Term
Blood typing
Definition
Classification of blood based on the presence or absence of antigenic substances on the blood.

Blood type (AB) RhD positive that can donate for any blood transfusion. Rh+ can receive + or Rh - can only receive - .

 

Term
Transfusion
Definition
The act of transferring donated blood, blood products, or other fluids into the circulatory system of an organism.
Term
James Blundell

AS Weiner
Definition
Worked with Karl Landsteiner to discover the Rh blood group system discovered in 1940.
Term
Rh Factor
Definition
Derived from the use of resuscitate monkeys in the basic test for determining the presence of the Rh antigen in human blood.
Term
Lastly Meyer test
Definition
Test used to detect human blood at a crime scene.
Term
Luminol test
Definition
Test method with a glowing effect used to detach trace amounts of blood at a crime science.
Term
Presumptive test
Definition
A chemicals test of phenolphthalein and hydrogen peroxide in which a colorless to pink color change indicates the presence of human blood.
Term
Blood spatter
Definition
Blood patterns used as clues and analyzed in the investigation of a crime scene.
Term
Blood samples
Definition
Evidence used to determine blood types, and DNA of suspects.

Definition

AA or AO=Type A, BB or BO=Type B, OO =Type O,

AB =Type AB

Term
Agglutinogens
Definition
Proteins that exist on the surface of your red blood cells. These are used in determining your blood type.
Term
Blood purpose
Definition
Carry oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Carries carbon dioxide and other waste products to the lungs, kidneys, and liver for disposal. Also fights against infection and helps to heal the body.
Term
Erythrocytes
Definition
Red blood cells  which are produced in the bone marrow, contains hemoglobin that carries oxygen to our cells, and are the most abundant cells in our blood.
Term
Leukocytes
Definition
White blood cells that are apart of the immune system that serves to destroy infectious agents called pathogens.
Term
Plasma
Definition
Portion of the blood that is yellowish liquid containing electrolytes, nutrients, vitamins, hormones, clotting factors, and antibody protein to fight infection.
Term
Thrombocytes
Definition
Platellets which are the clotting factors that serves to seal wounds and prevent blood loss.
Term
Coagulation
Definition
Clotting of blood to seal wound and prevent blood loss.
Term
