LABORATORY REPORT
Activity: Hematocrit and Hemoglobin Concentration and Blood Typing
Name: Theresa McDaris
Instructor: Adrea Kelley
Date: 08.06.2021

Predictions
1. When exercising subjects move from low to high altitude, Hct will
increase


2. When exercising subjects move from low to high altitude, Hb will
increase


3. Agglutination will occur
when type AB blood is mixed with anti-A serum
