Determine Blood Group using Eldon Card
Introduction
In this assignment I am going to identify the blood’s structure, make enquiries about blood transfusion, the classifications of blood groups and its compatibility. I also review ABO alleles and genetic inheritance patterns. My main objective is to determine the blood group using the Eldon Card and analyze the experiment.
‘An average adult has between 10 and 12 pints of blood. 7% of a person's body weight is made up of blood. Human blood travels 60,000 miles per day on its journey through the arteries, arterioles and capillaries and back through the venules and veins Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. Blood carries carbon dioxide and other waste products back to the lungs, kidneys and liver for disposal. There are about 1 billion red cells in two to three drops of blood’

Blood Structure
Blood is a fluid connective tissue which contains 55% of plasma and 45% of blood cells. Plasma is straw-coloured slightly thick liquid made up mostly of water (90%-92%) and proteins (albumin, globulin, fibrinogen and prothrombin). It transports mineral salts, nutrients, waste, hormones, enzymes, gases and antibodies. Blood cells brake up into three types: erythrocytes (red blood cells), leucocytes (white blood cells) and
