RH positive blood can receive

Both RH positive and negative blood

Blood transfusion chart

Type O- can receive only O- Type O+ can receive O- & O+ Type A- can receive O- & A- Type A+ can receive O+ & O-, A+ & A- Type B- can receive O- & B- Type B+ can receive O+ & O-, B+ & B- Type AB- can receive O-, A-, B-, AB- Type AB+ can receive both A+-, B+-, AB+-, O+-

Mixing incompatible blood types can result in what reaction

aggultenation reaction is when the red blood cells connect together to form clumps much like large clots these can be fatal

type o known as the universal donor because it can donate to all of the other blood groups but

can only receive type O

Type O Blood

contains neither A or B antigen on the surface of its blood cell, but contains bot anti-a and anti-B antibody in its plasma

RBC can also contain the RH antigen (antigen D)

if an RH antigen is present the blood is RH positive if no RH antigen is present it is RH negative

if an RH- mom has an RH+ baby, if the blood mixes at birth mom can develope antibodies against RH+ blood. so if mom has a second pregnancy with an RH+ baby what happens

moms antibodies could attack the babies red blood cells this is called Hemolytic desease of the newborn.

RH negative blood can receive

only Rh negative blood

The blood type is determined by the

presence of antigens on the surface of red blood cells

Type AB is know as

the universal recipient because it can recieve all blood types A. AB, B and O

if someone with RH- blood recieves a transfusion with someone with RH+ blood

they can develope antibodies (anti RH antibodies) that attack red blood cells

It is important to learn about blood types

to avoid serious complications when blood is transfused

Type A blood has the

type A antigen on the surface of its blood cell, it also contains the anti-b antibody in its plasma

Type AB blood has the

type AB antigen on the surface of its blood cell, it also DOES NOT contain the anti-A antibody or anti-B antibody in its plasma

Type B blood has the
