Blood group B
Blood group B. Computer artwork of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the shape of the letter B. This represents blood group B. There are four blood groups, A, B, AB and O, each determined by the presence or absence of carbohydrate molecules (antigens) on the surface of red blood cells. There are two types of blood group antigen; A and B. The lack of any antigen gives blood group O. If an incompatible blood type is given during a transfusion it can cause fatal immune reactions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of blood group B. In this computer artwork, red blood cells elegantly form the shape of the letter B, symbolizing this specific blood group. The image represents one of four distinct blood groups: A, B, AB, and O. These classifications are determined by the presence or absence of carbohydrate molecules known as antigens on the surface of red blood cells. The two types of antigens responsible for determining a person's blood type are labeled as A and B. Interestingly, individuals lacking any antigen exhibit blood group O. It is crucial to note that transfusing incompatible blood types can lead to severe immune reactions with potentially fatal consequences. This illustration not only highlights the biological aspect but also emphasizes its relevance in clinical settings such as medicine and health care facilities. Haematology experts rely on comprehensive tests involving these remarkable erythrocytes to determine an individual's precise blood group. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this visually striking representation through computer artwork. This mesmerizing image serves as a reminder of both the complexity and significance associated with understanding our own unique biology when it comes to matters concerning our precious life-giving fluid –blood.
