Procedure 1 Blood-Type Matching Practice Use the information above and your text to fill in Table 17.4. After you have filled in the table, answer Check Your Understanding questions 4 and S (p. 448) TABLE 17.4 Blood Donation Blood Type | Antigens Present | | to which nated Types? It Can Receive Safely from Which Blood Types? Antibodies Present to Which Blood Types A, O, A,O A+ A- B+ 81,8,ot,0 B- A AG , AB A, 8, 01 AB+ AB- ,o 0+ 0- of You should notice something from Table 17.4: AB+ to any blood type. This is because AB+ blood has all three antigens but no antibodies to these antigens, which is why it is often called the universal recipient. But Type O-has none of the three antigens for a recipient's antibodies to bind, so it can be donated to any blood type. For this reason, type O-is often called the universal donor 40 Exploring Anatomy in the Laboratory

O-

AB+ is the universal acceptor. Hence, it accepts blood from all blood groups. O- is the universal donor. Hence, it donates blood to all blood groups.

Rh antibodies are only present in Rh negative blood groups. Rh antigen is present in Rh positive blood groups.

A blood group will generate antibodies B antigens and vice versa.
