A&P Lab Practical 4 Flashcards
Identify the factors that determine a person’s ABO blood type.
Antigens on the surface of Red blood cells.
Antigens are proteins with sugars attached.
List the antigen(s) and antibodies present in blood type A-
- Antigen A
- Anti-B
- Anti-D
List the antigen(s) and antibodies present in blood type AB+
- Antigen A
- Antigen B
- Antigen D
- No antibody
List the antigen(s) and antibodies present in blood type O-
- Anti-A
- Anti-B
- Anti-D
Predict the blood types of people who can receive blood type O+
- Antigen D
- Anti-A
- Anti-B
Predict the blood types of people who can receive blood type AB+
- AB+
Predict the blood types of people who can receive blood type B+
- B+
Identify the factors that determine a person’s Rh factor.
- Presence of Antigen D on surface of red blood cells
In blood typing lab you used the following: Lancets ______ blood typing cards ______ sticks
- Eldon
- Eldon
Distinguish between blood and plasma.
- Blood is the total of plasma + formed elements
- Plasma is the yellow liquid component of blood
Distinguish between serum and plasma.
Serum is liquid portion of blood without RBCs, WBCs, and clotting factors.
Plasma is the yellow liquid portion of blood, still contains clotting factors.
What are formed elements?
- Formed elements are blood cells, platelets, and proteins
Where are the AB antigens found?
- On the surface of Red Blood Cells.
List some blood safety rules.
- Consider all body fluids as potentially infected.
- Do not touch anyone else’s body fluids.
- Wear latex gloves and protective eyewear.
- Do not reuse lancets.
What structures are visible on a blood smear slide?
- Red Blood cells
- White blood cells
- Platelets
Blood is a _____ _______ tissue.
- fluid connective
Blood has several functions ….
- transporting nutrients & gases
- maintaining pH
- regulating body heat
- fighting pathogens
- clotting/minimizing blood loss
Blood is composed of
- plasma
- red blood cells
- white blood cells
- platelets
Another name for red blood cells is
- erythrocytes
White blood cells are also known as
- leukocytes
Leukocytes are broken down into what two categories?
- Agranulocytes
- Granulocytes
Agranulocytes include
- a. lymphocytes (round nucleus, very little cytoplasm)
- b. monocytes (kidney-shaped nucleus)
The 3 types of granulocytes are ….
a. neutrophils-lobed nucleus and fine granules
b. eosinophils-lobed nucleus and red/yellow granules
c. basophils-large purple granules and difficult to see nucleus
Platelets are also called
- thrombocytes
