A Rh negative patient cannot receive Rh positive blood as it will cause a antibody reaction to the donor plasma, but a Rh positive patient can receive Rh negative blood as the donor blood lacks the Rh antibody component.
PS the Rh factor is present on Red blood cells and not in Plasma
The difference between a gram positive and gram negative bacteria is the thickness/presence of the peptidoglycan layer secreted on the outside of the plasma membrane
positive and negative stands for either Rhesus Positive or Rhesus negative which means that a persons Red blood cells (RBC) either have D antigens on their cell surface membranes or not. a person who is Rhesus negative will have D Antibodies in the blood plasma and can only be given Rhesus negative blood types in a blood transfusion. Rhesus positive blood types can be given either D+ or D- in a blood transfusion as they have no D antibodies in their blood plasma. hope this helps
Just like any material, it may, or may not, be electrically neutral. What makes it a plasma is that many of its atoms are ionized - but of course the ionization process produces both positive and negative charges (the positive ions, and the electrons). If the original gas had a zero net charge, then (due to the law of conservation of charge) the resulting plasma will also have a zero net charge.
Gram staining is primarily used to differential bacteria based on their cell wall structure. Bacteria are usually classified as Gram positive or Gram negative. Gram positive - thick layer of peptidoglycan as outermost layer, plasma membrane as innermost layer. Gram negative - thin layer of peptidoglycan "sandwiched" in between 2 separate plasma membranes.
The resting membrane potential would become less negative (more positive).
It depends what you define as "Blood". Type AB, Rh positive recipients may receive whole blood (rarely used in modern transfusion medicine) from AB, Rh positive or negative donors. They may also (generally) receive red cell transfusions from any ABO and Rh blood type. They may receive platelets from any ABO, Rh donor type, but may require removal of residual incompatible plasma from the platelet product prior to infusion. An AB patient may only receive AB plasma. AB negative recipients may receive whole blood from an AB, Rh negative donor, red cells from any ABO, Rh negative donor, platelets from any ABO, Rh negative donor (with possible plasma reduction), and only AB plasma. Concerning the transfusion of Rh positive cellular components to Rh negative recipients; ABO compatible, Rh positive red cells may be transfused to Rh negative patients IF there are no compatible, Rh negative products available, transfusion cannot wait for units to be imported, anti-D antibodies are not present in the patient's plasma and the patient is a male, or a female of non-child bearing age.
In crossmatching you don't actually mix the whole blood samples. You will mix the red blood cells of the donor with the plasma of the patient. So if the patient is Rhesus positive, it wont have antibodies in the plasma against the Rhesus factor on the red blood cells of the donor. So a crossmatch with either a negative or positive donor will be allright. So in this case, it is indeed possible.
It depends on what blood component is to be transfused. If O, Rh negative whole blood is to be given, the patient may be O, Rh negative or O, Rh positive. If O, Rh negative red cells are to be transfused, the patient may be any blood type (generally).
Red blood cells? Absolutely. (if the antibody screen and crossmatch are both negative) Whole blood? No, there may be Anti-D in the O neg plasma.
Plasma is a neutral mixture of positive and negative ions some of which are mobile, e.g electrons in metals .
Plasma is a gas made of ionized atoms, so the gas almost always either positive or negative.
no , it is not possible
That sounds like a plasma. In a plasma, most of the atoms are ionized.
Usually, the total charge of plasma is neutral. Of course, there are exceptions. As the atoms are energized, electrons are released into the system. That release leaves a bunch of positive and negative charges.
Yes. Rh status is unimportant in transfusing plasma because Rh antigen are on red cells only. The amount of red cells in a unit of plasma is insignificant. If the unit looks orange-reddish, an Rh positive plasma should not be given to an Rh negative plasma if possible.
Type o negative and positive can donate to any blood type because it is the most interchangeable blood type i have people calling me all the time for my o neg blood and i love to donate when i can i love the fact that 1 pint saves 3 lives and you give a pint each visit it hurts the least out of donating plasma and bone marrow though
Plasma can't have a net overall charge, either positive or negative. If it did, it would blow itself apart, because the electromagnetic force is many orders of magnitude greater than the gravitational force.
