood in the heart?
endocardium
