Answer:

3. b. Systolic pressure

4. b. Body temperature

5. d. Clinical

Step-by-step explanation:

3. During the systole, the pressure of the blood in when the heart contracts is increased and it is known as the systolic blood pressure

4. Temperature is a measure of heat available in a body for transfer depending on the heat capacity of the body, therefore, the balance between heat produced and total heat lost is body temperature

5. The clinical thermometer is made up of mercury contained in a bulb at the end of a uniform and narrow glass tube. The increase in temperature of the mercury when the thermometer is in contact with an elevated temperature results in the expansion of the mercury which is observed when the mercury moves up the thermometer.
