Answer:

The traits for blood type and Rh are the result of the presence or absence of proteins on the outside of erythrocytes, called surface antigens, being the antigens A and B, for the blood group, and the Rhesus factor for the Rh.

Explanation:

<u>Blood group </u>

The blood type or group is determined by the presence or absence of antigens A and B, which is determined by three genes A, B and O:

  • Blood type A has antigens A, with a genotype A/A or A/O, which in turn is able to reject the presence of B antigen by producing anti-B antibodies.
  • Type B blood has only B antigens, with possible genotype B/B or B/O. It can produce anti-A antibodies.
  • The AB blood type has both antigens, with an A/B genotype, having both antigens do not react to the presence of an antigen.
  • Blood type O is characterized by the absence of surface antigens, and its genotype is expressed as O/O.

<u>Rh factor</u>

The Rh factor, which owes its name to the rhesus monkey study, is also a surface protein - the Rh antigen - that determines this characteristic in the blood.

The nomenclature used for this type of blood uses the signs "+" or "-" after the Type ABO, indicating the presence or absence of the Rh factor, respectively.

  • Rh+ blood has the Rh, D or Du antigen on the surface of the erythrocyte.
  • The Rh- doesn't possess the antigen, and is able to make antibodies against the Rh antigen.

The importance of knowing the presence or absence of erythrocyte surface antigens is that it determines the compatibility of blood type, and the possibility of transfusions. The ORh- blood type is currently known to be a universal donor and AB+ is a recipient of any blood type.

20. True ribs

Explanation:

  • The skull comprises the 8 cranial bones that house and protect the brain and 14 facial bones that protect the sensitive organs such as eyes, nose and mouth.
  • Out of the 14 facial bones, the mandible, maxilla, zygomatic and vomer along with the frontal bone are the primary bones of the skull.
  • The rib cage comprises of 12 pairs of ribs connected to the sternum, the main bone that anchors the rib cage, through the costal cartilage.
  • The ribs numbered 1 to 7 are called true ribs because costal cartilage connects these bones directly to the sternum.
  • The ribs 8 to 12 are classified as false ribs because they are not directly connected to the sternum.
  • The last two ribs 11 and 12 are called floating ribs because they do not connect to the sternum at all.
