  • what is the rarest blood type a person can have?

  • @2sistersluv2rd According to my Anatomy notes it would be AB-

  • man this guys voice is irritating

  • THIS REALLY HELPS ON MY STUDIES!!! THANKS SO MUCH!

  • i m not able to download this video

  • not bad, can understand better...

  • I dont understand one thing.. If blood group O has AntiBody A and B, then how can they become universal donors?? Blood gp antibody A and B in "O" Donor can cause Rx with Antigen A and B in Receipient A and B blood types..

  • Comment removed

  • @nilanjana96, how can you remove 100% of plasma from RBCs Packet cell volume?

    anyway, your answer didnt justify :-)

  • @jjdoctor401 If packed cells are transfused, there is little problem, since the type O blood is centrifuged and the plasma is removed.

    If whole blood is transfused, the type O blood is diluted by the recipient's blood, so the problem is still there, but not significantly IF the amount transfused is not too large. Note that cross-transfusions are only done in emergency situations

  • @jjdoctor401 because type O blood, doesnt have any antigens attached to the RBC, so it doesnt matter who get's their blood, antibodies have nothing to attach to ;)

  • @vancouverkiz Blood group O has both antibody A and B to attach to antigen A and B ...thats what video shows and thats y O type cant be transfused A and B...

  • @jjdoctor401 i thought you asked why type O is a universal donor? that's why, cause they dont have antigens, (not A or B). All blood types can get their blood, cause there are no antigens for them to attach to. BUT type O are not universal recepients, tye AB are. Type O cant cause reaction because again, They have NOTHING on the RBC for anybodies antibodies to attach to : . agglutination cant happen

  • @vancouverkiz yes I asked how come blood type O is universal donors when O type have both antibody A and B... still no answer...

  • @jjdoctor401 ok, I DID answer that question. Let me know which part you are having difficulty with. It's not what antibody there is that is affecting, but its the antigens (attached to RBC) that determines the factor. Type O blood, DOES NOT HAVE any antigen attached to the red blood cell, so when you tranfuse, it doesnt matter what the recepient has in their blood, A or B or apples or oranges, there is still NO antigen on the RBC of the type O donor, for any agglutination to occur.

  • @jjdoctor401 When transfusing whole blood, the donor and recipient blood have to match perfectly. When transfusing PRBCs, O is the universal donor and AB is the universal recipient because PRBCs do not contain plasma. The plasma has been removed, so there are no antibodys to agglutinate cells. Thats the difference between whole blood and PRBCs. Antibodys are found only in the plasma of blood. Antigens are found only on the surface of the red blood cells themselves.

  • Very informing. Thanks

  • its the antigen of the WBC not the RBC -.-

  • makes sense thanks

  • Please don't post this baby noob shit. Please post something on Kidd, Kell, and Duffy so I understand that a bit better please.

  • fucking stupid to understand
