I donated blood, what is a blood type?
Blood type during donations is asked because it is critical that blood types are matched. There are 4 human blood types: A, AB, B, and O. AB and B people can only accept their own blood type and O. A can receive all three other blood types. O can only receive it's own. If you get the wrong blood type you can die.
What factors determine the compatibility of blood types for transfusion?
Blood type is determined by the type of antigen
Can people receive blood other than their own blood type?
People cannot receive blood that is completely different from their own. However, if you blood contains a certain type, or, even more so, if you are type O you are able to give to multiple blood types.
What type of blood is hard to find?
The O blood type is rare. Though it is rare, there are is also other positive and negative sides to having this blood type. The positive is that people with this blood type can be donors to people of any other blood type but the fact is they can only receive their own type.
What types of receipients can receive Type B blood?
Type O or type A broadly speaking. it also depends on other proteins found on the surface of donated blood cells such as rhesus proteins. someone can be rhesus plus or rhesus minus meaning they either have the protein or don't. You can only receive blood of the same rhesus type of as your own for example: A rhesus positive can only receive A rhesus positive or O rhesus positive

Why can people with this blood type receive blood from all other blood types?
Of course, it depends on your own blood type. The best is always to use the same as your own. But if need be, O negative is the universal donor and can be given to anyone. Notice that donor has two O's. This a good way to remember it. Type O can not receive anything but O. Type A can receive A and O. Type B can receive B and O. And AB can receive A, B, AB and O. AB is called the universal recipient.
What blood type is the universal receiver explain?
Universal receiver is O positive type blood. Individuals with type AB positive blood can also receive blood from any group, but can donate blood only to another AB type. A group A individual can receive blood only from individuals of groups A or O, and can donate blood to individuals with type A or AB. A group B person can receive blood only from individuals with groups B or O and can donate blood to types B or AB. Blood group O persons can receive blood only from a group O individual but can donate blood to individuals who have A, B, O or AB. This is why blood type must be carefully checked by medical personnel prior to authorizing a transfusion. Some people store up their own type in hospitals in case of accidents. Hospitals also keep all types on hand in the form of plasma, Plasma can be easily utilized on the battlefield.
If i got a transfussion what type of blood would I get?
You would get whatever blood type was most compatible with your own, either O or your own (Type A or B). Type O is compatible with every other type. If you are Type AB, however, you could receive blood from ANY of the other types.
Why can't O plus blood not receive Type A plus blood?
Blood type O has antibodies against Type A, B and AB. Transfusion would result in a massive allergic reaction to your own blood and quick death.
Can a person with blood type A be given to a blood type O plus why and why not?
No, someone can only be given blood with the same blood type as their own. If the wrong type is administered, it could be fatal.
Which blood type can donate to its own type but can receive from all?
AB cannot give blood to any other types, because it has both an A antigen and a B antigen. Type A blood has B antibodies, so it will fight with ABs B antigens. B has A antibodies, so it will fight with ABs A antigens. And O has A and B antibodies, so it would just fight AB in general. Thats why AB can only give to other AB types. Transfused into any other type, it would cause the blood to clump, which is very, very bad, and typically results in death without immediate treatment.
