What are individuals called if they have the Rh antigen on the red blood cell's surface?
Rh+
What is the natural status of Rh antigen in the plasma of both Rh- and Rh+ individuals?
They do not have Rh antigen in their plasma naturally
True or false: Rh+ individuals naturally have Rh antibodies in their plasma?
False
True or false: Rh- individuals cannot develop Rh antibodies in their plasma?
False
True or false: A person with Rh+ blood can receive blood from a person with Rh blood without any problems?
True
True or false: The classification of blood type is based on the presence and absence of antibodies and inherited antigenic substances on the surface of white blood cells (WBCs).
False
True or false: The antigens on the surface of red blood cells may be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, or glycolipids, depending on the blood group system.
True
True or false: Blood type is solely determined by the presence of antigens on the red blood cells and does not involve antibodies.
False
What determines the classification of blood type?
Presence and absence of antibodies and inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells

What are individuals called if they lack the Rh antigen on their red blood cells?
Rh-negative
Which blood type classification system is based on the presence of A, B, and Rh antigens on the surface of red blood cells?
ABO and Rh Systems
What is the blood type of an individual who naturally lacks Rh antigens on their red blood cells?
O-ve

No Rh antibodies
Study Notes
Blood Type Classification
- Blood type is classified based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells.
- Antigens on the surface of red blood cells may be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, or glycolipids, depending on the blood group system.
Rh Blood Type
- Individuals with Rh- blood lack the Rh antigen on their red blood cells.
- Individuals with Rh+ blood have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells.
- If an Rh- individual receives blood from an Rh+ individual, their immune system may produce antibodies against the Rh antigen, leading to an adverse reaction.
Natural Status of Rh Antibodies
- Rh+ individuals do not naturally have Rh antibodies in their plasma.
- Rh- individuals do not naturally have Rh antibodies in their plasma, but they can develop them after exposure to Rh+ blood.
Blood Type Classification Systems
- The ABO blood group system is based on the presence of A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells.
- The Rh blood group system is based on the presence of the Rh antigen on the surface of red blood cells.
- An individual who naturally lacks Rh antigens on their red blood cells has an Rh- blood type.
Immune Response
- Rh- individuals can develop Rh antibodies in their plasma after exposure to Rh+ blood.
- Rh- individuals naturally have anti-Rh antibodies in their plasma.
