Circulatory System in Human Beings

The circulatory system plays very important role in life process of an organism. It is well developed in higher animals like Birds, Reptiles, Mamalas etc. The nutrients from small intestines and oxygen from lungs both are the responsible of circulatory system to reach them each and every cell of the body.

Constituents of circulatory system in Human beings
1. Blood:- Blood is a body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.Blood is composed of Blood cells( Red blood cells and White blood cells) and Plasma. Red blood cells contain Hemoglobin, which is red in colour that is Red blood cell are red in colour it carries oxygen from lungs to cells and carbon dioxide from cell to lungs. Blood runs through veins and arteries in the body.

2.Blood vessels/ Veins and arteries:- These are the channels which runs through out the body. ( we will discuss later the difference between veins and arteries.

3.Heart:- It is pear shaped, fest sized muscular pumping organ. It pumps the blood.It is located between the two lungs.Human Beings have four chambered heart.

structure of heart and working:- Human Heart has four chambers, two Auricles and Two ventricles separated by a thin valve.The upper two chambers are known as auricles i.e left atrium and left atrium and lower to chambers are ventricles i.e left and right ventricle.The left ventricle is strongest chamber .  
superior vena cava collects blood from the upper side of the body and inferior vena cava from lower body into right atrium blood is de-oxygenated i.e is with out oxygen but contains carbon dioxide.This blood is than pumped into right ventricle and than pumped to lungs through Pulmonary atrium. Left atrium receives oxygenated blood from lungs through Pulmonary vein. Than this blood is pumped into left ventricle(strongest chamber).Which pumps this blood to whole body through Aorta.

This type of circulatory system is known as double circulatory system as the blood enters twice into the heart

 Difference between Arteries and Veins.
The blood vessels which carry blood from heart to the body are known as Arteries and the blood vessels which carry blood from body to heart are called veins. All arteries except Pulmonary artery carry oxygenated blood like wise all the veins except Pulmonary vein carry de-oxygenated blood.

  MODES OF REPRODUCTION USED BY SINGLE ORGANISMS                                                            Part 1 The modes by which various organisms reproduce depend on the body design of the organisms. Unicellular organisms reproduce by means of following processes:- Fission:-   Fission is the process of spliting of unicelluar organisms or single celled organisms into the two are more than two cells, each cell forms the new individual. The new individual formed is exact copy of parent cell. Fission is of two types:-            A) Binary Fission:-  when the single parent cell divides into two new daughter cells, each new                                                ...

Absorption of Nutrients in Small Intestines

The digested food is now in simple form and is ready to use by cells. The inner wall of small intestines is called as Mucosa, it has numerous finger like projections called as Villi (singular- villus), which in-turn has finger like projections called as micro-villi. The purpose of villus is to provide large surface area for nutrient absorption. Villi have large network of blood capillaries, where the nutrients are absorbed in blood by diffusion.Most of the nutrients are absorbed in jejunum. except Iron is absorbed in duodenum  vitamin B12 and bile salts are absorbed in the terminal ileum. Through blood digested food reaches to each and every cell of the body.

Digestion in Human Beings for class 10th

Digestion As the Human Beings show Holozoic mode of nutrition , theres is a system in Human Beings which Digests this food into the simple molecules called Gollucose. Digestion:- The process in which an organism breaks complex food molecules into simpler once for respiration is called digestion. Q.1 what is need to Digest food?  As the food is in complex form , body cells cannot use it directly so there is a need to change its form from complex to simple one. Digestion in Human Beings Digestion In Human Beings starts from mouth.The cavity inside the mouth is called as Buccal cavity.Buccal cavity contains Teeth and Tongue.In mouth food is broken into small pieces with the help of Teeth and is mixed with saliva secreated by Salivary gland. Saliva contains digestive enzymes called as Salivary Amilase (Ptylin).These enzymes digest food to some extend.Tongue in a mouth helps in mixing food with saliva and is also percieves the taste of the food. The food than enters i...
