  • Beautifully informative! It's one thing to teach, but to immerse your intended audience in the environmental visuals related to the subject matter gives a curious mind a setting in which to project that information. A visual field trip!

  • I took some notes on your presentation for myy science fair related blood project thank you so much for the info...

  • @budgiebreder HEY I STILL EXIST TY XO

  • @Liaram66 I have B Rh- blood. around the world this is the second least common type of blood. i donate too :D

  • @SuperJonesable i've confused myself in that old comment haha i don't even know what i was saying. i completly understand what you said though idk what i was thinking that day?

  • @budgiebreder AB has both A antigen and B antigen on the surface of most cells (especially Red Blood Cells). An O type person would have neither of those antigens.

    However I believe you may be confusing antibody production with present surface antigens.

    A type blood has B antibodies in plasma

    B type blood has A antibodies in plasma

    AB person has neither

    O has both A and B (sometimes even an AB) antibody present in plasma.

  • @FlutieTutie0705 well without antibodies blood typing wouldn't work at all lol

  • I have a question : I am doing a science fair project called "how do antibodies effect Blood typeing" my concern is how do I test this project....I LOVE the video by the way! ITs great!

  • I have "A" Rh- blood,there's always deficiency of it here in Hungary,that's why I donate blood as often as I can.

  • you'd think they'd call "ab". "o" and "o", "ab" coz o had both but then it does work either way i just learned that thx!
