Question
Answer
1901, when the Austrian Karl Landsteiner discovered human blood groups.   (blank)  
🗑
Mixing blood from two individuals can lead to blood clumping or agglutination.   (blank)  
🗑
The clumped red cells can crack and cause toxic reactions. This can have fatal consequences.   (blank)  
🗑
blood clumping was an immunological reaction which occurs when the receiver of a blood transfusion has antibodies against the donor blood cells.   (blank)  
🗑
Karl Landsteiner's work made it possible to determine blood types and thus paved the way for blood transfusions to be carried out safely.   (blank)  
🗑
adult human has about 4–6 liters of blood circulating in the body. Among other things, blood transports oxygen to various parts of the body.   (blank)  
🗑
Blood consists of several types of cells floating around in a fluid called plasma.   (blank)  
🗑
The red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds oxygen. Red blood cells transport oxygen to, and remove carbon dioxide from, the body tissues.   (blank)  
🗑
The white blood cells fight infection.   (blank)  
🗑
The platelets help the blood to clot, if you get a wound for example.   (blank)  
🗑
The plasma contains salts and various kinds of proteins.   (blank)  
🗑
There are more than 20 genetically determined blood group systems known today, but the AB0 and Rh systems are the most important ones used for blood transfusions.   (blank)  
🗑
Not all blood groups are compatible with each other. Mixing incompatible blood groups leads to blood clumping or agglutination, which is dangerous for individuals.   (blank)  
🗑
Karl Landsteiner was involved in the discovery of both the AB0 and Rh blood groups.   (blank)  
🗑
