51
What is Blood clot and what does it prevent?
It's a mass of interwoven fibers and blood cells(RBC and Platelets). It prevents excess loss of blood from a wound.
52
What occurs when a blood vessels tears and rips?
Platelets congregate at the damaged site. Sticking together and forming a small Plug.
53
How does the blood vessels itself contribute to blood clot?
The blood vessels constricts slowing blood flow to the area.
54
What are the special clotting fibers released by platelets?
Proteins and Enzymes.
55
What do the produced special clotting fibers(proteins and enzymes) begin at the site of bleeding?
They begin a series of chemical reactions producing a protein called fibrin.
56
How do Fibrin trap RBCs and Platlets?
They consist of long sticky chains and form a net that traps them(RBC and Platelets)

Does Fibrin exist in the plasma in Normal conditions?
NO it only exists during an injury in blood vessels.
59
What is the difference between a Plug and Clot(scab)?
Plug = Congregation of platelets Clot(scab) = Fibrin + RBC + Platelets

Do RBC help blood clot?
NO. Although they take part but they are getting trapped by fibrin.
61
What other thing help blood to clot?
1.) Calcium Ions 2.) Coagulation factor 8
62
Is Fibrin released or produced by platelets?
NO It is produced from the chemical reactions between the special clotting factors (proteins and enzymes).
63
What is Hemophilia?
It's a disorder caused by the absence of one or more of the proteins required for blood clotting. Or is a disorder in which there is a failure in one of the steps of the clot formation.

RBC ----- Platelets ------ WBC
72
How is Blood Type determined?
By the type of antigen present on the surface of the Red Blood Cell
73
What is a foreign antigen?
It's a substance that stimulates the immune system. When they enter the body cells respond by producing antibodies
74
Which body cells produce antibodies when foreign antigens enter?
Plasma Cells
75
What is a Normal Antigen?
are the Antigens that are normally present in your body. On the Surface of RBCs
76
Do the normal antigens in your body provoke a response?
NO
77
What are the 3 most important human antigens called?
A antigen B antigen Rh antigen
78
What Antigens is the A-B-O system of blood typing based on?
A and B Antigens
79
What did Karl Landsteiner's observations of blood lead to?
It led to the classification of human blood by blood types
80
What did Karl Landsteiner notice when he mixed blood samples of two different people?
He noticed that sometimes it resulted in the cells clumping together or Agglutinating. Because when they are mixed reactions occur between the antigens on the RBC and the antibodies in the Plasma causing cells to Agglutinate.
81
Does a reaction occur when samples of the same blood type are mixed?
NO and blood cells don't Agglutinate
82
What does the A-B-O system achieve?
It classifies blood by the antigens located on the surface of the RBCs and the antibodies in the Plasma.
83
The kinds of Antigens on RBCs include:
A antigen B antigen Rh antigen
84
What are the kinds of antibodies in plasma cells?
A antibody B antibody Rh antibody
85
Do the Rh antigens and antibodies belong to the A-B-O system?
No they belong to the Rh system
86
Are the Antibodies against the Antigens?
YES
87
How are blood types determined by the antigens?
If RBC carry (A) antigen blood type = A if RBC carry (B) antigen blood type = B if RBC carry both (A&B) antigen blood type = AB If RBC carry no antigen blood type = O
88
What kind of antibody is in the plasma of blood type (A)
ANTI-B
89
What kind of antibody is in the plasma of blood type (B)
ANITI-A
90
What kind of antibody is in the plasma of blood type (AB)
THERE IS NONE
91
What kind of antibody is in the plasma of blood type (O)
ANTI-A and ANTI-B
92
Draw me out the blood donation and receiving pyramid(put the arrows in place)
1 O A B AB
93
Which blood type is considered as a universal donor?
(O) as they can donate to all blood types because the people with blood type (O) don't have A or B antigens
94
Which blood type is considered a universal recipient?
(AB) as they can receive blood from all blood types. As they don't have Anti-A or anti-B antibodies
95
When a person donates blood we must loot at them having which type of _________.
Antigen
96
When a person receives blood we must look at them having which type of_________.
Antibody
97
What is the similarity between antigens and antibodies?
Both are proteins
98
What will happen if a person with blood type (A) receives type (B) blood.
The anti-B antibodies in the plasma of the recipient will react with the antigens on the surface of the blood of the donor leading to Agglutination.
99
What does Agglutination cause?
It blocks flow of blood through blood vessels.
100
What is the Rh factor?
It's an antigen that is Sometimes present on the surface of RBCs.
101
Why is the Rh antigen called that?
It was named after the (Rhesus monkey) in which it was first discovered.
102
Which 2 things are included in the Rh system?
Rh(+) Rh(-)
103
What Rh(+) indicate.
It means that Rh antigen is present on the surface of RBC.
104
Does a person with Rh antigens have Rh antibodies?
NO, they can't produce them also. (As Antibodies are against same antigen)
105
What does Rh(-) mean?
It means that the Rh antigen is absent.
106
Will a person with Rh(-) produce Rh antibodies?
YES against the Rh(+) blood if it enters their body.
107
Do the antibodies in Rh(-) exist in normal conditions?
NO ( They only produce when Rh(+) blood enter)
108
Which blood types have 2 antigens?
1.) A(+) = (A&Rh) 2.) B(+) = (B&Rh) 3.) AB(-) = (A&B)
109
Which blood types have only one antigen?

110
How many antigens does AB(+) have?
3 (A, B & Rh)
111
During normal conditions which blood types have 1 antibody?
A(+ & - ) = (anti-B) B(+ & - ) = (anti-A)
112
During normal conditions which blood types have 2 antibodies?
O(+ & -) = (anti- A & B)
113
Which blood types will produce Rh antibodies during incompatible transfusion from Rh(+) blood.
All negative blood types
114
What is Rh incompatibility?
It is when an Rh(-) person receives a transfusion of blood that has Rh(+) antigens.
115
What is the cause of Rh incompatibility?
Antibodies will be produced and may react with the antigen and agglutination may occur.
116
What happens if a Rh(-) mother gives birth to a Rh(+) child?
During delivery a small amount of Rh(+) blood may reach the mothers blood. Causing the mother to develop antibodies.
117
What will be the problem if the Rh(-) mother gives birth to another Rh(+) child?
The mothers antibodies that were produced cross the placenta and attack the blood of the fetus. (This is called Erythroblastosis fetalis)
118
What is the two outcomes of Erthroblastosis fetalis.
The fetus may die or if born the child may need an immediate transfusion of Rh(+) blood.
119
How can you prevent Erthroblastosis fetalis?
Mother of Rh(-) can be given artificial antibodies to destroy the Rh(+) cells. Granting immunity against the Rh antigens before her immune system responds.
120

O(-)
121
Which blood type is a universal blood recipient?
AB(+)
