Blood groups are classifications of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs)

ABO incompatibility is a common form of blood type mismatch that occurs when a person with one type of blood receives a blood product that contains another type of blood.

ABO incompatibility is a common form of blood type mismatch that occurs when a person with one type of blood receives a blood product that contains another type of blood.

The journey into the world of rare blood groups takes us back to Bombay, India (now known as Mumbai) in 1952. This is where Dr. Y.M. Bhende discovered a blood group that couldn't be classified into the known ABO system. This blood group, named the 'Bombay Blood Group' or 'hh' in honor of its origin, is one of the rarest in the world.

Bombay Blood Group

The discovery of the Bombay Blood Group has provided fascinating insights into the complexity of human genetics and blood types. While this blood group is extremely rare, those who have it can lead healthy lives by

Brachiation, or arm-swinging, is a type of arboreal locomotion where an organism moves by swinging from hold to hold using only its arms. This locomotor behavior is dominant in some primates and has captured the interest of anthropologists for its evolutionary implications.

Brachiation

Brachiation, derived from the Latin 'brachium' for arm, is a specific form of locomotion characterized by swinging from one handhold to another. It's commonly associated with certain primates, notably gibbons and siamangs.

Pseudohermaphroditism is a medical term for a complex group of conditions wherein an individual's reproductive organs and external genitals do not align with the typical definitions of male or female.

Hermaphroditism is a biological phenomenon where an organism possesses both male and female reproductive organs.

Skeletal Biology and Human Osteology

The human skeleton is a marvel of nature's design, simultaneously a support structure, calcium storehouse, and production site for red and white blood cells. As we journey through the fascinating realms of skeletal biology and human osteology,

Gene mapping, also known as genome mapping, refers to the process of determining the specific locations of genes on a chromosome. This task is integral to understanding the structure of the genome, which is essential for studying genetic diseases and individual genetic traits.
