Which of the formed elements would increase after the donation of a pint of blood and why?
As reticulocytes (immature red blood cells having no nucleus, but containing a granular/reticulated look) increases additional numbers of immature red blood cells gather into the blood stream compensating for the decrease in the volume of blood. Reticulocyte is made up of eighty percent of a normal red blood cell’s hemoglobin and typically is expected to become a fully mature red blood cell within 24 hours (CNX, 2016).
Describe the three phases of the normal blood-clotting process.
Hemostasis is made up of three phases. The first stage consist of a platelet plug formation involving platelets becoming sticky allowing they to cling to the injury site. The second phase in known as the vascular spasm that consist serotonin to be released by the platelets resulting the blood vessels to constrict therefore decreasing the loss off blood. The third stage consists of coagulation involving the interaction of thromboplastin with calcium, PF3, and …show more content…
Those with type A contain antibodies in their blood against type B. While, those with type B contain antibodies in their blood against type A. Those with AB contain no antibodies for A or B. However, those containing blood type O are known to be universal donors allowing those with type ABO to accept. Rh blood groups are the second most important blood group system following ABO consisting of Rh-positive or Rh-negative depending on the presence/absences of Rh antibodies in the blood. They are also more complex. Those with Rh-positive blood can receive from those that are Rh-negative and of course Rh-positive. However, those with Rh-negative blood can only receive from Rh-negative if they accept a transfusion from Rh positive a reaction will occur. Blood type O negative is known to be a universal RBC donor, and blood type AB being the universal plasma donor (RCH,
