Q2. Solve any four of the following: 12
1. Define respiration. Write the process of external respiration. (def 1
mark, explanation 2 marks)
Respiration is a process of supply of oxygen present in atmosphere into the
body & excretion for carbon dioxide.
External respiration- (cycle of breathing)
The normal human has 12-15 breath per min. Each breath consists of
inspiration, expiration & pause.
Inspiration: The simultaneous contraction of intercostal muscles &
diaphragm increases the capacity of thoracic cavity. This reduces the
pressure in the lungs. To equalise the pressure the air from atmosphere
enters the lungs. The process of inspiration is active as it needs energy for
muscle contraction. It lasts for 2 sec.
Expiration: Relaxation of intercostal muscles & diaphragm results in
decrease in the space in the lungs. As a result, the pressure inside the lungs
increases as compared to atmospheric pressure. The air from the lungs is
expelled from the lungs. This process is passive as does not require energy.
The expiration lasts for 3 sec. After expiration there is pause & then the next
cycle begins.

b) Write steps involved in urine formation. Describe selective reabsorption.

(steps 1 mark, explanation 2 marks)
There are three processes of urine formation:
1. Glomerular filtration
2. Selective reabsorption
3. Tubular secretion.
Selective reabsorption:
Selective reabsorption is the process by which the composition and volume
of the glomerular filtrate is altered during its passage through the convoluted
tubules, Loop of Henle and the collecting tubule. The purpose of this process
is to reabsorb those constituents of the filtrate which are essential to the
body, maintain the fluid and electrolyte balance and the alkalinity of blood.
 Some constituents of the glomerular filtrate e.g. glucose; vitamins and amino
acids get completely reabsorbed into the blood. These substances are called
high- threshold substances.
Low-threshold substances like urea, uric acid are absorbed slightly.
Some substances e.g. creatinine are not at all absorbed.(no-threshold
substances) Parathormone from parathyroid gland & calcitonin from thyroid
gland regulate reabsorption of calcium & phosphate,
ADH from posterior pituitary increases the permeability of the tubule &
increases water reabsorption.
Aldosterone by adrenal cortex increases reabsorption of sodium.

c) Name different type of blood group. Explain the term universal
donor and universal recipient. (name 1 mark, explanation 2 marks)
Different blood groups are: A, B, AB and O
Blood group “O” is called as Universal donor and Blood group “AB” is
called as
Universal recipient.
Individuals have different antigens on the surface of their RBCs. These
antigens determine their blood groups.
Blood group ‘O’ has neither A nor B antigen on their cell membrane. There
will be no agglutination and thus blood can be safely transfused into A, B, AB
and O. but can receive from only O.Therefore, blood group O is called
universal donor.
Whereas blood group AB has neither antiA nor antiB antibodies. Transfusion
of any group into these individuals is safe since there are no antibodies to
react with them. But can donate only to AB. Hence it is called as universal
recipient.

mark, explanation 2 marks)
Cardiac cycle: The events which occur in the heart during the circulation of
blood during each heart beat is called cardiac cycle OR The series of events
during one heart beat is known as cardiac cycle.
Events in cardiac cycle:
 Atrial systole (0.1 sec)
 Ventricular systole (0.3 sec)
 Complete cardiac diastole (0.4 sec)
 Description of cardiac cycle (2 marks)
The superior & inferior vena cava transport the deoxygenated blood into
right atrium. At the same time four pulmonary veins transport oxygenated
blood into the left atrium. The impulses from the SA node spreads over the
atria, atria contracts, the AV valves open and & blood flows to ventricles. (
atrial systole-0.1 sec)
When the wave of contraction reaches AV node, it is stimulated & emits
impulses which spreads over AV bundle, bundle branches & purkinje fibres
resulting in contraction of ventricles pumping the blood into pulmonary
artery & the aorta. (ventricular systole 0.3 sec). After the contraction of the
ventricles there is complete cardiac diastole(0.4 sec) when both atria &
ventricles relax. After this the next cycle begins.

 Residual volume: It is the volume of air remaining in lungs after forced Normal
value is 1.2 L in males and 1.1 L in females.
Give physiology of neuromuscular transmission. ( 3 marks)
When a nerve impulse reaches neuromuscular junction, passage of action
potential over the sole feet causes the vesicles of acetylcholine to rupture into
the synaptic cleft. The acetylcholine acts on the cell membrane to increase its
permeability.
This allows spontaneous leakage of Na causing endplate potential. When the
endplate potential increases, it stimulates the entire muscle fibre causing an
action potential to travel in both directions along the fibre. When the action
potential spread to inside of muscle fibre then Ca ions are released. This
causes contraction of muscle fibres. Immediately after action potential is
over, the previously released Ca ions recombine with reticulum and the
muscle contraction stops.
The enzyme acetylcholinesterase present in the synaptic cleft. causes
hydrolysis of acetylcholine. The muscle fibre is repolaised again to receive
successive stimuli.
d) Describe the structure of stomach. ( str 2 marks, diag 1 mark)
Stomach is a J-shaped dilated portion of the alimentary canal. It is
continuous with the oesophagus at cardiac sphincter and with duodenum at
pyloric sphincter. It has 2 curvatures – lesser curvature and greater
curvature. The stomach is divided into three regions- fundus, body &
antrum. There are three layers of smooth muscle fibres outer longitudinal,
the middle circular layer & the inner oblique fibres. This helps the churning
movement & peristaltic movement.

Menstruation: This is the series of events occurring regularly in females
every 26-30 days throughout the child bearing age. The cycle consists of
menstrual phase for 4 days, proliferative phase for 10 days & secretary phase
for 14 days.
Proliferative phase: It is characterized by release of oestrogen by the
maturing ovarian follicle under the influence of FSH from the anterior
pituitary. Oestrogen stimulates the proliferation of the endometrium in
preparation of the fertilized ovum. The endometrium becomes thicker by
rapid cell multiplication and this is accompanied by an increase in the
number of mucus-secreting glands and blood capillaries. This phase lasts for
10 days and stops when ovulation occurs and oestrogen production is
inhibited i.e. when the ovarian follicle ruptures.

(b) Describe how circulation of blood takes place through heart chambers.
(3 marks)

The superior vena cava (for upper body) and inferior vena cava (for lower
body) receive deoxygenated /impure blood from various part of the body
through different veins. This deoxygenated/ impure blood they pour into the
right atrium of heart. The blood from right atrium enters the right ventricle
through a tricuspid valve, which prevent back flow of blood from ventricle
into atrium.
The deoxygenated/ impure blood from right ventricle is forced into
pulmonary artery through pulmonary valve. The pulmonary arteries divide
into two branches each enters the right and left lungs. In the lungs, the red
blood cells (RBCs) release carbon dioxide and absorbs oxygen. This
oxygenated blood from right and left lungs is collected by four pulmonary
veins and poured into left atrium. From left atrium this blood enters into left
ventricle through bicuspid valve which prevents back flow of blood into left
atrium.This oxygenated blood from left ventricle is forced into the aorta
through aortic valve which prevent back flow of blood into left ventricle.
