Human Blood Groups (book)

"Human Blood Groups" explains how our blood types are categorized based on specific molecules, called antigens, on the surface of red blood cells. These antigens determine compatibility for blood transfusions and are inherited genetic traits. The main blood group systems include ABO (A, B, AB, O), which are most known, and the Rh system (positive or negative). Understanding blood groups is essential for safe transfusions, organ transplants, and pregnancy management. The book details the discovery, inheritance patterns, and clinical significance of these blood groups, providing a scientific yet accessible overview of how blood type influences health and medical procedures.
