Question

assignment: part i. (1 pt ea) fill in the following table (the rh factor should not be considered):

\

$$\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|} \\hline blood type & a & b & ab & o \\\\ \\hline antigen on rbcs & & & & \\\\ \\hline antibody in plasma & & & & \\\\ \\hline compatible donor blood types & & & & \\\\ \\hline incompatible & & & & \\\\ \\hline \\end{tabular}$$

Explanation:

Identify antigens and antibodies for each blood type

• Type A: Has A antigens on RBCs and anti-B antibodies in plasma.
• Type B: Has B antigens on RBCs and anti-A antibodies in plasma.
• Type AB: Has both A and B antigens on RBCs and no antibodies in plasma.
• Type O: Has no antigens on RBCs and both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in plasma.

Determine compatible donor blood types

• Type A: Can receive from A and O.
• Type B: Can receive from B and O.
• Type AB: Can receive from A, B, AB, and O (universal recipient).
• Type O: Can receive only from O.

Determine incompatible donor blood types

• Type A: Incompatible with B and AB.
• Type B: Incompatible with A and AB.
• Type AB: None (fully compatible with all ABO types).
• Type O: Incompatible with A, B, and AB.

Answer:

Blood Type	A	B	AB	O
Antibody in plasma	Anti-B	Anti-A	None	Anti-A and Anti-B
Compatible donor blood types	A, O	B, O	A, B, AB, O	O
Incompatible	B, AB	A, AB	None	A, B, AB
