Blood is a(n) ___________ tissue.
Living blood cells are referred to as _________________________.
The non-living fluid portion in which the cells are suspended is the ________________________.
If the blood is spun down in a ____________________, the red portion that will settle to the bottom includes
the red blood cells or the _____________________________.
The thin white layer that will appear between this and the plasma is the ______________________________.
It includes the white blood cells or the _________________________ and the _________________________.
On the average, the formed elements make up about ________ % of blood and the plasma makes up about

A loss of 15 to 30 % of your blood can lead to ______________________, whereas loss of more than 30%
causes ____________________________ and can be fatal.
Blood collected at a blood bank can be stored up to __________ days if refrigerated and stopped from
coagulating.
The plasma membranes of red blood cells have genetically determined proteins called ____________________.
Each of bodies, depending on our blood type, recognize self (type A blood recognizes A antigens).
We produce _____________________ that recognize what is not self (A blood would recognize B as not self
and produce anti-B antibodies against it.)
Be familiar with the types of blood, what antigens they produce, and what antibodies they produce. Know
which is the universal donor and universal recipient. BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN how this works.

AT THE CLINIC QUESTIONS:

to be deficient?
2. A woman comes to the clinic complaining of fatigue, shortness of breath, and chills. Blood tests show
anemia, and a bleeding ulcer is diagnosed. What type of anemia is this?

count remain at this higher-than-normal level? Why or why not?
5. Why is someone more likely to bleed to death when an artery is cleanly severed than when it is crushed
and torn?

7. When testing for blood type an individuals blood doesn’t agglutinate with either anti-A and anti-B
serum. What can you predict about their blood type?
8. In a blood test, a sample was found to only clump or agglutinate with anti-A serum. The blood sample is
