Endosmosis: The entrance of water in a cell when a cell is put in a hypotonic solution is called endosmosis. Significance of Osmosis: . The root hairs absorb water by the help of osmosis. . It also helps in the transportation of water from one cell to another cell in plants. * It also helps in the transportation of water in living cells of plants from fon- living xylem vessels. . It also provides turgidity to the cell which helps in the stability if immature stems and leaves. . It also helps in the sleep movement of leaves and flowers. i ort: Certain molecules or ions move across the cell membrane against the concentration gradient i.e. from lower concentration to higher concentration. The transport takes place at the expense of cell's metabolic energy. ATP and is called active transport. Example: Phloem loading in plants, Plasmolysis: ‘The shrinkage of protoplasm due to exosmosis when a cell is placed in hypertonic solution is called as plasmoysis. The point when cytoplasm just starts to separate from cell wall is called incipient plasmolysis. lanatic When the cell is in turgid states thens turgor pressure and wall pressure are always equal to each other but when it (cell) is placed in hypertonic solution then it shows exosmosis and sleaze water molecules due to high concentration of water in cell to lower concentration i.e. Enviroment. There are turgor pressure of a cell is decreased as well as concentration of cell sap on ceased and finally protoplasm deposits in the center of cell leaving cell wall. This process conditions required: © The cell must be a living cell. * The cell should be a place in a hypertonic solution. ‘The state in which the cell wall is fully stretched and pressure potential reaches at it maximum. Turgor Pressure: Hydrostatic pressure of protoplasm applied on the cell wall due to the turgidity is known as turgor pressure. ‘Wall Pressure: An equal and opposite pressure of cell wall exerted on protoplasm called wall pressure.

Conditions required: © Thecell must bea living cell * Thecell should be placed in a hypotonic solution. Imbibition: Adsorption of water and swelling up hydrophilic (water loving) substances known as imbibition. Starch, gum, protoplasm, cellulose and poteins are hydrophilic substances. ‘Water status in plants: ‘Water is important in the life of plant, because it makes up the matrix and medium in which biochemical processes essential for life occur. The movement of water depends upon the chemical potential of water or water potential, osmotic potential and pressure potential. i. Water potential: The chemical potential of water is a quantative expression of the free energy associated with the water. Thermodynamically, free energy represents a potential for performing work. All living things including plants, required a continuous input of free energy. In the case of water movements this free energy is involved in water flow. The unit of chemical potential is energy per mole of a substance (joules per mole). For practical reason, it turns out that the unit of chemical potential is inconvenient for most work in plant physiology. Therefore, plant physiologist have defined another parameter called water potential as the difference between the free energy of water molecules in pure water and energyof water in any other system (e.g water in solution or in a cell sap of plant). Now, the free energy of water is expressed in pressure unit such as megapascals and symbolized by Greek letter Y psi [MPa; IMPa = 9.87 atmosphere]. Pure water has been assigned the value of water potential o MPa. Addition of solute particles lowers the mole of substance divided by total number of all substances in the system/ solution of water.hence, there is a decrease in water potential. Therefore, values of water potential remains less than zero or in negative value. ii. Osmotic Pressure: The pressure exerted upon a solution to keep it in the equilibrium with pure water when the two are separated by a semipermeable memberance in known as osmotic pressure. Therefore, the osmotic pressure of a solution is a measure of the tendency of water to move by osmosis into it. In other words we can say that the osmotic pressure is the pressure that must be exerted on a solution to prevent the passage of solvent molecule into when the solvent and solution are separated by a differentially permeable membrance. Thus, it prevents the process of osmosis proceeding. iit. i tential or solute Potential: Osmotic Potential is the tendency of a solution to attract water molecules when the solutions of two different concentrations are separated by a differentially LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COMUSIVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM permeable membrance. Pure water is assigned the osmotic potential zero as the highest value. Since the osmotic potential decreases as the osmotic concentration (the no. of osmosotically active particles per unit volume) increases, all solutions have value of less than zero, Under constant temperature and pressure, water moves from the solution of lower osmotic potential to the solution of higher osmotic potential when the two solution are separated by a differentially permeable memberance. It is represented by Vs or solute potential. Another term used in relation to water potential is pressure potential, which is defined as the hydrostatic pressure in excess of atmosphere pressure. Water relations of Plant cell: For practical purposes a plant cell can be divided into three parts: () Cell Wall: this is non-living, permeable, outer most boundary of cell made up of cellulose. Gi). Cytoplasm along with nucleus forms protoplasm — the living material bounded by cell memberane. ii) In the centre, there is a vacuole enclosed by tonoplast, central vacuole is filled with cell sap — an aqeaus solution of salts, organic acids and sugar. The presence of solute particles lowers the water potential ¥ of cell sap. Greater the number of solute particles, the more negative will be the water potential of cell sap. The concentration of solute particles in a solution is known as solute potential Vs, (This has been previously referred as osmotic potential). The value of