Blood Types

The ABO blood group has 4 blood types which include A,B,AB, and O

Type A- Have an antigen on the surface of red blood cells also have antibody B in their plasma
Type B- Have antigen B on the surface of the red blood cells. If an indiviual with type A blood is given type B blood the antibody B in the recipents blood will combine with the red blood cells of the donor blood due to the fact that those cells have antigen B on the surfaces
Type AB-Indiviuals with type AB blood have both antigen A and antigen B on the surface of their red blood cell they don't have antibody A or B in their plasma. AB blood donors are called universal recipents because most of them can accept all ABO blood types
Type O-Indiviuals with type O don't have antigen A or antigen B on the surface of the red blood cells. people with type O are called universal donors because their blood can be given to most people

Male Reproductive System

The male reproductive system is in charge of developing sperm, to discharge sperm within the female during sex and to produce and secrete male hormones for maintaining the male reproductive system most of the male reproductive system is located outside of the body. These external structures include the penis,scrotum, and testicles.
The head of the sperm contains 23 chromosomes and is covered with an enzyme filled sac called acrosome. the mitochondria (mid piece) generates the energy the cell needs to move. The tail is a flagellum that propels the sperm forward in the female reproductive tract
