Mixing blood from two individuals can lead to blood clumping or agglutination. (blank)

blood clumping was an immunological reaction which occurs when the receiver of a blood transfusion has antibodies against the donor blood cells. (blank)
Karl Landsteiner's work made it possible to determine blood types and thus paved the way for blood transfusions to be carried out safely. (blank)
adult human has about 4–6 liters of blood circulating in the body. Among other things, blood transports oxygen to various parts of the body. (blank)

There are more than 20 genetically determined blood group systems known today, but the AB0 and Rh systems are the most important ones used for blood transfusions. (blank)
