Question
Describe double circulation in human beings. Why is it necessary?
✓
Answer
The double circulatory system of blood flow refers to the separate systems of pulmonary circulation and the systemic circulation.
The adult human heart consists of two separated pumps, the right side with the right atrium and ventricle which pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary circulation.
The oxygenated blood re-enters the left side of the heart through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium and passes to the left ventricle where it is pumped to the rest of the body. This part of the circulation is called as systemic circulation. This type of circulation is called double circulation. The advantage of a double circulatory system is that blood can be pumped to the rest of the body at a higher pressure.

An organic compound $A$ having the molecular formula $C _3 H _8 O$ is a liquid at room temperature. The organic liquid $A$ reacts with sodium metal to evolve a gas which burns causing a little explosion. When the organic liquid A heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at $170^{\circ} C$, it forms a compound $B$ which decolourizes bromine water. The compound $B$ adds on one molecule of hydrogen in the presence of Ni as catalyst to forms compound C which gives substitution reactions with chlorine.
a. What is compound $A$ ?
b. What is compound $B$ ?
c. What type of reaction occurs when $A$ is converted into $B$ ?

X, Y, and Z are three animals. The animal X can fly but animal Y can only run on ground or walls. The forelimbs of animals X and Y have the same basic design but they are used for different purposes such as flying and running respectively. The animal Z became extinct an long time ago. The study of fossils of Z tells us that it had some features like those of X and some like those of Y. In fact, Z is said to form a connecting link in the evolutionary chain of X and Y.
- What could the animals X, Y and Z be?
- What name is given to the forelimbs like those of X and Y which have the same basic design but different functions?
- Name one feature in which Z resembled X.
- Name one feature in which Z resembled Y.
- Which is the correct evolutionary chain involving X, Y and Z : X → Z → Y or Y → Z → X?

In the surgical method of birth control available for human females, the structures P in the reproductive system are cut and ligated (tied up) properly at both ends. This prevents the reproductive cell Q released by an organ R from entering the structures P so that Q is not available to fuse with another reproductive cell S coming from the male reproductive system. In this way, pregnancy is prevented.
- What are structures P?
- What is cell Q?
- Name the organ R.
- What is the reproductive cell S?
- What is the name of this surgical method of birth control available to females?
