Blood types

●4 types of blood: A, B, AB & O

●Rh factor

○Rh+ refers to a person who is born with the Rh antigen on his or her red blood cells

○Rh- is a person who does not have the Rh antigen

●Example:

○A woman has A+ blood, this means she was born with both A antigen and Rh antigen
on her RBC

○A man is B-, he was born with B antigen but not Rh antigen

●A: 41 % of population

●B: 10% of population

●AB: 4% of population

●O: 45% of population

O- is universal type: can be transfused to any blood type

AB+ is the universal recipient: can receive all types

Multiple Choice

The universal blood type is

• O-

• B+

• AB+

• A-
