Document Summary
Describe the production and function of rbcs. Explain 3 mechanisms that contribute to hemostasis. Describe key features and functions of the lymphatic system. Antigen is any substance that causes an antibody response to be generated. Blood (cid:3202) type of protein (cid:3202) on the red blood cell (cid:3202) in the plasma, there are antibodies that float around. You do not generate antibodies against things that your body see as normal. Cross-match: donor"s rbcs mixed with patient serum (cid:3203) if donor"s rbcs reacted with patient serum it means it will not be compatible. Screening: recipient"s serum tested against a panel of rbcs (cid:3202) use serum and screen it against known blood cell types and see which rxn occurs. If you donate a type blood to a b type person, their anti-a antibody will attack the rbcs (cid:3202) rbc in donated blood clump + can rupture (cid:3202) toxic reaction, can be fatal.
