What's your Blood Type?

I was supposed to write about this a long time ago right after we had this activity at Anatomy Lab class but I was so busy that I ended up forgetting about it until now. So we had a blood typing test during one of our anatomy class in the lab. And before I found out my real blood type, I've always thought I was a blood type O because according to what my mother she's type O and so as my father.Therefore I assumed the I was a type O too since both of them are. But after I did the test, I was totally surprised of what I found out. The result was not what I've expected. I wasn't a type O, but I'm actually a type B!

This is the photo of the blood type testing result. My blood agglutinates with the a drop of anti-B serum I mixed together with it. Type B blood contains antigen B, and only agglutinates with anti-B serum. So, this only meant that I'm really a blood type B person! I wonder if I took after my father?Maybe he's the one with a type B blood. Cause I know for sure my mother is type O. And if neither my father is type B, then I don't know where i got my blood type. hmmm..maybe i'm not really my parents daughter! maybe I'm actually adopted! How I wish.! But that would be impossible. Because it can't be denied that I looked like my mother and my other traits are taken after my father. *sigh*
Anyways, it doesn't matter. I'm my parents daughter for sure. I can't deny that fact myself..And I can't do anything about that.. As the saying goes, "you can't choose your parents, [ which is also true with the kind of family and life you are born into]."

Btw, here some photos of other blood types:


The first glass slide in this photo has a Blood type A. Type A contains antigen A therefore agglutinates only with anti-A serum.

The second slide is type B. Which contains antigen B, and agglutinates only with anti-B serum as I've mentioned before.

The third slide is a sample of a type O. It contains no antigen. Therefore it does not agglutinate with either Anti-A or Anti-B serum. Type O is also known as a "universal donor" . Which means type O people can donate their blood to other people with any blood type if it is needed. But type O can only receive type O blood too.

This last slide below is the last blood type which is type AB. Type AB is the opposite of type O. Which means that it contain both antigen A and antigen B. Therefore, agglutination occurs with both anti-A and anti-B serum. If type O is the universal donor, type AB is the "universal recipient". Type AB people can receive blood from any blood type. It can receive from type A, B, AB, and O.
