Exercise 1: Observing Blood
Questions
A. What are the components of blood?
Blood components include plasma, white blood cells red blood cells, platelets.
B. What is the function of red blood cells?
Function of the red blood cells is to carry oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the cells are shaped concave to able to maneuver through blood vessels.
C. List the five types of leukocytes and describe the function of each
Neutrophil
Phagocytic cells part of the immune system
Eosinophil
Allergic conditions and parasites
Basophil
synthesize heparin and histamine
monocytes
a large phagocyte
lymphocytes
antibody production
Exercise 2: Blood Typing
Questions _
A. Describe how the ABO blood typing system works.
It is a system of classifying blood based on the presence of protein on the surface of the plasma membrane on the RBC. The protein is called antigen which is accompanied by antibody.
B. Why is it important for everyone to know their own blood type?
Because every antibody will react to a different RBC with different antigen causing the them to clump and rupture. This is especially important in blood transfusion the right blood type to be matched.
C. Describe what would happen if type A blood were transfused into a person with type B blood.
The antibodies will react causing the cells to become clumped, agglutinated and eventually ruptured because the antibodies are not compatible.
D. What happens in the blood of an Rh-negative individual who is exposed to Rh-positive blood?
The body will produce antibodies in response to the RH positive antigens.
