Blood Typing Bellringer

Background: There are protein markers, called antigens, on the surface of red blood cells. You inherit these proteins, which define your blood type, from your parents. Blood type is particularly important when people give or receive blood for transfusions.The immune system uses different types of proteins to fight off foreign cells. Antibodies are one of these types of proteins. Antibodies might cause foreign cells, such as foreign red blood cells, to clump together. If you receive blood with a protein marker different from your own, your immune system will use antibodies as part of its attack against the foreign blood cells. The antibodies will cause the red blood cells to clump together. Blood cannot flow through the vessels, and death can result.There are two protein markers, A and B, and four blood groups, A, B, AB, and O, known as the ABO blood group. Type O blood has no protein markers and can be donated to a person with any other blood type. A person with Type O blood however, can only accept Type O blood.Before a patient receives a transfusion, blood must be matched for both the ABO group and the Rh group. Part1-Click "Bloodtyping Game"Take note of "Who can receive blood from whom?Click Play the Blood Typing GameClick "Play"Click on the syringe and then hold it to the patients arm to take some blood. Hover the syringe over each of the three test tubes to add blood to them. Click on the test tubes to see what's inside.Record what happens in each of the test tubes in the chart below.Determine the patients blood type correctly and record it in the chart below.This will bring you to the blood transfusion portion of the game. Read how many blood bags are required in the lower left corner. Determine which type(s) of blood the patient can receive according to their blood type. Record your results in the chart below. *If you click the bag it shows you the contents inside*Repeat this for 2 patients. (should be a female and a male) _ Tube A (Anti-A) Tube B (Anti-B) Tube Rh (Anti RH) Blood Type of Patient Blood Patient can recieve (other than their blood type) Patient 1 Patient 2 Jason is rushed to the hospital after losing blood from a work related accident. Because he was wearing a medical bracelet, the hospital staff knows that he has AB- blood type. Complete the following table based on this information. _ Antigens found on his red blood cells Antibodies found in his plasma Blood he can receive Jason A, B Rh+ A-, B-, O-, AB-
