Blood Types (Blood Groups)

In this video, Dr Mike explains blood types and blood transfusions (who can donate blood and who can receive blood?)

You are my saving grace Dr. Mike! You have been able to simplify seemingly difficult topics and present material in a captivating way. I have learned more from your videos than from any professor during my entire undergrad. You have a gift for teaching and we thank you!!

I literally don't need to study this currently, but I just had to click on this during my exam study to acknowledge your magnificent hair. Okay, back to the neuromuscular junction video now....

[devansipatel]

you are nothing but simply a savior. I loved how you simplify the things and explain. you have god-gifted talent.

[rahulmeena-pkxg]

This is the real way of teaching to make things simpler and understandable to the listener.

The art of teaching! You have got it - saving student's time big time - very clear concepts in less time -

[therealwalterwhite]

legit best channel saved my life over and over again! you explain in a gracefully manner that everyone can understand! wish you were my professor i love the videos keep it going !!

Amazing how he simply uses "flag" and I understood what my professor took hours to explain.

I am watching this during brushing of my teeth 😁😁
My morning video
Good morning sir

I love your videos! They are the prerequisites for all of my other learning in advanced A and P. I love how clear you are and how you get right to the point with no time or words wasted!

Dr. Mike,
While I appreciate you simplifying this topic, what you said about the Rh blood group is not true. You do not automatically have antibodies to Rh factor (D). This is unique to the ABO system (class IgM). I know you are trying to keep this simple for them, but often times when someone is bleeding out and needs a massive transfusion, they will use O+ blood. This is due to the lack of O- blood available. I do feel as this portion of your video was a little misleading, however I love your videos. I love how you keep each topic simple.

Ty sir. Was searching for a good explaining video about that topics. Not only this is well explained, I'm a huge fan of GOT. Your just got subscriber sir. Keep up the good work. Tyvm.

[cristineconner]

Best explanation ever! I finally get it! Thank you!!!

[sekhanichola]

This is so very easy to understand... This guy really knows what his talking about🤍

[ruweydaaden]

Your hair looked better before, but change is good. Love your lectures btw.

[wenimechaindasuma]

I was wondering how blood worked and tried to find an easy explanation and you explained it really well ^^

[saldixon]

I don't know why professors can't teach this way. It makes learning much more straightforward. May online class is read, and test; very little is taught, and it is regurgitated from the book when they try to teach.

I have an idea for a new video for you. Do a video on the rare blood type, cis-AB. This blood type which is the result a rare mutation is generally the same as a normal AB blood type in regards to the transfusion compatibilities etc, The difference in the cis-AB blood type from a normal AB type is in how it's constructed. Normal AB blood types as you know, inherit an A allele from one parent and a B allele from the other parent. But one of the two alleles in the cis-AB type person is an AB allele all its own. (Both the A & B versions of a blood type gene are found on one Allele). So, a person who has this blood type possess one allele being AB and the other allele being any of the other normal ABO types. This mutated cis-AB allele will dominate the other allele type no matter what type it is, resulting in the person always presenting as having AB type blood. One unique thing about a cis-AB person is that if for example, the genotype version combination of that person is the cis-AB allele and an O allele, that person could actually possibly parent a type O child if the other parent also possessed an O allele, which is something that would be impossible with a normal AB phenotype because a normal type AB person only has an A allele and a B allele to work with. The cis-AB blood type is very, very rare around the world, but is mostly found in the Korean and Japanese populations, But even in those populations it reaches a frequency of only 0.035% in Korea and 0.0012% in Japan.

Fantastic explanation! Love your hair! 😊

Such a beautiful explanation! Keep it up Dr. Mike! :D
