Everything
You Need To
Know
(1) Blood:
a. Blood is made of both living and nonliving parts.
b. Living Parts of Blood 
i. Red blood cells
ii. White blood cells
c. Nonliving Parts of Blood 
i. Plasma
ii. Platelets
iii. Proteins, Water, Salts
d. Types of Blood Cells + Parts 
i. Red Blood Cells = Erythrocytes
ii. White Blood Cells = Leukocytes
iii. Platelets = Red blood cell fragments used in clotting
e. Hemoglobin = Protein in red blood cells which allows oxygen to bind with them.
(2) Anemia:
a. A disorder in which a person’s body does not carry oxygen to working tissues.
b. Causes:
i. Low red blood cell count
ii. Low hemoglobin concentration
iii. Deformed red blood cells
(3) White Blood Cells:
a. Part of your immune system ; Help protect the body from infectious agents.
b. Use DIAPEDESIS to travel across organs and tissues.
c. Use POSITIVE CHEMOTAXIS to locate infections.
d. Types:
i. Neutrophils = 1st responders and most common
ii. Basophils = release histamine to dilate blood vessels
iii. Eosinophils = attack larger parasites
iv. B Lymphocytes = produce antibodies
v. T Lymphocytes = respond to antibodies
vi. Monocytes = Last responders during chronic infection
(4) Blood Typing Basics:
a. Antigens = Protein tags on the surface of red blood cells
b. Antibodies = Proteins free-floating in blood (used to bind with foreign cells)
c. There are 3 Types of Antigens/bodies = A , B , Rh (“positive”)
d. Whatever your cells have as antigens, the remaining you have as antibodies…
i. EXAMPLE  If you are blood type A, you have A antigens… therefore you have B and
Rh antibodies in your blood.
e. Agglutination = Used to identify blood types
i. When the SAME antigens and antibodies bind together, forming a clumpy surface to the
blood.
f. Who Can You Donate To?
i. You can donate to anyone who as ALL of the same antigens your cells have.
ii. They might have more antigens, but they at least have to have all the ones your cells
have.
g. Who Can You Receive From?
i. You can receive from anyone who has ANY of you antigens, but NONE of your
antibodies.
ii. They may have fewer types of antigens, but as long as they have one/some it’s okay.
(5) Type A:
a. Antigens = A
b. Therefore Antibodies = B and Rh
c. Can Donate To…
Anyone who has A antigens on their cells too! 
Type A, Type A+, Type AB, Type AB+
d. Can Receive From…
Anyone who has the A antigens, but does NOT have B or Rh!
Type A and Type O
(6) Type A+:
a. Antigens = A and Rh
b. Therefore Antibodies = B only
c. Can Doante To…
Anyone who has A and Rh antigens on their cells too! 
Type A+ and Type AB+
d. Can Receive From…
Anyone who has A and/or Rh antigens, but does NOT have B!
Type A, Type A+, Type O, Type O+
(7) Type B:
a. Antigens = B
b. Therefore Antibodies = A and Rh
c. Can Doante To…
Anyone who has B antigens on their cells too! 
Type B, Type B+, Type AB, Type AB+
d. Can Receive From…
Anyone who has B antigens, but does NOT have A or Rh!
Type B and Type O
(8) Type B+:
a. Antigens = B and Rh
b. Therefore Antibodies = A only
c. Can Donate to…
Anyone who has B and Rh antigens on their cells too! 
Type B+ and Type AB+
d. Can Receive From….
Anyone who has B and/or Rh antigens, but does NOT have A!
Type B, Type B+, Type O and Type O+
(9) Type AB:
a. Antigens = A and B
b. Therefore Antibodies = Rh only
c. Can Donate To…
Anyone who has both A and B antigens on their cells too! 
Type AB and Type AB+
d. Can Receive From…
Anyone who has A and/or B antigens, but does NOT have Rh!
Type A, Type B, Type AB, and Type O
(10)
Type AB+:
a. Antigens = A, B, and Rh
b. Therefore Antibodies = NONE
c. Can Donate To…
Anyone who has A and B and Rh antigens all on their cells too! 
Type AB+ only
d. Can Receive From…
Anyone! They have no blood cell antibodies! 
Also, anyone who has A and/or B and/or Rh antigens on their cells!
Type A, Type A+, Type B, Type B+, Type AB, Type AB+, Type O, Type O+
(11)
a.
b.
c.
d.
(12)
a.
b.
c.
d.
Type O:
Antigens = NONE
Therefore Antibodies = A, B, and Rh
Can Donate To…
Anyone! They have no antigens on their cells for your body to recognize as foreign! 
Can Receive From…
Only O 
They have all 3 antibodies, so they can’t take anything with an A or a B or an Rh (positive).
Type O+:
Antigens = Rh only
Therefore Antibodies = A and B
Can Donate To…
Anyone Positive! They only have Rh antigens on their cells!
Type A+, Type B+, Type AB+, Type O+
Can Receive From…
Only Type O and Type O+ 
They have A and B antibodies so they can’t receive any types with A and/or B!
