BLOOD BLOOD GROUPS IMPORTANCE OF RH

FACTOR
- formed elements - 1901, Karl Landsteiner
- plasma discovered ABO - one of the proteins on
- produced by bone - 4 blood types RBCs
marrow - indicate blood of two
- volume depends on ➢ TYPE A - different people are
body weight - “A” antigens compatible
- 154pounds= 5 liters - “Anti-B” antibodies
- 41% population
CLINICAL IMPORTANCE OF
➢ Percentage of blood - Transfusion: Type A &
RH SYSTEM
- RBC= 45% O
- WBC=1% - 1st Group Sys: ABO
- PLASMA= 55% - 2nd Group Sys: Rh
➢ TYPE B (Rhesus)
- “B” antigens
FUNCTION OF THE BLOOD - “Anti-A” antibodies
- 10% population WHY IS IT CALLED RH
- Transportation of gases
- Transfusion: Type B & BLOOD TYPE
- Transportation of
O
chemicals - from the Rhesus
- Transportation of cells macaque monkey
- first discover this blood
➢ TYPE AB
type in Rhesus monkeys
- “A” and “B” antigens
BLOOD PLASMA
- No antibodies
- fluid part of the blood - 4% population
- Transfusion: A, B, AB, SUCCESS BLOOD
- water and proteins
O TRANSFUSIONS
(albumin, globulin,
fibrinogen, prothrombin) - Universal RECEIVERS - cross-matched

FORMED ELEMENTS (Blood) ➢ TYPE O


- No Antigens
1. Erythrocytes (RBC) - “Anti A&B” antibodies
➢ Oxygen and CO2 - 45% population
➢ Inside red marrow - Transfusions: Type O
- Universal DONORS
2. Thrombocytes
➢ ½ of erythrocytes
➢ Blood clotting of blood
RH (Rhesus) FACTOR
3. Leukocytes (WBC) - presence or
➢ Defense against - absence of a substance
pathogens (agglutinogen)
➢ move through cell walls - Agglutinogen=positive
➢ Neutrophil = identify - No Agglutinogen= nega
number of WBC - Agglu= blood clumping
