Answer:
The skeletal system is vital in supporting the immune system because : Bones contain marrow, a porous material which creates both white and red blood cells. This replenishment of cells allows the body to fight and expel harmful bacteria, environmental toxins, foreign material e.t.c.
The white blood cells formed by the marrow are instrumental in isolating and destroying harmful particles (either on the site or in lymph nodes), or transporting them to the kidneys or bowels for excretion.
NOTE : Some people have marrow disorders which prevent their marrow from forming new cells; this is caused most often by cancer. Today, it is possible to transplant marrow from a healthy individual to a sick patient, and so help their bone marrow form new white and red blood cells to fight their sickness.
I hope it helps :)
Answer: Systolic pressure.
Explanation:
Every time the heart beats, it pumps blood into the arteries, which are vessels through which blood circulates from your heart to your tissues with the oxygen and nutrients they need. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries, and is highest when the heart beats, pumping blood, which is measured as systolic pressure (i.e., when the heart contracts). On the other hand, diastolic blood pressure refers to the pressure of blood in the artery when the heart relaxes between beats (i.e., when the heart relaxes). Since there are two types of pressures, blood pressure readings are given in two numbers, with the top number being the systolic pressure and the bottom number being the diastolic pressure.
For example, if the systolic pressure measured in a person is 125 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and the diastolic pressure is 85 mm Hg, the blood pressure is recorded as 125/85.
So, <u>the systolic blood pressure is registered with the stethoscope when the cuff is deflated.</u> When two heartbeats are heard, the pressure gauge reading is recorded. <u>When the heartbeat ceases, the cuff pressure is released and the diastolic pressure is measured at this time.</u>
