DOUBLE CIRCULATION

 DOUBLE CIRCULATION 



  1. The blood flows strictly by a fixed route through Blood Vessels—the arteries and veins. 
  2. Basically, each artery and vein consists of three layers: an inner lining of squamous endothelium, the tunica intima, a middle layer of smooth muscle and elastic fibres, the tunica media, and an external layer of fibrous connective tissue with collagen fibres, the tunica externa. 
  3. The tunica media is comparatively thin in the veins. 
  4. As mentioned earlier, the blood pumped by the right ventricle enters the pulmonary artery, whereas the left ventricle pumps blood into the aorta. 
  5. The deoxygenated blood pumped into the pulmonary artery is passed on to the lungs from where the oxygenated blood is carried by the pulmonary veins into the left atrium. 

  6. This pathway constitutes the pulmonary circulation. The oxygenated blood entering the aorta is carried by a network of arteries, arterioles and capillaries to the tissues from where the deoxygenated blood is collected by a system of venules, veins and vena cava and emptied into the right atrium. 
  7. The systemic circulation provides nutrients, O2 and other essential substances to the tissues and takes CO2 and other harmful substances away for elimination. 
  8. A unique vascular connection exists between the digestive tract and liver called Diagrammatic presentation of a standard ECG  hepatic portal system. 
  9. The hepatic portal vein carries blood from intestine to the liver before it is delivered to the systemic circulation. 
  10. A special coronary system of blood vessels is present in our body exclusively for the circulation of blood to and from the cardiac musculature.

AIR POLLUTION

AIR POLLUTION   We are dependent on air for our respiratory needs.  Air pollutants cause injury to all living organisms.  They reduce growth and yield of crops and cause premature death of plants.  Air pollutants also deleteriously affect the respiratory system of humans and of animals.  Harmful effects depend on the concentration of pollutants, duration of exposure and the organism.  Smokestacks of thermal power plants, smelters and other industries release particulate and gaseous air pollutants together with harmless gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, etc.  These pollutants must be separated/ filtered out before releasing the harmless gases into the atmosphere.  Electrostatic precipitator There are several ways of removing particulate matter; the most widely used of which is the electrostatic precipitator, which can remove over 99 per cent particulate matter present in the exhaust from a thermal power plant.  It has electrode wires that are m...

HUMAN CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

😎 Human Circulatory System 😎 Human circulatory framework, additionally called the blood vascular framework comprises of a strong chambered heart, an organization of shut fanning veins and blood, the liquid which is circled.  Heart, the mesodermal determined organ, is arranged in the thoracic hole, in the middle of the two lungs, marginally inclined to one side. It has the size of a held clench hand. It is ensured by a twofold walled membranous sack, pericardium, encasing the pericardial liquid.  Our heart has four chambers, two moderately little upper chambers called atria and two bigger lower chambers called ventricles.  A slight, solid divider called the interatrial septum isolates the privilege and the left atria, while a thick-walled, the between ventricular septum, isolates the left and the correct ventricles.  The chamber and the ventricle of a similar side are likewise isolated by a thick stringy tissue called the atrio-ventricular septum.  Notwithstand...

Digestive system

  DIGESTIVE SYSTEM 👉 This process of conversion of complex food substance to simple absorbable forms is known as DIGESTION.   👉 The alimentary canal opening the mouth and posterior/ending through the anus . MOUTH 👉 The mouth area is known as buccal cavity / oral cavity. 👉 The oral cavity has number of teeth and muscular tongue. 👉 Each tooth is embedded is a socket of jaw bone. This type of attachment is known as THECODONT. 👉 Majority mammals two set of teeth, set of milk/deciduous teeth replaced by a set of permanent/adult teeth . This is known as Diphyodont 👉 Adult human has 32 permanent teeth  which are 4 types Incisors (I), Canine (C), premolars (PM) and Molars (M). 👉 Dental formula 2123/2123 👉 The hard chewing surface of the teeth , made up enamel , helps in the mastication of food.  👉 The tongue is a freely movable muscular organ attached to the floor of the oral cavity by the frenulum .  👉 The upper surface of the tongue has small projec...
