Summary Introduction
To review:
Compatibility between blood type O and blood type AB.
Introduction:
Red blood cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes are biconcave-shaped cells, which contains hemoglobin for oxygen transport. These cells lack nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, and other organelles. RBC transports oxygen from lungs to tissues as well as carbon dioxide from tissues to lungs. RBCs are produced in red bone marrow and have 120-day life expectancy. There are different blood types namely, type A, B, AB, and O and it is based on the presence of specific surface antigens present on plasma membrane of RBCs.
