Type A has B-antigens on the outside of the blood cells. Type AB has both A or B Anti-gens on the blood cells. Type O has neither on the outside of the blood cells. Antigens detect what type of blood cells surround them. If type A came into contact with type B they would create a clump. For this reason type AB blood can recieve blood from ANY blood type but only give to type AB.
