Explain what is meant by tissue typing. Why has this become so important in recent years? 3 points) A tissue type test is a blood test that measures substances called antigens on the surface of tissues. Checking the antigens can tell if donor tissue is compatible to transplant to another person. Antigens can tell the difference between normal body tissue and foreign tissue (for example, tissue from another person’s body). The SUccess of a transplant depends on how closely the antigen patterns match. The antigen patterns are most likely to be similar when the donated organ or tissue comes from a close relative of the person.

He is scared and confused about what the tumor is and how it got there. How should you explain to Bob what a tumor is and how it develops? An abdominal tumor is al growth that occurs in the abdomen. It can cause visible swelling and may change the shape of the abdomen. Abdominal masses are often treatable. Sometimes, health complications may arise depending on the cause of the mass.
