| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What term identifies a protein that is found in the membrane of a cell that identifies the type of cell? | Antigen |
| What term describes a cell that is created by basophils that are designed to kill any cells that have a certain antigen on them? | Antibody |
| If you are a person with type A blood, your basophils produce antibodies against what blood? | Type B |
| If you are a person with type B blood, your basophils produce antibodies against what blood? | Type A |
| If you are a blood type AB person, what antigens do your blood cells have? | A and B antigens |
| If you are a blood type AB person, what antibodies do your basophils produce? | None (if it produced A or B, they would attack all of your blood cells, that is BAD.) |
| If you are a blood type O person, what antigens do you have on your blood cells? | None |
| If you are a blood type O person, what antibodies do your basophils produce? | both A and B because neither of them is natural to your body |
| If you give someone a blood type that is NOT compatible with their blood, what happens | agglutination |
| What term describes the process of blood clumping together because the antibody for that blood is present? | agglutination |
| What determines your blood type? | genetics |
| ABO blood type are examples of which type of genetic cross? | co dominance |
| What are the 4 types of blood? | A, B, AB and O phenotypes |
| What are the “sprinkles” actually representing? | antigens |
| What are the parts of the blood that fight against each antigen type? | antibody |
| What blood type is the “universal donor”? | O because it is RBCs have no antigens on its membrane to elicit an immune response |
| What blood type is the “universal recipient”? | AB because their blood has no antbodies |
| What does Rh stand for? | rhesus monkey |
| What does it mean to be Rh+? | you have Rh antigen on the membrane |
| What does it mean to be Rh-? | you have no Rh antigens, so you will react to the presence of Rh antigens |
| If a man is Rh+ and woman is Rh-, and theuy conceive a child, can the child be Rh+? | yes |
| Will moms immune system react to the babies Rh+ blood? | No they are not explosed until childbirth |
| If mom conceives a second Rh+ baby later on, what will happen? | her antibodies will attack the fetus blood because moms blood was previously exposed to the Rh+ blood |
