Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In 1628, which physician first proposed the theory that blood circulates through the human body and is pumped by the heart?

Answer: William Harvey

William Harvey studied at Padua, Italy. Upon his return to England he married the daughter of Queen Elizabeth I's physician. He became court physician to her successor James I and to his son Charles I. He also was one of the first to suggest that human reproduction occurred when the sperm fertilized an egg.

2. Who released a popular 1969 album titled "Let It Bleed"?

Answer: Rolling Stones

Voted 69th best album in the Billboard "Best Albums of All Time", this classic set opens with "Gimme Shelter", includes the live favourites "Love In Vain" and "Midnight Rambler", and closes with "You Can't Always Get What You Want". It was Brian Jones' last outing with the Stones (he died the same year) and the first for his replacement, Mick Taylor.

3. In what year did Karl Landsteiner develop the ABO blood group classification system?

Answer: 1901

Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian biologist, received the 1930 Nobel Prize for Medicine for his lifesaving work in identifying blood groups. After World War I he lived in the Netherlands and then in the USA, where he died in 1943.

Answer: Rhesus factor

The rhesus factor is a particular problem if the mother is rhesus negative and the father is rhesus positive. The conflict can cause death or serious illness in infants. The overwhelming majority of humans are rhesus positive. However, the European Basques have the lowest proportion, approximately 65%.

5. Which band sang "Sunday Bloody Sunday" at the Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium, London in 1985?

Answer: U2

The opening track of the album "War", it was the third single released from the album, but failed to chart in the UK. It is about the infamous Bloody Sunday incident in Derry, Northern Ireland when British soldiers shot 27 civil rights protestors in 1972. Thirteen of the victims died immediately.

Answer: an arm full

Although he eventually gave an entire pint of his rare blood group, it was given back to him at the end of the episode. In that episode, he had an accident and needed a transfusion of the same rare blood group. This was one of the very best scripts by Galton and Simpson who went on to write the equally successful "Steptoe and Son".

7. Which fruit has a blood variety, where the flesh has a red colour and occasionally the peel is darker as well?

Answer: orange

The most common types of blood orange are the moro, tarocco, and the sanguinello. The red colouration is caused by anthocyanin or lycopene.

8. What are erythrocytes?

Answer: red blood cells

These cells contain haemoglobin and transport oxygen. They comprise about 45% of the volume of blood in humans.

9. What was the name of the most famous brand of theatrical blood, made in the village of Abbotsbury, Dorset, UK in the 1960s and 1970s? It became the generic name given to all stage blood.

Answer: Kensington Gore

Alfred Hitchcock famously used Bosco Chocolate Syrup in his 1960 film "Psycho". The movie was filmed in black and white and consistency was more important than colour.

10. Known for their rivalry with the Crips, the Bloods are a street gang founded in which US city?

Answer: Los Angeles

Not surprisingly, they often wear red clothing. They are not to be confused with the United Blood Nation, that was founded in Rikers Island prison, New York, in 1993.
