The human body contains multiple blood group systems, which are genetically determined classifications of blood based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). These systems are important in transfusion medicine, organ transplantation, forensic science, and in understanding susceptibility to certain diseases. The most well-known and clinically significant blood group systems are the ABO and Rh systems, but over 30 recognized systems exist, each with their own unique antigens and inheritance patterns. This answer provides an in-depth overview of the major and minor blood group systems with relevance to applied physiology. 1.

It is determined by the presence or absence of two antigens, A and B, on the surface of RBCs. * Type A: Has A antigens on RBCs and anti-B antibodies in plasma. * Type B: Has B antigens and anti-A antibodies. * Type AB: Has both A and B antigens but no antibodies, making it the universal recipient. * _________ ___ _____ __________ _________ ___ ______ ___ ____.
