Which of the following blood types is a universal recipient?

A.

Type AB positive

B.

Type O negative

C.

Type B negative

D.

Type A positive

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. Type AB positive blood is the universal recipient because individuals with this blood type can receive blood from all other blood types (A, B, AB, and O) due to the presence of both A and B antigens on their red blood cells, and the Rh factor being positive allows them to accept Rh-positive or Rh-negative blood. 

B. Type O negative blood is the universal donor, not the recipient. It can be given to any patient, but those with O negative blood can only receive from other O negative donors. 

C. Type B negative can only receive blood from B negative or O negative blood types, limiting its compatibility with other blood types. 

D. Type A positive individuals can receive blood from type A, type O, type B, and AB, but not as universally as AB positive, which is the universal recipient.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. The primary follicle is an earlier stage in the development of the ovarian follicle, not the structure that forms after ovulation.
B. The zygote is the result of fertilization, formed when the sperm and egg unite, but it does not form from the follicle after ovulation.
C. The corpus luteum forms from the remains of the follicle after ovulation. It secretes progesterone to support early pregnancy or prepares to degenerate if pregnancy does not occur.
D. The oocyte is the egg cell itself, which is released during ovulation, but it is not the structure that forms from the follicle after ovulation.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, meaning it generally reduces neuronal excitability and does not play a role in excitatory neuromuscular transmission.
B. Glycine is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter, mainly in the spinal cord, and works to prevent over-excitation of neurons, not directly involved in neuromuscular transmission.
C. Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter responsible for neuromuscular transmission. It binds to receptors on muscle cells, causing depolarization and triggering muscle contraction, thus playing an excitatory role.
D. Serotonin primarily functions in the brain to regulate mood, appetite, and sleep but does not play a direct role in neuromuscular transmission.
