INTERMEDIATE BIOLOGY
BODY FLUIDS AND CIRCULATION
-Circulation is the transport of nutrients, oxygen, CO2 and excretory products to the concerned
tissues or organs
...
) use water from their
surroundings
...
-Circulatory system is 2 types- Open and Closed
...
-E
...
Arthropods and molluscs
...
-This is more
advantageous as the flow of fluid can be more precisely regulated
...
g
...
#All vertebrates have a muscular chambered heart
...
• Amphibians: 3-chambered heart (2 atria + a ventricle)
...
Ventricle is incompletely partitioned
...
TYPES OF CIRCULATION
1)SINGLE CIRCULATION
-In fishes
...
-Deoxygenated blood → to heart → to gills → oxygenated blood → to body parts →
deoxygenated blood → to heart
...
-In this, left atrium gets oxygenated blood from gills/lungs/skin and right atrium gets
deoxygenated blood from other body parts
...
- It pumps out mixed blood
...
Right atrium gets
deoxygenated blood and passes to right ventricle and left atrium gets oxygenated blood and
passes to left ventricle
...

It includes Heart, Blood & Blood vessels
...
BLOOD
Formed of plasma (55%) & formed elements (45%)
...
PLASMA
Straw-coloured, slightly alkaline (pH 7
...
Constituents of plasma
• Water (90-92%): It is a good solvent
...
o Globulins: Act as antibodies (for defense of the body)
...
Regulate blood pressure
...
• Inorganic constituents: Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, HCO - etc
...
Plasma without clotting factors is known as Serum
...
FORMED ELEMENTS (RBC, WBC & PLATELETS)
Red Blood Cells (RBC) or Erythrocytes:
- Biconcave non-nucleated cells
...
Red colour is due to
Haemoglobin (iron
containing protein)
...
- Count: 5 - 5
...
- Formed in: Red Bone marrow
...
Worn-out RBCs are destroyed in spleen (graveyard of RBCs)
...
White Blood Cells (WBC) or Leucocytes:
- Colourless nucleated cells
...
- Formed in: Bone marrow, lymph glands, spleen
...
- Function: Part of immune system
...
GRANULOCYTES
They are 3 types:
A)NEUTROPHILS
-Hetrophils
-60-65%
-Soldier of the body
...
B) EOSINOPHILS
-Acidophils
- 2-3%
...
- Cause allergic reactions
...
5-1%
-Secrete histamine,serotonin, heparin etc
...
2
...
Includes B- lymphocytes & T- lymphocytes
...
B)MONOCYTES
-6-8%
- Largest WBC
...
C)THROMBOCYTES(PLATELETS)
- Colourless non-nucleated cell fragments
...
5 - 3
...
- Formed in: Megakaryocytes in Bone marrow
...
- Function: Blood clotting
...
1)ABO GROUPING
-It is based on presence or absence of 2 surface antigens (chemicals that induce immune
response) on RBCs namely A
& B
...
-Blood group Antigens Antibodies Can donate blood to
-Can receive blood from
(Donor’s group)

O only
- Antigen A reacts with anti-A
...
- If bloods with interactive antigens & antibodies are mixed
together, it causes clumping (agglutination) of RBCs
...
-Persons with AB group are called Universal recipients because they can accept blood from all
groups
...
- Rh+ve means the presence of Rh factor and Rh-ve means absence of Rh factor
...
- Anti-Rh antibodies are not naturally found
...
-So, a second transfusion of Rh+ve blood causes agglutination
-Therefore,Rh-group should be matched before transfusion
...
- Rh antigens do not get mixed with maternal blood in first pregnancy because placenta
separates the two bloods
...
-This induces the formation of Rh antibodies in maternal blood
...
-This is fatal to the foetus or cause
severe anaemia and jaundice to the baby
...
- It can be avoided by administering anti-Rh antibodies to the mother immediately after the first
delivery
...
BLOOD VESSELS
Blood vessels are 3 types: Arteries, Veins & Capillaries
...
-They contain oxygenated blood (except pulmonary artery)
...
-Arteries are 3- layered- inner tunica intima (squamous endothelium), middle tunica media
(smooth muscles & elastic fibres) and outer tunica externa (fibrous connective tissue)
...
- They contain deoxygenated blood (except pulmonary vein)
...
- Veins are also 3-layered but
tunica media is comparatively thin
...
-They are called capillaries
...
3
...
-It has the size of a clenched fist
...
- The pericardial space (between pericardial membranes) is filled with pericardial fluid
...
- Heart has 4 chambers- two upper atria (auricles) and two lower ventricles
...
- The atria are separated by an inter-atrial septum and the ventricles are separated by
inter-ventricular septum
...
- A tricuspid valve (3 muscular flaps or cusps) guards the opening between right atrium & right
ventricle
...
-These valves allow the flow of blood only in one direction, i
...
from atria to ventricles
