Components of Blood Whole blood –RBCs –WBCs –Platelets: cell fragments that aid in clotting Plasma –90% water (allows materials to dissolve) –Amino acids, glucose, hormones, vitamins, salts, waste –Concentrations allows diffusion in/out of blood stream

Red Blood Cells Produced from stem cells in bone marrow Lose nucleus as they mature Transport O2 to cells; remove CO2 O2 binds to hemoglobin proteins Dead cells filtered by liver & spleen
NormalSickle Cell
White Blood Cells Remove foreign invaders & dead cells Able to move through body tissue
Platelets Form clots when bleeding Proteins form a web to trap cells & platelets
Proteins on blood cells determine blood type Antigen (markers) –proteins on cell’s surface that identify cells as foreign or natural Antibodies: –proteins from B cells to attack invaders –Float freely in plasma ABO Blood Groups
Group A blood A antigens on the surface of your RBCs B antibodies in your blood plasma
Group B blood B antigens on the surface of your RBCs A antibodies in your blood plasma
Group AB blood Both A and B antigens on the surface of your RBCs Neither A or B antibodies in your blood plasma
Group O blood Neither A or B antigens on the surface of your RBCs Both A and B antibodies in your blood plasma
If you have type A blood, can you receive: Type B blood from a donor? Type AB blood from a donor? Type O blood from a donor?
If you have type B blood, can you receive: Type A blood from a donor? Type AB blood from a donor? Type O blood from a donor?
If you have type AB blood, can you receive: Type A blood from a donor? Type B blood from a donor? Type O blood from a donor?
If you have type O blood, can you receive: Type A blood from a donor? Type B blood from a donor? Type AB blood from a donor?
Rh Factors If Rh+ –Protein found in blood –Can receive Rh+ or Rh- blood If Rh- –Lack protein in blood –Only receive Rh- blood
Francis was just in a bad accident and lost a lot of blood. He is blood type B+. Can you help save him?
Blood type B+ Antigens: Which does he have? A B Rh Antibodies: Which does he have? A B Rh
