Has your child asked you about your blood groups? The next question will be to know if you are compatible. The time has come to explain the compatibilities, why do humans have different types of blood. But let's do it in an entertaining way.
We are going to give you some basic notions and explanations of different levels so that you can choose the one best suited to the child's age and curiosity. Even you yourself will know the most probable personality that corresponds to your son, according to the Japanese, by his blood group.
How many blood groups are there?
Having one type of blood or another depends on genetics, on the information inherited from our parents. Blood is very dark red when it circulates through the veins and bright red in the arteries. One of the cells that compose it is a red blood cell or an erythrocyte, whose main function is to oxygenate the blood through hemoglobin.
Red blood cells also do other things like recover carbon dioxide and remove it from our body through the lungs. And very important, they serve to determine what type of blood we have. Like all cells, red blood cells have a membrane around them that contains different sugars or carbohydrates. There are 4 main groups: A, B, AB and O. We say main because there are actually about 34.
As if this were not enough we have to add the RH factor. The RH system is determined by a transmembrane protein, that is, it is inside the membrane. If you have it, it will be positive, if not, then negative. When you got pregnant you already knew about the importance of this factor.
Explain the compatibility of blood groups
With the picture you see above you can clearly explain their blood compatibility to your child, and also find out what blood type you and your dad have. We leave it here too:
- A is compatible with other A's and also with AB
- B is compatible with B and AB
- AB is compatible with AB, B, A and O
- O is compatible with O and AB
So that the child understands it even better it is convenient that you give examples, like this: If mom is from group A like dad, your son may be O. In any case, he can give mom and dad blood, but he can't receive from you. Also, your brother or sister may be A, with which you can give blood to your brother, but not the other way around.
You can go playing with him, so that he learns the compatibilities and know which family member you can give blood to or from whom. This regardless of HR. As you already know, the negatives can hit everyone, even those who are positive, but the positives only the negatives.
Curiosities about blood and its groups
Your son or daughter will love knowing some of these curiosities that will help them retain and learn what they have learned so far. For example, the first recorded human-to-human transfusion was made in the year 1818. Every second, the body produces 2 million red blood cells.
En The West predominates blood group OWhile in the East, blood groups A and B predominate. For example, in India 40% of people are type B, while in the United Kingdom only 10% are. The least frequent blood group is AB-, which represents less than 2% of the world population. And the most common the A + and O +.
According to Japanese popular culture blood groups also confer certain personal characteristics. For example, children who are A are more serious, creative, sensitive, and reserved. Those of type B blood tend to be cheerful, lively, passionate. BAs would be controlled, rational, sociable, and adaptable children. And Type O's are confident, optimistic, tenacious, and intuitive.
