    Study Notes

    Universal Donor

    • Blood group O negative is considered the universal donor.
    • This is because individuals with O negative blood do not have A, B, or Rh antigens on their red blood cells, making their blood compatible with those of all other blood types.

    ABO Blood Group System

    • The ABO blood group system is determined by the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells.
    • Antigens are substances that can trigger an immune response.
    • There are two primary antigens (A and B) and two blood groups (O and AB) in the ABO system.
    • Individuals with type A blood have only the A antigen on their red blood cells, while type B individuals have only the B antigen.
    • Type AB individuals have both A and B antigens, while type O individuals have neither A nor B antigens.

    Blood Transfusions for Type AB Individuals

    • Individuals with type AB blood are considered universal recipients
    • They can receive blood from all blood types
    • This is because they have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells and therefore do not produce antibodies against either antigen.

    Most Common Blood Type

    • O positive is the most common blood type in the population.
    • O negative is the least common blood type.

    Rh Factor in Blood Typing

    • The Rh factor is an antigen found on the surface of red blood cells.
    • Rh positive (Rh+) individuals possess the Rh antigen, while Rh negative (Rh-) individuals lack it.
    • Rh factor is a critical factor in blood transfusions and pregnancy.
    • Rh-negative individuals can develop antibodies against Rh-positive blood if exposed to it, leading to complications.
