ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Rh factor is an inherited protein that can be found on the surface of the red blood cell. If your blood type is positive, then your blood cells have the Rh protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is because an Rh-positive blood transfusion can cause a person with Rh negative blood to make antibodies against the Rh factor, causing a transfusion reaction (discussed below). If an Rh-negative woman makes antibodies like this, it can seriously harm any Rh-positive babies she may have in the future.

Detailed explanation-3: -To a person with Rh-positive blood, Rh-positive or Rh-negative blood can be given. But people with Rh-negative blood should only get Rh-negative blood. O negative blood is universally accepted and can be given to any other blood type.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rh sensitization can occur during pregnancy if you are Rh-negative and pregnant with a developing baby who has Rh-positive blood. If your blood mixes with the Rh-positive blood of your baby, you can develop antibodies against your baby’s blood.
