THE BLOOD AND IMMUNITY

THE BLOOD AND IMMUNITYTHE BLOOD AND IMMUNITYBLOOD IS A MULTI-PURPOSE FLUIDSERVES 3 MAJOR FUNCTIONSTRANSPORTNUTRIENTS, GASES, WASTES, HORMONES*REGULATIONHELPS CONTROL BODY TEMPBODY PHPROTECTIONCONTAINS SPECIALIZED CELLS AND CHEMICALS THAT FIGHT FOREIGN INVADERS (PATHOGENS)THE BLOOD AND IMMUNITYWHAT DETERMINES THE FUNCTION OF BLOOD?WHAT DETERMINES THE FUNCTION OF ANYTHING?STRUCTURE!!!HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT MAKES UP BLOOD??WE CENTRIFUGE IT!!A SPECIALIZED MACHINETHAT SPINS RAPIDLY, CAUSING MATERIALSTO SEPARATE BYDENSITY

THE BLOOD AND IMMUNITYWHAT WE SEE AFTER CENTRIFUGING BLOOD:

THE BLOOD AND IMMUNITYBLOOD IS MADE UP OF 4 COMPONENTSPLASMALIQUID PORTION OF BLOOD; MOSTLY WATERAPPEARS YELLOWRESPONSIBLE FOR TRANSPORT OF NUTRIENTS AND WASTESCONTAINS DIFFERENT PROTEINS (EX. ANTIBODIES)RED BLOOD CELLSA.K.A.

THE BLOOD AND IMMUNITYWHATS THE DEAL WITH BLOOD TYPES?

THE BLOOD AND IMMUNITYWHATS THE DEAL WITH THE (+) OR (-)IT IS SOMETHING CALLED RhDEALS WITH THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF A SPECIAL PROTEINMATTERS FOR TRANSFUSIONS & PREGNANCY!!

THE BLOOD AND IMMUNITYBLOOD TYPING AND RH FACTOR IS ESSENTIAL IN BEING ABLE TO TRANSFUSE BLOOD SUCCESSFULLY!!WHY IS TYPE O NEGATIVE BLOOD CONSIDERED THE UNIVERSAL DONOR?WHY IS TYPE AB POSITIVE BLOOD CONSIDERED TO BE THE UNIVERSAL RECIPIENT?
