4. Blood types in the human population are characterized by the presence or absence of antigens on the
surface of the red blood cells.

a. According to Model 1, how many blood types are found in the human population?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

b. What shape is used in Model 1 to represent an A antigen?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

c. What distinguishes a type A red blood cell from a type B red blood cell?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

5. Refer to the antibodies shown in Model 1.

a. How many different types of antibodies are shown?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

b. Draw the antibody that is produced by a person with type A blood.

c. Which antigen would these antibodies fit?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
6. Model 1 illustrates what happens when red blood cells are in the presence of the two antibodies.
Write a description that explains the complementary relationships between antigens and antibodies.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

7. Refer to the second part of Model 1 that illustrates what happens when blood types are mixed.
What happens to red blood cells when they are mixed with complementary antibodies?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

8. The term coagulation used to describe what happens to red blood cells when incompatible blood types are
mixed.

a. Define coagulation according to Model 1.

____________________________________________________________________________________

b. What adverse effects might coagulated blood cells have on the body as they travel through veins, arteries,
and capillaries?
____________________________________________________________________________________

9. Refer to Model 1.
a. What antigens are self-antigens for a person with type A blood?

b. What antigens are nonself-antigens for a person with type A blood?

c. What antigens are self-antigens for type AB blood?

10. . Suppose a person with type A blood needs a blood transfusion after an accident. Blood is received from a
donor. Note that the antibodies in the donor blood are not significant. Only the antibodies in the recipient’s
blood will be considered. Use the diagrams in Model 1 to complete the following illustrations.
a. Draw the resulting mixture if the donor blood was also type A. (once again use the drawing function, or
find an image online that you can insert and cite).

b. Draw the resulting mixture if the donor blood was type B. (once again use the drawing function, or find an
image online that you can insert and cite).

c. Draw the resulting mixture if the donor blood was type O. (once again use the drawing function, or find an
image online that you can insert and cite).

11. Persons with type AB blood, which is rarest, are often referred to as universal recipients. Use your
knowledge from Model 1 to explain why people with type AB blood can receive any blood type.

12. People may need a replacement body part for a number of reasons. Currently, the main sources
of “new” organs are other human beings. One of the first steps in determining if an available organ will be a
match is to know the blood types of the donor and the recipient. Predict what would happen to the recipient
and the new organ if this critical step was skipped or done incorrectly. Use the terms antigen and antibody in
your explanation.
