in Humana
4 chamberd heart
maintain body temp
prevent mixing of oxygenated and de oxygenated blood
need more eneryg for the process 2 work
in the amphibians
3 chambers
there is some mixing of blood this can b tolerated becoz they dont use energy to
maintain their body temp (depends on the surrounding )
in fishes
2 chambers
single circulation
the deoxygenated blood reaches the gills(pumped from the heart) gets oxygenated
then goes 2 the rest of the parts of the body
the pressure exerted on the walls of the vessles is called blood pressure (measured
from sphygmomanometer)(brachial artery)
blood pressure in the artery is greater than the veins
systolic(during ventricular contraction)(120 mm ) , diastolic pressure (pressure af
the blood inside the artery during ventricular reaction)(80 mm )
high blood pressure - hypertention
our heart beats 72 every minute
TRANSPORTATION IN PLANTS
(reamember photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts)
transportation in plants takes place by the process of diffusion in small
plants.Not in large trees
zylem are filled with chemical substances excreated by the plant itself
xylem
trachids and vessels r hollow and are arranged end 2 end. xylem tarnsportes water
only in 1 direction
xylem colomn
mineral content in the root hair are normally more than the soil
with energy minerals move into the root hair which creates an concentration
differrence of ions between the root hairs and the soil
so due to this difference of water it moves into the roots
diffusion is not enough to absorb the minerals ATP is needed difussion is not
enough to transport water to all parts of the plant body
so
.transpiration helps in the proper circulation of water
.it helps in temp regulation of the surrounding area
.root pressure pressure difference helps in absorbtion of water during the night
