MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -blood group A – has A antigens on the red blood cells with anti-B antibodies in the plasma. blood group B – has B antigens with anti-A antibodies in the plasma. blood group O – has no antigens, but both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma.

Detailed explanation-2: -People with type A blood have anti-B antibodies. People with type B blood have anti-A antibodies. Type O blood contains both types of antibodies. The 2 steps above can accurately determine your blood type.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is because the O blood type does not have the A or B antigen in its red blood cells. The anti-A and anti-B antibodies are found in the plasma of the O blood type which is not transfused with red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -A person with type A blood has: b) antigen A on the RBCs and anti-B antibodies in the plasma (correct) : An individual with type A blood will have A antigens on their RBCs. Type A individuals naturally produce anti-B antibodies in their plasma.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anti-A and anti-B are found in the sera of individuals who lack the corresponding antigens. They are produced in response to environmental stimulants, such as bacteria, and have therefore been termed natural antibodies.
