- All humans do not have the same type of blood. In different types of blood, certain antibodies
and antigens may or may not be present. There are different systems for classifying blood, and
one of the systems is the ABO system. In this system, a person’s blood is classified as either type
A, type B, type AB, or type O. The purpose of this system is to describe which types of blood are
compatible. This means which types of blood can be taken from or given to a person. There are
three principles that govern which types of blood are compatible.
The first principle is that a particular blood type is always compatible with itself. This means, for
example, that a person with type A blood can receive type A blood and that a person with type B
can accept type B blood. It also means that a person with type AB blood can receive type AB
blood and that a person with type O blood can receive type O blood.
