Blood also is a vital heat provider in the body keeping those needed areas warm and filters toxic substances that are not needed in the body.
The production of blood cells take place in the stem cells located in the bone marrow, after development they are then released into the bloodstream of the body. For transportation of oxygen to take place in the blood you need there to be a protein called Haemoglobin this protein is and iron-bearing protein thus allowing oxygen to be transported …show more content…

Blood typing is the procedure where your blood is withdrawn and tested to determine what blood type you have, this test is to see what types of proteins the blood consists of or antigens. There are four groups or types of blood you get, they are categorised as type A, B, AB and O. the reason for testing the blood type is to prepare when necessary a transfusion or transplant and having the blood type to be compatible with another. (Todd Gersten, Update Date …show more content…

Examples of the antigen types are that ABO consists of sugars and RH of proteins. (Dean L.Bethesda)

The antibodies that are present in blood types; there are four blood type groups; A, B, AB, O
In each blood type there are antibodies. In the blood type A there would be B antibodies causing a reaction towards the blood type b and AB. In the blood type b the antibodies available would be A antibodies and AB antibodies causing the A blood type to have an reaction towards the A and AB blood group. The O blood type will have a reaction to all of the above so it has antibodies for A type, B Type and AB type.
The only blood type that has not got antibodies towards other blood type is the AB blood type this type has antigens for all the above blood type, the A blood type the B blood type the AB blood type and the O blood types no reaction will occur during a blood transfusion of these blood types with regards to and AB receiving a blood transfusion from all the blood types. In the following image beneath is an example of the blood type compatibilities. (Goodnough

Its rate increases with advancing age, ranging from 16 cases per 100,000 person-years in those aged 15-19 years to 306 cases per 100,000 person-years in those between the ages of 75 and 84 years.

A matched sibling is the best possible donor because it decreases the chances of your body to reject the transplant. Since a sibling inherits some of the HLA markers from the parents its an easier match and more successful; sometimes siblings and parents are a match which then you 'd try and test an unrelated donor to see if that will be compatible.   Question 15   Prenatal testing is a test done to a see if the fetus/ embryo will have any possible birth defects, or health problems by testing amniotic fluid or placental cells.

General biology textbooks refer to Charles Darwin as the father of evolution, Carolus Linnaeus as the father of taxonomy, and Gregor Mendel as the father of genetics. They should refer to Charles Drew as the father of the blood bank. I learned about Dr. Drew and his achievements from the Internet.

    IMMUNE SYSTEM All living organisms are continuously exposed to substances that are capable of causing them harm. Most organisms protect themselves against such substances in more than one way --- with physical barriers, for example, or with chemicals that repel or kill invaders. Animals with backbones, called vertebrates, have these types of general protective mechanisms, but they also have a more advanced protective system called the immune system. The immune system is a complex network of organs containing cells that recognize foreign substances in the body and destroy them. It protects vertebrates against pathogens, or infectious agents, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other parasites.

    Rh antigen is also present on the surface of RBCs similar to A, B and O antigens. Test for Rh blood grouping can be performed easily by side agglutination test. This blood group could be the most complex one of all blood type systems since it involves 45 different antigens on the surface of red cells that are controlled by 2 closely linked genes on chromosome 1.[5] The inheritance of this trait can easily be predicted by knowing the simple genetic concept that the homozygous dominant i.e. DD and heterozygous i.e. Dd are Rh +ve and homozygous recessive i.e. are Rh
