Important Questions for NCERT Class 11 Biology Body Fluids and Circulation

Short Answer Type Questions

Question. What is meant by double circulation? What is its significance?

Answer. The type of blood circulation in which oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood do not get mixed is termed double circulation. It includes systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation. The circulatory pathway of double circulation is given in the following flow chart. (IMG 131) Significance of double circulation : Double circulation or separation of systemic and pulmonary circulations provides a higher metabolic rate to the body and also allows the two circulations to have different blood pressures according to the need of the organs they supply.

Question. What is the role of hormones in regulating the cardiac activity?

Answer. Hormones play an important role in regulating the cardiac activity. The substance secreted at the end of the vasoconstrictor nerves is called norepinephrine (noradrenaline). It regulates the blood pressure under normal conditions. Norepinephrine causes constriction of essentially all the blood vessels of the body and thus increases the heart rate. Another hormone called epinephrine (adrenaline) is also secreted by the medulla of the adrenal endocrine gland. It also acts directly on the blood vessels, usually to cause vasoconstriction. Epinephrine has a greater effect on heart activity than norepinephrine. It also causes weak constriction of the blood vessels of the muscles in comparison with a much stronger constriction that results from norepinephrine. Thus adrenal medullary hormones increase the heart beat.

Question. What is the effect of the following on the heart rate?
(a) Sympathetic nervous system
(b) Noradrenaline
(c) Fever

Answer. (a) Sympathetic nervous system accelerates the heart beat. It constricts arteries that raise blood pressure. (b) Refer to answer  29. (c) Fever causes an increase in heart rate as an increase of a single degree of temperature increases heart rate of about 10 beats per minute.

Question. Differentiate between arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis.

Question. What are the factors that affect pulse rate?

Answer. The factors that affect the pulse rate are as follows: (i) The pulse rate in children is more rapid than in adults. (ii) The pulse rate is more rapid in the females than in the males. (iii) When the person is in standing position the pulse rate is more rapid than when he/she is lying down. (iv) When any strong emotion is experienced the pulse rate is increased, for example, anger, excitement, fear, etc. (v) Any exercise increases the rate of the pulse. (vi) A temperature increase of just 1°C raises the heart rate by about 10 beats per minute. This is why pulse increases substantially in a person suffering from fever.

Question. Explain the different steps involved in the process of blood clotting.

Answer. Blood clotting occurs in the following steps: (i) At the site of an injury, the blood platelets disintegrate and release a phospholipid, called platelet factor-3 or platelet thromboplastin. Injured tissues also release a lipoprotein factor called thromboplastin. These two factors combine with calcium ions and certain proteins of the blood plasma to form an enzyme called prothrombinase. (ii) The prothrombinase inactivates heparin or antiprothrombin- anticoagulant in the presence of calcium. Prothrombinase catalyses breakdown of prothrombin (inactive plasma protein) into an active protein called thrombin and some small peptide fragments. (iii) Thrombin acts as an enzyme and first brings about depolymerisation of fibrinogen (a soluble plasma protein) into its monomers. Later, thrombin stimulates repolymerisation of these monomers into long insoluble fibre-like polymers called fibrin. The thin, long and solid fibres of fibrin form a dense network upon the wound and trap blood corpuscles (RBCs, WBCs and platelets) to form a clot. The clot seals the wound and stops bleeding. Soon after the clot starts contracting and a pale yellow fluid, the serum, starts oozing out. This serum is blood plasma minus fibrinogen and blood corpuscles. Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting as it is necessary for the synthesis of prothrombin in the liver. The mechanism of blood clotting is explained by the given flow chart: (IMG 133)

Long Answer Type Questions

Question. Explain different types of blood groups and donor compatibility by making a table.

Answer. ABO blood groups in human beings were reported for first time by Karl Landsteiner. ABO blood groups are determined by the gene I (isoagglutinin). There are three alleles, IA, IB and IO of this gene. Proteins produced by the IA and IB alleles are called A antigen and B antigen respectively. (i) People with blood group A have the A antigen on the surface of their RBCs, and antibodies to antigen B in their plasma. (ii) Persons with blood group B have B antigen on their RBCs, and antibodies against A antigen in their plasma. (iii) Individuals with AB blood group have both antigen A and antigen B on their RBCs, and no antibodies for either of the antigens in their plasma. (iv) Type O individuals are without A and B antigens on their RBCs, but have antibodies for both antigens in their plasma. If a blood transfusion is made between an incompatible donor and recipient, reaction of antigens on the cells and antibodies in the plasma produces clots that clogs capillaries. Blood groups with donor compatibility is given in the table: (IMG 133)

Question. (a) What is blood pressure?
(b) How is it measured and what is it’s normal value?

Answer. (a) Blood pressure is defined as the pressure that the blood exerts on the walls of the blood vessels produced by the discharge of blood into them by contractions of the left ventricle. (b) The blood pressure is measured from brachial artery by an instrument called sphygmomanometer in terms of height in millimeters of a column of mercury. When the left ventricle contracts pushing the blood into the aorta, the pressure produced is known as systolic blood pressure (120 mm Hg). When the complete diastole occurs and the heart is resting, the pressure within the blood vessels is called as the diastolic blood pressure (80 mm Hg). A sphygmomanometer consists of an inflatable cuff attached to a pressure gauge. The cuff is wrapped around the upper arm and rapidly inflated with a hand pump until no pulse is felt in the wrist. This shows that the blood supply to the forearm is stopped. A stethoscope is placed on the brachial artery just below the cuff, and the cuff is slowly deflated. The sound of blood flow is heard through the stethoscope. When thumping is heard, pressure on the gauge is noted. This sound is of the blood rushing through the arteries at peak pressure due to ventricular contraction. The reading on the gauge is the systolic blood pressure. The sound fades until it stops, the reading on the gauge now indicates the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic pressure shows the force with which the left ventricle pushes blood into the aortic arch. The diastolic pressure indicates the elasticity of the blood vessels, and is useful in diagnosing hardening of arteries or strain on their walls. The blood pressure is expressed as BP = 120/80 mm Hg.

Question. Define a portal vein? Explain the functions of such a vein in our digestive system.

Answer. Main blood vessel in which subsidiary venules join to transfer the secretion at the target site. Hepatic portal vein plays vital role in the digestive system the impurities and to detoxify the harmful materials.

Question. Explain why the blood of earthworm is less efficient oxygen carrier than that of man?

Answer. In human being haemoglobin is present in the RBC , but in earthworm it is present in plasma. So it attains less surface area to bind to oxygen.

Question. Why is swelling of feet or leg caused when a person stands immobile for a long time?

Answer. Because blood has to pass into the heart against the gravity so it leakes into interstitial spaces.
