Transport for most dissolved substances in blood like nutrients, waste products and helps maintain body temperature. eT] Blood groups are determined by the antigens present on the or Pees A Antigens B Antibodies B Antigens A Antibodies A Antigens, B Antigens: A Antibodies, B Antibodies The Rhesus factor is an antigen found on the surface of the red blood cells called agglutinogen that most people have, which makes. them Rh-positive. Red blood cells without this antigen are Rh- negative. ‘The Rhesus factor can cause problem if a Rh-negative mother has more than one Rh-positive baby.

During systole, the heart muscles contract, pumping blood to the body and the lungs. ww 7 SM The heart beats, waves of pressure are felt along the main arteries. __ a Blood pressure can be measured using the sphygmomanometer. = 7 Lymph flows from the lymph capillaries into the lymph vessels and return into the blood circulatory system through the right and left subclavian veins, The Lymphatic System also function as Body Defence System, Drainage System, and Food Transport System. -The lymph nodes produce white blood cells which Body defence are important for protection against pathogens attack.| avMonn
