Explore the circulatory system as the delivery system for nutrients, gases, hormones, and wastes, powered by the heart and circulating through blood vessels with blood, lymph, plasma, and cells.
Explore granulocytes, including neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils, their red bone marrow origin, staining differences, nucleus shapes, and roles in infection, allergies, and anticoagulation.
Identify atrioventricular valves, including tricuspid on the right and mitral (bicuspid) on the left, and semilunar valves between ventricles and arteries that open during contractions to prevent backflow.
Explore the heart's intrinsic conduction system, from the sinoatrial node pacemaker to the atrioventricular node, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers that coordinate atrial and ventricular contractions.
Describes veins and capillaries and their roles in blood circulation. Shows how veins return blood to the heart under low pressure, and capillaries enable gas, nutrient, and waste exchange.
Explore double circulation by outlining pulmonary, systemic, and coronary pathways, showing blood moving from the right ventricle to the lungs, to the left atrium, then to the body and back.
Hypertension is a persistent high blood pressure, above 150 mm Hg systolic and 90 mm Hg diastolic, linked to high salt and fat intake, stress, and obesity.
Description
You have learnt that all living cells have to be provided with nutrients, O2 and other essential substances. Also, the waste or harmful substances
produced, have to be removed continuously for healthy functioning of tissues. It is therefore, essential to have efficient mechanisms for the
movement of these substances to the cells and from the cells. Different groups of animals have evolved different methods for this transport. Simple organisms like sponges and coelenterates circulate water from their surroundings through their body cavities to facilitate the cells to exchange these substances. More complex organisms use special fluids within their bodies to transport such materials. Blood is the most commonly used body fluid by most of the higher organisms including humans for this purpose.
Another body fluid, lymph, also helps in the transport of certain substances. In this chapter, you will learn about the composition and properties of
blood and lymph (tissue fluid) and the mechanism of circulation of blood is also explained herein.
