Q1 Complete the flow chart on composition of blood.
Blood

Q2 Refer to the figure given below and answer the following:

i) Which kind of blood vessel is shown in A? Give any two characteristics of such
blood vessels. What is the advantage of this type of blood vessel?
ii) Name the blood cells shown in A.
iii) Describe the events and their significance as shown in the diagram.
iv) Different between arteries and veins.

Q3 Differentiate between:
1 Diastole X Systole
2 Pulmonary circulation X Systemic circulation
3 Pulmonary artery X Pulmonary vein
4 Blood X Lymph
5 Red blood cell X White blood cell
6 Hepatic vein X Hepatic portal vein
Q4 Give reasons for:
1 Veins have valves at intervals in their lining whereas arteries do not have valves.
2 SA node is called pacemaker of heart.
3 Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood do not mix in human heart.
4 Capillaries are thin walled.
5 Arteries are thick walled and veins are thin walled.
6 Blood does not clot inside the body.
7 It is necessary to know the blood group before transfusion.
8 Erythrocytes are biconcave discs and lack mitochondria.
9 The wall of ventricles is thicker than auricles.
10 It is necessary to maintain a normal osmotic concentration of blood.
11 It is dangerous to sleep in a small room with burning furnaces without ventilation
12 Erythrocytes lack nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum.

Q5 Given below is the diagrammatic representation of blood circulation in man.

1 Label the parts 1 – 8.

2 Make three corrections in the diagram.
3 Does the left ventricle pump out greater
Volume of blood per beat than the 1
right ventricle or the same volume? 8

7 2
6 3
5

Q6 The diagram below represents a certain category of blood vessels.

Name the kind of blood vessels shown.

What is the structure shown inside the blood vessels?
What is the role of these structures?
Are these structures present in any other kind of blood
vessels? If si name it
Towards which side of the figure (top or bottom) is the
heart located?
Q7 The diagram represents the” closed system “or double circulation of blood in mammals.
Justify the above statement.
1) Label parts A, B, C, D.

2) State two structural and two functional

differences between arteries and veins.

3) State the changes in the composition of

blood as it passes through the following organs:
1)Lungs 2) Gut 3) Liver 4) Kidneys

Q8 Observe the diagram and answer the following:

1) Label the parts 1 – 5

2) Which type of blood flows through the
left side of it?
3) What are the functions of structures
marked 1 and 2?
4) Why does part 4 have thick walls?

Q9 The figure represents the human heart in

one of the phases of activity.

1) Name the parts numbered 1 – 5.

2) What do the arrows indicate?
3) Which part / parts of the heart
are contracting in this phase?
4) How many valves in this phase are
closed?
Q11 Label the parts.

Q11 Label the following parts.
