Can someone who is of AB positive blood type receive other types of blood?

Only AB negative. If it's anything else, it won't work because the immune system targets unknown cells. If it only knows AS neg., then it will attack A or B. Whereas Blood type O is the "universal donor", it can be donated to anyone or anyone with it can receive blood from anyone. I forget why although i learned it in bio earlier this year


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.


What is the significance of knowing your blood group, particularly if it is A positive?

Knowing your blood group, especially if it is A positive, is important for medical reasons. Your blood group determines who you can donate blood to and receive blood from in case of a transfusion. It also helps in determining compatibility for organ transplants and can provide valuable information about your health risks and potential genetic conditions.


What blood type can A receive from?

Depending on whether you are A+ or A- you can receive different types of blood. If you have A+ blood you can often receive blood from A+, A-, O+, and O-. However, if you are A- you can only usually receive blood from A- and O-.


Which blood group is the universal donor?

Group O is the universal donor. The downside for people with type O blood is that although their blood can go to anyone with any type (A,B, or O), they can only receive type O for themselves. Luckily, O is common.
