Question 1. In treating a woman for malignancy in the left breast, the surgeon removes some of her axillary lymph nodes. Following surgery, the patient experiences edema of her left arm. Explain why.
Question 2. Anti-B antibodies of a type-A mother rarely affects the RBCs of a type B fetus. Yet anti-D antibodies of an Rh- woman sometimes cross the placenta and hemolyze the RBCs of an Rh+ fetus. Explain this difference based on your knowledge of the five immunoglobulin classes.
