In case an American needs an emergency blood transfusion, blood with the following blood type(s)
can be given without fear of agglutination?
A. O+
B. AB+
C. AB-
D. Blood with the same blood type as the person needing the transfusion.

Question 4 of 20
0.0/ 5.0 Points
The blood type of a person’s blood depends on which of the following factors?
A. Which of the three antigens, A, B, and/or O, are located on the surface of the erythrocytes.
B. Which of two antigens, Rh+ or Rh-, are located on the surface of the erythrocytes.
C. Which of the two antigens, A or B or both, are located on the surface of the erythrocytes.
D. Whether or not the Rh antigen is found on the surface of the erythrocytes.
E. The blood type depends on both C and D.
Feedback:The ABO part of the blood type depends on which of the A and B antigens, or both, or
neither, are found on the surface of the erythrocytes. Whether the blood is Rh+ or Rh- depends on
whether or not the Rh antigen is present.

Which of the following is/are true about the amount of oxygen being carried by RBCs?
A. Percent saturation of oxygen in the blood is normally monitored using a device known as a
pulse oximeter.
B. The normal pulse oximeter readings range from 95--100%.
C. Lower pulse oximeter readings, e.g. less than 95%, are indicative of the condition named
hypoxemia.

What is the typical lifespan of a leukocyte?
A. The lifespan of a leukocyte typically is measured only in hours or days.
B. Many leukocytes can live indefinitely if they are in well-protected locations.
C. Because all leukocytes are unable to undergo mitosis (cell division), their lifespan is usually only
a few seconds.
D. The lifespan of a leukocyte is extremely variable, measuring in hours to years or decades.
E. The lifespan of a leukocyte is approximately 120-150 days.
