Cards by Holy Grail, based on this note- Multiple choiceA patient with blood group A is given a transfusion of group B blood. Predict what happens.AThe patient's anti-A antibodies bind to A antigens on the donated cellsBNo reaction occurs because group B blood carries no antigensCThe donated red blood cells release fibrinogen and form a clotDThe patient's anti-B antibodies bind to B antigens on the donated cells, causing agglutination
- Multiple choiceThe muscles of the left ventricle contract, so pressure in the left ventricle rises above the pressure in the aorta. Predict what happens to the valves on the left side of the heart.ABoth the bicuspid valve and the aortic semi-lunar valve are forced openBThe aortic semi-lunar valve is forced open and the bicuspid valve is forced shutCBoth the bicuspid valve and the aortic semi-lunar valve are forced shutDThe bicuspid valve is forced open and the aortic semi-lunar valve is forced shut
