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
...
HUMAN CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
BLOOD VASCULAR SYSTEM
Heart
Blood
Plasma
Formed elements
Blood vessels
Arteries
Veins
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Lymph
Lymph vessels
Lymph nodes
RBC
WBC
Platelets
Granulocytes
Agranulocytes
Capillaries
Neutrophils
Lymphocytes
Monocyte
Oeosinophils
Basophils
B- Lymphocytes
T-Lymphocytes
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
