C. SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS

Ch-8 The Circulatory System Goyal Brothers Prakashan ICSE Class-10 Biology Solutions

(Page-115)

Question 1. Define:

(i) Plasma

(ii) Pulse

(iii) Endothelium

(iv) Lymphnodes

Answer :

(i) Plasma is the largest part of your blood. It, makes up more than half (about 55%) of its overall content. When separated from the rest of the blood

(ii) rhythmic dilation of an artery generated by the opening and closing of the aortic valve in the heart. A pulse can be felt by applying firm fingertip pressure to the skin at sites where the arteries travel near the skin’s surface; it is more evident when surrounding muscles are relaxed

(iii) The endothelium is a thin membrane that lines the inside of the heart and blood vessels. Endothelial cells release substances that control vascular relaxation and contraction as well as enzymes that control blood clotting, immune function and platelet (a colorless substance in the blood) adhesion

(iv) Lymph nodes: Lymph nodes are bean-shaped glands that monitor and cleanse the lymph as it filters through them. The nodes filter out the damaged cells and cancer cells

Question 2. State the function

(i) Blood

(ii) Coronary artery

(iii) Thrombocytes

(iv) Lymphocytes

(v) Chordae tendinae

(vi) Neutrophils

Answer :

(i) transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues. forming blood clots to prevent excess blood loss. carrying cells and antibodies that fight infection. bringing waste products to the kidneys and liver, which filter and clean the blood

(ii) Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. Like all other tissues in the body, the heart muscle needs oxygen-rich blood to function. Also, oxygen-depleted blood must be carried away. The coronary arteries wrap around the outside of the hear

(iii) Thrombocytes are pieces of very large cells in the bone marrow called megakaryocytes. They help form blood clots to slow or stop bleeding and to help wounds heal. Having too many or too few thrombocytes or having platelets that don’t work as they should can cause problems.

(iv) Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. The main function is that they serve as part of the immune system. Their various functions allow them to properly respond to foreign invaders in the body and eliminate them. They produce specific antibodies

(v) The thread like tendons of papillary muscles, inserted upon the flaps of tricuspid and bicuspid valves are called as Chordae tendineae. It prevents the valves of heart from movement by holding the flaps tightly against the strong flow of blood. It allows the blood to flow in one direction only.

(vi) When microorganisms, such as bacteria or viruses, enter the body, neutrophils are one of the first immune cells to respond. They travel to the site of infection, where they destroy the microorganisms by ingesting them and releasing enzymes that kill them. Neutrophils also boost the response of other immune cells.

Question 3. List the differences between :

(i) Arteries and veins

(i) Erythrocytes and leucocytes

(iii) Bicuspid valve and tricuspid valve

(iv) RBC and WBC (Shape)

(v) LUBB and DUBB (names of the valves whose closure produce the sound).

Answer :

(i)

ARTERIES	VEINS
Functions
Involved in carrying oxygenated blood except for pulmonary arteries	Involved in carrying deoxygenated blood except for pulmonary veins
Walls
Consists of three distinct layers, which are rigid, thicker and highly muscular.	Consists of three distinct layers, which are thinner and less muscular.
Position
Located deep within the body.	Peripherally located closer to the skin.
Appearance
Red in colour.	Blue in colour.
Transports
Carry blood away from the heart to various parts of the body.	Carry blood towards the heart from the various parts of the body.
Rate of pressure
High pressure, as the blood flows by the pumping pressure of the heart.	Low pressure, as the blood flows by the capillary action of the veins.
Oxygen Level
Comparatively higher oxygen level.	Comparatively low oxygen level.
Carbon dioxide Level
The level of carbon dioxide is low	The level of carbon dioxide is high
The direction of Blood Flow
In the downward direction from the heart to the body tissues.	In the upward direction from the body tissues to the heart.
Lumen
Lumen is narrow.	Lumen is wide.
Valves
Valves are absent	Valves are present

(ii)

RBC – Red Blood Cells	WBC – White Blood Cells
Red blood cells are called Erythrocytes.	White Blood Cells are called Leucocytes or Leukocytes.
RBCs have a bi-concave disc shape	WBCs have an irregular shape.
Size varies from 6 – 8 µm in diameter.	Size varies from 12 – 17 µm in diameter.
The lifespan of RBC is about 120 days.	The lifespan of WBC is around 12-20 days after which they are destroyed in the lymphatic system
Red blood cells do not have a nucleus on maturity.	WBCs are characterized by the presence of a large central nucleus.
Due to the presence of haemoglobin, these cells appear red in colour.	These cells are colourless, as they do not have any pigment.
Only one type of RBC exists.	Different types of WBCs are found in the blood such as neutrophils, B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils.
They help in the transport of respiratory gases to different parts of the human body	They help in producing antibodies to fight against disease-causing microbes.
RBCs are produced in the red bone marrow	These cells are produced in the red bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.
The components of red blood cells are haemoglobin.	The components of white blood cells are antibodies with the presence of MHC (major histocompatibility complex) antigen cell markers.

(iii)

	Tricuspid valve	Bicuspid valve
i)	Present between right auricle and right ventricle.	Present between left auricle and left ventricle.
ii)	Has three flaps.	Has two flaps.
iii)	Also, known as right atrioventricular valve.	Also, known as mitral valve.

(iv)

Red blood cells are disc-shaped and biconcave; meanwhile, white blood cells do not have a defined shape

(v)

Lub	Dup
The lub sound is fairly loud due to the closure of the atrioventricular valves.	The dub sound is softer due to the closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves.

Question 4. When does the heart produce the sounds ‘LUB8 and ‘DUBB during heart beat?

Answer :

The first sound (the lub) happens when the mitral and tricuspid valves close. The next sound (the dub) happens when the aortic and pulmonary valves close after the blood has been squeezed out of the heart

Question 5. Give significance of hepatic portal system.

Answer : The hepatic portal vein carries 75% of the hepatic blood flow and hence is crucial. It is not a true vein as it does not conduct blood directly to the heart. It supplies veins with metabolic substrates. It also ensures that food ingested is processed by the liver first before entering the systemic circulation
