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.
3. What are chambers (i) C, and (ii) D?
4. What are chambers (i) G and (ii) H?

With a schematic diagram, explain the overall process of respiration.

What is the difference between excretion and defecation? Explain the process of excretion in humans.

1. Draw a sectional view of the human heart and label on it: Aorta, Pulmonary arteries, Vena cava, Left ventricle.
2. Why is double circulation of blood necessary in human beings?

1. Name the organs that form the excretory system in human beings.
2. Describe in brief how urine is produced in human body.

1. Mention any two components of blood.
2. Trace the movement of oxygenated blood in the body.
3. Write the function of valves present in between atria and ventricles.
4. Write one structural difference between the composition of artery and veins.

Each and every respiration organ is structurally specialised in its function. Justify with examples.

Suggest a suitable reason for the heart having four separate chambers.

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.
3. Name one substance (other than oxygen) which is transported by tissue A in the human body.
4. Which two components of tissue A are the cells without nucleus?
5. Name any two organisms (animals) which do not have liquid like A in their body.

When a person puts food in his mouth, then teeth cut it into small pieces, chew and grind it. The glands A in the mouth secrete a substance B which is mixed with the food by tongue. The substance B contains an enzyme C which starts the digestion of food in the mouth. The slightly digested food from the mouth goes down a tube D. The special type of movements E in the walls of tube D push the food into stomach for further digestion. The stomach wall secretes gastric juice containing three substance F, G and H. One of the functions of F is to kill bacteria which may enter the stomach with food. The substance G protects the inside layer of stomach from the damaging effect of substance F whereas substance H is and enzyme for digestion. The partially digested food then enters into small intestine for further digestion.

1. What is Gland A, Substance B and Enzyme C?
2. Name the tube D.
3. What is the movement E known as?
4. What are F, G and H?
