MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -B positive patients can receive blood from B positive, B negative, O positive and O negative donors.

Detailed explanation-2: -If you have type B blood, you can only receive type B or type O blood. You cannot receive type A or type AB blood. If you have type AB blood, you can receive all blood types. If you have type O blood, you can only receive type O blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -38% of the population has O positive blood, making it the most common blood type. O positive red blood cells are not universally compatible to all types, but they are compatible to any red blood cells that are positive (A+, B+, O+, AB+).

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood type has no effect on your ability to have and maintain a happy, healthy marriage. There are some concerns about blood type compatibility if you’re planning to have biological children with your partner, but there are options during pregnancy that can help counteract these risks.

Detailed explanation-5: -For example, if someone with Type O blood (blood with no A or B antigens on the surface of red blood cells) received red blood cells donated from someone with Type B blood (blood containing B antigens), the recipient’s immune system would immediately identify the new blood cells as foreign and seek to destroy them.
