Figure 15 shows why it is that those with Group A blood can not receive Group B blood and vice versa. If a person receives group B blood and they have Group A blood, they will have a transfusion reaction and may die if it's not caught quickly enough. By doing this, reactions are minimized and may be treated with a high degree of success. Tragically, this is not what those ordering that test really want. That's where the communication screw-ups begin and they do not end, which is why all branches of health care are in the states of turmoil and disorganization they are today.
Platelets initiate a chain of reactions that lead to blood clotting.
The life span of a platelet is about 1 week because they are used up in blood clotting and they are too simple to carry on much metabolism. Sodium and chloride ions are the most plentiful.

Protein concentrations decrease due to starvation, liver damage and renal disease.
