A liquid X of colour Y circulates in the human body only in one direction: from body tissues to the heart. Among other things, liquid X contains germs from cells and dead cells. The liquid X is cleaned of germs and dead cells by a special type of white blood cells called Z. This cleaned liquid is then put into blood circulatory system in subclavian veins.
  1. What is (i) liquid X and (ii) colour Y?
  2. What are Z.
  3. The liquid X is somewhat similar to a component of blood. Name this component.
  4. Why is liquid X not red?

  1. Lymph (X) is a light yellow colour (Y) liquid that circulates in the human body. It circulates from the body tissues to the heart. Hence, (i) the liquid X is lymph., (ii) The colour Y is light yellow.
  2. The liquid X (lymph) is cleaned of germs and dead cells by a special type of white blood cells called lymphocytes (Z). Lymphocyte helps in fighting infections and diseases. Thus, Z represents lymphocytes.
  3. The liquid X, i.e. lymph, is somewhat similar to plasma.
  4. The liquid X, i.e. lymph, is not red because it does not contain red blood cells that have red colour pigment called haemoglobin.

    An organism A which cannot move from one place to another, makes a simple food B from the substances C and D available in the environment. This food is made in the presence of a green coloured substance E present in organs F in the presence of light energy in a process called G. Some of the simple food B also gets converted into a complex food H for storage purposes. The food H gives a blue-black colour with dilute iodine solution.

    The human body has an organ A which acts as a double pump. The oxygenated blood coming from the lungs through a blood vessel B enters the upper left chamber C of the double pump. When chamber C contracts, then blood goes into lower left chamber D. The contraction of chamber D forces the blood to go into a blood vessel E which supplies oxygenated blood to all the organs of the body (except the lungs). The deoxygenated blood coming out of the body organs is taken by a blood vessel F to the right upper chamber G of pumping organ. Contraction of chamber G forces the deoxygenated blood into right lower chamber H. And finally the contraction of chamber H sends the deoxygenated blood into lungs through a blood vessel I.
    1. What is organ A?
    2. Name the blood vessel (i) B (ii) E (iii) F, and (iv) I.

    The liquid connective tissue A circulates in our body continuously without stopping. This tissue contains a pigment B which imparts it a colour C. The tissue A consists of four components D, E, F and G. The component D fights infection and protects us from diseases. The component E helps in the clotting of tissue A if a person gets a cut. The component F is a liquid which consists mainly of water with many substances dissolved in it and component G carries oxygen from the lungs to all the parts of the body.
    1. What is (i) tissue A, (ii) pigment B and (iii) colour C?
    2. Name (i) D, (ii) E, (iii) F and (iv) G.
