Q17. Why valves present in veins?

Ans. Valves are present in veins to prevent back flow of blood in tissues.

Q18. Enlist the functions of blood.

Ans .

(i) It transports substances like digested food from the small intestine to the other parts.

(ii) It carries oxygen and carbon dioxide to their respective organs and tissues It transports wastes for removal from the body.

Q19. Name the term for transport of food from leaves to other parts of plants.

Ans. Translocation

Q 20. Name the type of blood vessels which carry blood from organs to the heart.

Ans.  Veins.

Q. 21. why do the arteries have thick elastic walls?

Ans:When the blood is pumped by heart toward cell , it comes at very high pressure and to withstand that high pressure the arteries have thick and elastic walls.

Q.22. : Describe the function of the heart.

Ans: 1. Heart is triangular shaped organ. It is made up of cardiac muscles and is located between the lungs inside chest cavity.

2. It beats 60 to 80 times per minute throughout life. It pumps blood to all parts of the body. 

3. The heart has four chambers. The top chambers are called auricles (or atria) and the lower two chambers are called ventricles. 

4. The left chambers are completely separated from right side by a partition called septum. The chambers contain valves which allow the flow of blood in one direction only.

5. The right auricle receives carbon-dioxide rich blood from various parts of the body. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs. Inside lungs, carbon-dioxide is exchanged with oxygen.

6. The left auricle receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs.The left ventricle pumps this blood to the rest of the body.

Q.29. Explain form and function of urinary system in man?
Ans: Urinary system consists of Kidney, The ureters, the urinary bladder and the urethra.

The Functions of the Urinary System:

The kidneys regulate blood volume and composition, help to regulate blood pressure and pH,participate in red blood cell production and synthesis of vitamin D, and excrete waste products and foreign substances. The Nephrons tubule is the functional unit of the kidney.

The ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.

The urinary bladder stores urine and expels urine into the urethra,

The urethra discharges urine from the body.

Q.30. What is dialysis? Explain.

Ans: Dialysis is the artificial process of getting rid of waste and unwanted water from the blood by dialysis machines.

Dialysis machines contain a tank with solution of water glucose and salt. Patient’s blood allowed passing through solution for removal of waste. the cleaned blood pumped to vein. The dialysis continues till all blood has been purified.

Q.31. Write the two functions of kidneys.

Ans. Osmoregulation and excretion.

Q.32. How does osmoregulation control water and salt content of the body?
Ans: Water content is controlled by water loss from:

• the lungs when we exhale
• the skin by sweating
• the body, in urine produced by the kidneys

Salt content is controlled by loss of ions from:

• the skin by sweating
• the body, in urine produced by the kidneys

Q.33. Differentiate between osmoregulation and excretion

Ans : Excretion is the elimination of metabolic waste products from the body.

Osmoregulation is regulating osmotic pressure of the body fluids by controlling the amount of water and salts in the body

Q.34 Why is heart known as the pumping organ of the human body?

Ans Heart is the pumping organs of a human body as it continuously act as a pump for transporting blood to all body parts. Heart pumps carbon-dioxide rich blood to lungs and oxygen rich blood to rest of the body.

Q.35 What is the significance of dividing heart into different chambers?
Ans. The division of heart into different chambers ensures that there is no intermixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. This ensures a better efficiency of circulation and transportation of oxygen.
