MCQ
Which one of the following animals has two separate circulatory pathways?
- ✓Whale
- BShark
- CFrog
- DLizard
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Whale
a
(a) : Whale is a mammal and in mammals, two separate circulatory pathways are found — systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation. Oxygenated and deoxygenated bloods received by the left and right atria respectively pass on to the left and right ventricles. Thus, oxygenated and deoxygenated bloods are not mixed. This is referred to as double circulation.

Given is the diagrammatic representation of impulse conduction through an axon (at points $A$ and $B$). View the diagram and arrange the steps of impulse conduction
→$I.$ The polarity of the membrane at site $A$ is reversed and depolarized, i.e., the outer surface becomes negatively charged and the innerside becomes positively charged, generating nerve impulse
$II$. A stimulus causes disturbance to the membrane at site of $A$ nerve fibre resulting in leakage of $N a^{+i i}$ ions inside the nerve fibre
$III.$ On the outer surface, current flows from site $B$ to site $A$ to complete the circuit of current flow. Hence, the polarity at the site is reversed, and an action potential is generated at site $B.$ The impulse (action potential) generated at site $A$ arrives at site $B .$ The sequence is repeated along the length of the axon and consequently the impulse is conducted
$IV.$ Immediately ahead, the axon $(e \cdot g .$, site $B )$ membrane has a positive charge on the outer surface and a negative charge on its inner surface. As a result, a current flows on the inner surface from site $A$ to site $B$
