  1. What are the Types of Blood Groups? Blood groups are classifications based on the presence or absence of certain antigens on the surface of red blood cells. These antigens are determined by our genes and are inherited from our parents. The two most important types of antigens that determine blood groups are ABO antigens and Rh antigens. Components of Blood Before diving deeper into blood groups, let’s understand the components of blood. Blood consists of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), plasma, and platelets. RBCs transport oxygen to different parts of the body, while WBCs play a vital role in our immune system. Plasma carries nutrients, hormones, and waste products, while platelets help in blood clotting. Types of Blood Groups There are four main blood groups: A, B, AB, and O. these groups are determined by the presence or absence of ABO antigens on the surface of red blood cells. Let’s explore each blood group in detail. Blood Group A Individuals with blood group A have A antigens on their red blood cells and B antibodies in their plasma. A person with blood group A can donate blood to individuals with blood groups A and AB, but can only receive blood from individuals with blood groups A and O. Blood Group B Blood group B has B antigens on the surface of red blood cells and A antibodies in the plasma. Individuals with blood group B can donate blood to individuals with blood groups B and AB, but can receive blood from individuals with blood groups B and O. Blood Group AB Blood group AB has both A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells but no antibodies in the plasma. People with blood group AB are universal recipients, meaning they can receive blood from individuals with any blood group. However, they can only donate blood to individuals with blood group AB. Blood Group O Blood group O is the most common blood group and does not have A or B antigens on the surface of red blood cells. However, both A and B antibodies are present in the plasma. People with blood group O are universal donors, as their blood can be transfused to individuals with any blood group. However, individuals with blood group O can only receive blood from individuals with blood group O. Keen on effortlessly mastering concepts, much like the detailed explanation provided earlier?
