ABO Blood Type

What you learn

Simulation Ages 12–16

Play this biology game and see what happens.

Blood types A, B, AB, and O

Human blood is grouped into types A, B, AB, and O based on tiny markers on red blood cells.

Type A has A markers, type B has B markers, type AB has both, and type O has neither.

Safe transfusions

If you receive blood with the wrong markers, your body may attack it. Doctors match types carefully before a transfusion.

Type O red cells can often be given in emergencies because they lack A and B markers.
