1. ANATOMY Unit 3 Notes: Blood Typing

2. (1) Antigens and Antibodies
The protein ID tags on the surface of all cells.
Used to identify the different types of cells.
Determine blood type.
Antibodies:
The free-floating proteins in blood used to bind to, and identify foreign cells.
Antibody & Antigen Options:
A , B , Rh (“positive”)

3. (2) The Blood Types A , B , AB, O A+ , B+ , AB+ , O+
“Negative” Blood Types = Non-Positive

4. (3) Donating
Can donate to anyone who has AT LEAST ALL of the same antigens you have.
*The person you donate to could have MORE antigens than you, but they cannot have LESS.

5. (4) Receiving
Can receive from any person whose antigens will not match your antibodies.

6. (5) Type O Antigens = None Antibodies = A, B, and Rh Can Donate To:
All blood types 
They have zero antigens so no one’s body will detect it as foreign!
Can Receive From:
Only Type O
They have every type of antibody 

7. (6) Type O Positive Antigens = Only Rh Antibodies = A and B
Can Donate To:
All positive blood types 
They only have the Rh antigen so any positive types can take it!
Can Receive From:
Type O and O+

8. (7) Type AB Antigens = A and B Antibodies = Rh Can Donate To:
Can Receive From:
Type A
Type B
Type O

9. (8) Type AB Positive Antigens = A, B and Rh Antibodies = None
Can Donate To:
Only Type AB+
Can Receive From:
Type A and A+
Type B and B+
Type AB and AB+
Type O and O+

10. (9) Type A Antigens = Only A Antibodies = B and Rh Can Donate To:
Type A and A+
Type AB and AB+
Can Receive From:
Type A
Type O

11. (10) Type A Positive Antigens = A Rh Antibodies = B Can Donate To:
Type AB+
Can Receive From:
Type A and Type A+
Type O and Type O+

12. (11) Type B Antigens = Only B Antibodies = A and Rh Can Donate To:
Type B and B+
Type AB and AB+
Can Receive From:
Type B
Type O

13. (12) Type B Positive Antigens = B and Rh Antibodies = A Can Donate To:
Type AB+
Can Receive From:
Type B and B+
Type O and O+
