- 2. These cells are found in the bone marrow that responsible for the everyday production and release of platelets.
- 4. The positive or negative sign in blood groups. It is a protein on the surface of red blood cells.
- 8. Scientific name for white blood cell (or immune cells).
- 9. This blood group has the A antigen on the surface of their red blood cells and contains antibodies against the B antigen.
- 11. During blood transfusions, if the wrong blood group is given, blood can clump together.
- 13. This blood group has both A and B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells and does not contain any antibodies against either A or B antigen. Known as the "universal receiver."
- 14. This blood group has the B antigen on the surface of their red blood cells and contains antibodies against the A antigen.
- 17. The type of this determines which blood types may be safely donated during a blood transfusion.
- 18. The movement of cells, particularly white blood cells, through the walls of capillaries into tissue due to damage, infection, or inflammation.
