Blood type

Each person has a certain blood type. That blood type was established before the babies were even born. Furthermore, there is no alternate substance that was invented that will be able to replace blood or blood components with. It’s for that reason that blood needs to be utilized in an efficient manner that lives are being saved quicker and easier (bb). With just one pint of blood it can save several lives. That’s a large number of people that could be saved since every two seconds there will be

in blood types was discovered in the 1900s. Blood transfusions can only be completed after matching blood types. Everyone does not carry the same blood type although blood type O is the most common in the United States (US). The four blood types we know of are type A, B, O and AB. The ABO blood type is determined genetically. Each blood type can be identified by the absence or presence of agglutinogens. With that being said, blood type O is a universal blood donor. Anyone with an O blood type is

Determining what blood type a person has is very important. It is important because if one were to lose a great deal of blood in say, a car crash, the doctors would need to give him or her a blood transfusion. In order to give one a blood transfusion, the doctors would need to know him or her blood type. Blood types are determined by the agglutinogens, located in the red blood cells and the agglutinin, located in the blood plasma. For example, if a person is blood type A they have A agglutinogens

Abstract During this lab, students will learn how to perform a process as if it was a real blood test. Working with four different synthetic blood samples, they will use synthetic antisera to the A, B, and Rh antigens on red blood cells. Students are able to identify the blood type of each blood sample and how the blood type is determined. Introduction The blood is a very important fluid of our body that has many different ways that keep us healthy. It transports important nutrients and oxygen

1967189505 Blood Typing Experiment There are four blood types found in humans. These are A blood type which has the genotype either AA or AO, B blood type which has the genotype either BB or BO, AB blood type which has the genotype AB, and O blood type which has the genotype OO. These genotypes show a combination of complete dominance and codominance. A and B traits are dominant to the recessive O trait, however, the A trait is codominant to the B trait. Each blood type codes for certain antigens

Human Blood Type Inheritance Introduction The blood grouping systems commonly used include the ABO system that was first described by Karl Landsteiner. The discovery of blood grouping systems helped to avoid unnecessary death emanating from blood transfusion. The basics of blood grouping systems lie behind the inheritance of genes. The possession and inheritance of blood groups attribute to the parents who combine alleles responsible for the blood groups. The parents thus play a pivotal role in

there are four major blood types a ,b, ab, or O. The antigens on the surface of a blood cell determines what kind of blood type you have. Antigens are proteins on the surface of blood cells that can cause a response from the immune system. We need to know these blood types so that if we ever needed a blood transfusion, we know what blood type we would need. It matters what blood type you receive when you have a transfusion because if you receive a different blood type that yours it could possibly

determine what antigens are present in each blood sample and from there, determine what blood type that translates to. Blood types are determined by the presence or absence of two antigens, A or B. (Martini) An antigen is a substance that induces the production of antibodies. (Martini) Antibodies are involved with the immune system; they will bind to an antigen and work to remove it from the body. In a blood system, there are four blood types; A, B, AB and O. Blood type A contains A antigen and B antibodies

Another important consideration is the rarity of blood type. People with type AB are, indeed, unique individuals sharing their blood type with only 3% of the population. Because this type shows A and B genes, it inherits type A’s low stomach acid and type B’s adaptation to meats, where meats get stored as fat due to low stomach acid. Type AB also shows a correlation with anemia, heart disease and bronchial infections. It is also common for this blood type to show inhibited insulin production which may

Patients’ blood types are determined through blood typing similar to the above experiment. To interpret table 1 above, blood sample 1, was concluded to be blood type A+, because, the blood sample 1 agglutinated with anti- A and anti- Rh antibodies, but no agglutination was formed for anti- B. This means that, blood sample 1 has both A and Rh surface antigens which clumped with the anti- A and anti-Rh antibodies. Synthetic blood sample 4 was concluded to be blood type B-, because, there was no agglutination
