What else can I help you with?
If an individual is transfused with the wrong type blood the recipients antibodies react with the donors antigens eventually clumping and hemolyzing the donated RBC?
true
If type O blood is transfused into a person with blood type B what will need to be done to the blood?
Since a patient with Type B blood has B antigens on their RBC's and since Type O blood has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies present in the blood plasma, the donor blood needs to be treated before transfusion. The Type O blood needs to be separated into packed cells and plasma, usually done by centrifuge, and only the packed cells should be used for the transfusion. Remember the anti-B antibodies are present in the Type O blood plasma and could cause serious damage in the system of a patient with Type B blood.
Type o blood doesn't have what?
Type O blood group's RBC doesn't have any antigen on it's surface, that is why it can be safely transfused to any person(at last theoretically).
Why does a patient's body accept the blood by transfusion despite the fact that the immune system tends to reject foreign objects?
To learn the answer of the above question first we have to know about the blood characteristics.There are four major types of blood A, B, AB, and 0. The blood types are determined by proteins called antigens. This antigen is found on the surface of the Red Blood Cell (RBC). Basically there are two antigens, A and B. If you have the A antigen on the RBC, then you have type A blood. When B antigen is present, you have type B blood. When both A and B antigens are present, you have type AB blood. When either are present, you have type O blood. When an antigen is resent on the RBC, then the opposite antibody is present in the plasma. For instance, type A blood has anti-type-B antibodies. Type B blood has anti-type-A antibodies. Type AB blood has no antibodies in the plasma, and type O blood has both anti-type-A and anti-type-B antibodies in the plasma. These antibodies are not present at birth but are formed spontaneously during infancy and last throughout life. In addition to the ABO blood group system, there is an Rh blood group system. There are many Rh antigens that can be present on the surface of the RBC. The D antigen is the most common Rh antigen. If the D antigen is present, then that blood is Rh+. If the D antigen is missing, then the blood is Rh-. Blood is transfused to a patient after determining the blood group and matching the characteristics of both. In such case the immune system accepts the foreign object.
What kind of antibodies does type AB have?
Since that person has anti-B antibodies, then A antigens are present in her red blood cells. Since that person doesnt have anti-A antibodies, then there are no B antigens present, which means the person has A type blood.
Which group is the universal donor and why?
O negative blood group is universal donor, it is bcz it haz no agglutinogen (antigens which r specific proteins on the surface of RBCs), so when transfused there will be no agglutinogen in it to react with agglutinins(defencive prteins /antibodies) present in the recipients blood. O (oh) is actually zero that indicates that no antigens are present on RBC surface.
How can ABO-incompatibility protect the baby against RH-incompatibility?
if O- mother consives A+ OR B- baby any foetal A or B TYPE RBC ENTERING THE MOTHERS blood cells are quickly distroyed by her anti-A or anti-B antibodies before she can form -Rh antibodies
What diferrenciates blood group O from other blood groups?
Type O red cells do not contain the terminal sugars on the RBC membranes that distinguish type A (N-acetylgalactosamine), type B (galactose) or type AB (both). Additionally, the plasma of a type O individual contains naturally occurring anti-A, anti-B and anti-AB antibodies (unique to type O individuals) that are directed against non-self RBC ABO antigens.
Why microscopic adjustments of RBC cells differs from WBC cells?
RBC have no nucleus. It is ejected as the cell develops so it can be packed with hemoglobin. Because of this it has a short life span of 120 days.
Does a person with type B blood agglutinate with a person with type A in the RBC's?
Yes. If you transfuse type B blood into a type A person there will be agglutination because the type A person naturally makes anti-B antibodies. The converse is also true. If you transfuse type A blood into a type B person there will be agglutination because the type B person naturally makes anti-A antibodies.
3 major kins of blood?
Kinds of blood to be transfuse are packed RBC, fresh whole blood and plasma.
What iv solution do you hang with blood?
I believe it's Lactated Ringers with the packed RBC's connected to the line by a Y connector.
