Blood, Part 1 - True Blood: Crash Course Anatomy & Physiology #29

Now that we've talked about your blood vessels, we're going to zoom in a little closer and talk about your blood itself. We'll start by outlining the basic components of blood -- including erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, and plasma -- as well as the basic process of hemostasis that stops bleeding, and how antigens are responsible for the blood type that you have. By the end of this episode, you should be totally prepared for your next blood drive.

    Interesting fact: while the AB and Rhesus blood groups are the most common blood types for consideration with blood transfusions, there are actually dozens of different blood type groups, that all measure different things. For example, an individual can be AB, D positive, and at the same time M and N positive (MNS system), K positive (Kell system), Le^a or Le^b negative (Lewis system), and so on. ...It took me forever to memorize all of these in school :/ haha -Nathan

    I watch every single one of Crash Course's videos, and have for a couple years now. I want to say how absolutely expertly these series' are done. I would never, ever want to listen to anyone tell me about the things I learn on Crash Course. But the hosts of each of the series' have such a critical sense of not sounding arrogant nor condescending. I don't know how the group got together, but it's one of the very rare instances in human kind's history which will remain mysterious as far as how such a truly extraordinary group of people (each absolutely extraordinary and forward thinking in their own personal way, and through their own individual lives) found each other, chose to each make a go of this, and came together in such a cohesive, consistently unique, genuine, and somehow entertainingly knowledgeable way.

    Jerzy Majka Hey! So Rasputin was a holy man who became associated with the Russian royal family. The tsarevich, Alexei had hemophilia, so Rasputin was called in to heal the prince. It worked, the prince felt better and so from then on Rasputin became a recurring figure in the royal family, which was VERY controversial at the time. XD

    Four years too late, but the reason is because the Romanov family hired Rasputin, a holy man, to treat their son Alexei's (the heir of the throne of the Russian Empire) hemophilia. It worked, surprisingly. No one knows what he did exactly (he kept it secret because he wanted a reason to stay close to the family), but it is suspected that he removed something that was making him more ill (can't remember what) from his environment.

    8:50 actually the antibodies from the mother attack the baby, not the other way around, in most of the cases. To answer the obvious question of why on the Rh group matters in the case of mother to fetus blood contact it is because the antibodies against ABO antigens do not cross the placenta but Rh antibodies do.

    I've always been bothered by the concept of blood types. What are their real purpose? Because it seems that it only serves to identify foreign red blood cells and destroy them, but what practical purpose does it have? If I being O type receive B type, there is an immune response towards that foreign blood which is harmful to my body. But obviously nature wasn't thinking about blood transfusions when blood types evolved, so maybe if a little of foreign blood enters my body then the reaction isn't harmful (although I don't know in which scenario would this happen). But how would this be useful? I mean that having foreign red blood cells wouldn't be harmful, foreign bacteria and other pathogens would be, but those have their own antigens. So then what? Also it would seem that this system works towards other humans' blood only, since an O type has antibodies for A and B antigens, which would only be present on other people. And having the antigens certainly isn't necessary for our immune system to recognize our red blood cells since O type people live just fine. A final question would be how is it not a problem to transfuse O type blood. The blood contains antibodies for either A or B, so if either of them receive them, those antibodies will attack their red blood cells and should produce an immune response. So what's the deal? Does the immune response not happen or is O type blood always filtered of these antibodies?

    I may be too tired to understand most of what you are asking, but the last question is easy. Type O can donate to A and B because type O lacks any antigens. Antibodies are only present in the serum or plasma and most donations are packed red blood cells. Rarely is whole blood transfused. So in this instance you are only concerned with the antibodies of the recipient vs the antigens of the donor. Type A has B antibodies and Type B has A antibodies but it doesn't matter because there are no antigens on the surface of those red blood cells to react with those antibodies. Same reason type AB is the universal recipient. Since they have A and B antigens, they have NO antibodies, so they have nothing to attack antigens on the surfaces of any blood cell type.

    Kim Bishop oh so most of the transfusions done are red cells transfusions. That makes sense because it gets rid of the antibodies problem. Thank you. The rest of my questions were a bit more abstract because they refer to the evolutionary advantage of having different blood types. I've been thinking about it and it may be because it may provide more genetic diversity that could help with diseases, since if a blood type is weaker to a disease, not everyone would be at risk. The problems with transfusions would be more of a side effect. I don't know. If later you can read it again and possibly understand what I said and give me your thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it. :)

    Ciroluiro From my non-specialist understanding, the blood types are just a chance consequence of the antigen-antibody system. We evolved antigens and antibodies capable of detecting non-native antigens as a way of protecting ourselves from foreign bodies. Once that system was in place, it continued to evolve and diversify into many different kinds of antigens and antibody responses. So it's not so much that blood types evolved as a specific trait, but when we evolved antibodies, some of them happened to be specifically for blood cells, and as a consequence of that we got different blood types.
