D. Define the following terms. 2. Rh-factor 1. erythrocytes 3. deoxygenated blood 4. blood pressure
Answers
Answer:
1. Rhfactor- Rhesus (Rh) factor is an inherited protein found on the surface of red blood cells. If your blood has the protein, you're Rh positive. If your blood lacks the protein, you're Rh negative
2.erythrocytes - a red blood cell, which (in humans) is typically a biconcave disc without a nucleus. Erythrocytes contain the pigment haemoglobin, which imparts the red colour to blood, and transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the tissues.
3. deoxygenated - Deoxygenated is defined as oxygen has been removed. An example of deoxygenated is when oxygen has been removed from blood or water.
4. blood pressure - blood pressure for most adults is defined as a systolic pressure of less than 120 and a diastolic pressure of less than 80. Elevated blood pressure is defined as a systolic pressure between 120 and 129 with a diastolic pressure of less than 80

Answer:
Rh-factor: an inherited antigen found on the red blood cells of most people and certain other primates: those with this antigen are Rh positive while those lacking it are Rh negative , the determination of which is especially important when assessing blood-type compatibility for transfusions and pregnancy.
Erythrocytes: Erythrocytes means Red blood cells, also referred to as red cells, red blood corpuscles, haematids, erythroid cells or erythrocytes, are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate's principal means of delivering oxygen to the body tissues—via blood flow through the circulatory system.
Deoxygenated blood:Deoxygenated blood refers to the blood that has a low oxygen saturation relative to blood leaving the lungs. The oxygenated blood is also called arterial blood. The deoxygenated blood is also called venous blood.
Blood pressure:the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.
