Term
antigens
Definition
Surface proteins on red blood cells
Term
Antigen A and Antigen B
Definition
What antigens are found in the ABO blood group?
Term
A antigens
Definition
Someone with Type A blood has _________ antigens.
Term
They have no antigens.
Definition
What antigens are on the surface of a Type O person's blood?
Term
antibodies
Definition
What are the proteins made by B-lymphocytes that attack foreign blood?
Term
Anti- A antibodies
Definition
What antibodies are in the blood of a Type B person?
Term
They cause it to agglutinate or stick to the antibodies. The RBC's become bound up to all the antibodies and don't flow in the plasma.
Definition
What do antibodies do to foreign blood?
Term
Antigen D
Definition
What Rh antigen causes a strong immune response?
Term
antigen A, antigen B and antigen D/Rh
Definition
What antigens are found on the surface of the erythrocytes in an AB+ person?
Term
Anti B antibodies
Definition
What antibodies are found in the blood of a A+ person?
Term
Type O -
Definition
What is the bloodtype of a person whose blood did not agglutinate in any of the antibody tests?
Term
O -
Definition
What blood type is the universal donor?
Term
AB+
Definition
What blood type is the universal recepient?
Term
The blood from an Rh+ baby gets into the blood of an Rh- mom during delivery and then the mom makes antibodies to attack that foreign blood. During the mom's second pregnancy, her anti-Rh antibodies cross the placenta and attack the blood of the 2nd baby with Rh+ blood. The fetus may be miscarried or born as a stillbirth.
Definition
What causes erythroblastosis fetalis or hemolytic disease?
Term
They administer Rhogam (anti-Rh antibodies) to Rh- moms, so that their own immune systems won't make lots of Rh antibodies.
Definition
How do Dr.s stop erythroblastosis fetalis?
Term
O+
Definition
Which blood type is the most common?
Term
AB-
Definition
Which blood type is the most rare?
Term
Because the O blood will have anti-A and Anti-B antibodies in it, which can cause a agglutination reaction in the recepient.
Definition
Why do we only give type O blood to non-O people in emergency situations?
Term
blood vessel spasm
Definition
Smooth muscles in blood vessel wall constrict to reduce the flow of blood.
Term
serotonin
Definition
What substance is released by platelets to help maintain a blood vessel spasm?
Term
thrombocytes
Definition
What's the other name for platelets?
Term
rough surfaces; or collagen protein from torn blood vessels
Definition
What triggers platelets to become "sticky"?
Term
platelets become activated when exposed to rough surface of torn blood vessel which makes them become sticky. They stick to the blood vessel and to each other forming a plug.
Definition
Describe a platelet plug formation.
Term
blood vessel spasm
Definition
What's the least effective means of stopping blood flow?
Term
Blood coagulation/clotting
Definition
What's the most effective means of hemostasis?
Term
damaged tissue; broken blood vessels
Definition
What triggers extrinsic clotting?
Term
a foreign substance in the blood
Definition
What triggers intrinsic clotting?
Term
fibrinogen
Definition
What clotting factor in the blood becomes fibrin?
Term
fibrin
Definition
What's the name of the thread like protein that traps blood cells?
Term
There are numerous steps to convert many clotting factors to new substances and it ultimately results in fibrinogen becoming fibrin.
Definition
Describe the clotting mechanism or process.
Term
hemophiliac
Definition
A person whose blood doesn't clot is a _________
Term
thrombus
Definition
a stationary intrinsic clot that forms in a blood vessel
Term
embolus
Definition
a mobile clot
Term
stroke
Definition
a blood vessel is blocked in the brain triggering death in brain tissue
Term
heart attack; myocardial infarction
Definition
a clot or blockage stops blood flow to heart muscle tissue and the heart tissue dies
Term
Very smooth blood vessel lining; prostaglandins and heparin help keep platelets from sticking together.
Definition
What does the body do to help stop abnormal clotting from occurring?
Term
liver; blood
Definition
Most of the clotting factors are made by the ______ and stored in the _______
Term
hemophilia; blood doesn't clot
Definition
If someone is missing clotting factor X, what would be wrong with them?
