About the Blood Typing Game
Summary
What are the different blood groups in the AB0 and Rh blood group systems?- What antibodies and antigens occur in the blood of different blood types?- Blood typing - how do you find out to which blood type someone belongs?- Who can receive blood from whom in a blood transfusion?- What happens if someone is given the wrong blood in a blood transfusion?
This educational game is about human blood types, blood typing and blood transfusions.
Experiments with blood transfusions, the transfer of blood or blood components into a person's blood stream, have been carried out for hundreds of years.
There are many other genetically determined blood group systems known today, but the ABO and Rh blood systems are the most important ones used for blood transfusions.
In reality a person with Rh- blood can develop Rh antibodies in the blood plasma if he or she receives blood from a person with Rh+ blood.
In the game one has to pretend that all patients with Rh- blood type has received Rh+ blood in previous blood transfusions.
