Blood Questions 2

Blood has four main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. White blood cells provide the major defense against bacteria and viruses. The most common blood types in the ABO system are A, B, AB, and O, with O being the universal donor type. The Rh system involves Rh positive or Rh negative blood types, and problems can occur when a Rh negative mother carries a Rh positive fetus.