solute potential is always negative. When a cell is placed in pure water or in an aquoes solution with higher water. potential (less negative) than the cell sap, water flows into the vacuole by osmosis through plasma membrane and tonoplast. As more water flows into the vacuole, the tension developed by cell wall causes an internal hydrostatic pressure to develop. This is called pressure potential Wp and it opposes the continued uptake of water into the cell by osmosis. When the cell wall id fully stretched and pressure patential reaches at its maximum, the cell eannot take any more water, and is said to be fully turgid. The relationship between water potential W, solute potential Ws and pressure potential W, is represented by following equation Wy = Wet Vp Ina turgid cell , is equal and opposite to Ws, so = 0 Water and Minerals Uptake by Root: Absorption of water and minerals by plants: Water is essential in the body of plant. It brings about a number of plant activities. The cytoplasm contains about 90 - 95% of water, it is used in photosynthesis, and it helps to maintain the turgidity of cells. This water is absorbed from the soil and only a very small amount of water is utilized by the plant for its various functions and rest of his amount is lost in transpiration. The intake of water from the soil is known as absorption. Root; The root is an undergroung part of plant which arises from the radical of seed. It helps in the absorption of water and minerals from soil due to the presence of root hairs. Root hairs possess sticky walls and adhere tightly to soil particles which are usually coated with water and dissolved minerals salts, From root hairs and epidermal cells water flows through cortex endodermais, Pericycle and enters xylem. Since transport of water takes place in radial direction it is also termed as lateral transport. LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM Pathways for water: Three pathways are available for water to enter xylem. i. Cellular pathway ii. Symplast iii, Apoplast , Cellular Pathway: The first route is from cell to cell. Water enters the root hair or epidermal cell down a gradient of water potential. It flows out of one cell across the cel] wall, cell membrane vacuole and enters the adjacent cell which may again pass the substance along the next cell in the pathway, This is known as cellular path way. Symplast: ‘The second pathway is symplast through the pores in the cell walls, cytoplasm of cortical cells remain connected with cytoplasm of adjoining cortical cells. These cytoplasmic connections through pores are known as plasmodesmata. These plasmodesmata provide another pathway for transport of water and solutes known as symplastic pathway. This requires only one crossing of plasma membrane at root hair. Apoplast: The third pathway is apoplast. The cell walls of epidermal cells and that of cortical cells form a continuous matrix. These walls are hydrophilic. Soil solution flows freely through hydrophilic walls of epidermal and cortical cells. This movement of soi] solution through extracellular pathway provided by continuous matrix of cell walls is known as apoplastic pathway. As solutes move along extracellular pathway some of the water and solutes are taken up by the cells of cortex thus changing the route from apoplast to symplast. Pathways for water uptake by the root upto xylem. The inner limiting layer of cortex is endodermis which serves as a barrier or checkpoint because of casparian strip a waxy belt that extends through the walls of endodermal cells. ‘Thus, water and minerals cannot cross the endodermis and enter xylem via apoplast LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM , (extracellular pathway). Symplast is the only way to cross the barrier. Endodermal cells actively transport salts to pericycle resulting in high concentration of salts. This cause a low water potential and water moves into them by osmosis. From pericycle water flows into xylem both via symplast and apoplast. Transportation: The process in which organic (food) and inorganic (H20, salts) substances are transfered to all parts of the body is known as transportation. In plants, there are two types of transportation. i Ascent of sap ii. Translocation 1. Ascent of sap: The upward movement of water from absorptive surface (roots) to the transpiring surface (leaves) against the force of gravity is called “Ascent of sap". The process of ascent of sap has two aspects. . Path of ascending sap. . Forces responsible for ascent of sap. Path of ascending sap: In the light of little experimental verification it is observed that the xylem vessels and trachields are responsible for the path af ascending sap. Experiment #1: Cut branch of plant under water and put it in coloured water. The water moves upward through branch, veins and vein lets of leaves. After an hour cut the transverse section of branch and examine under microscope, it will be observed that only xylem vessels and tracheids are coloured. It proves that water moves upward through xylem only. Vessels: Vessels are dead cells which lack transverse walls. Their walls are thick and lignified. There are some depressions in the walls which are known as. pits, Vessels cells are connected one above the vessel. In vessel water moves 10 times faster than tracheids. Vessels are mostly found in anglosperms. The diameter of vessel is about 20 — 70 tm and the length is about several centimeter. Tracheids: Trachieds are also dead cells with thick, lignified angular walls. There transverse walls are perforated. Through these pores water moves from cell to cell. The diameter is 30 um and it length is several millimeter. Trachieds are only found in ferns gymnosperm and other primitive vascular plants. Mechanism of Ascent of Sap: The mechanism of ascent of sap is described by the following theories. . Root pressure theory + Transpirtation pulls theory or Adhesion, cohesion and tension theory or Dixon theory. Root pressure theory: : This theory was presented by Stephen Hales in 1727, According to him this force could be responsible for rising of water to the height of 6.4 meter. LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM a Explanation: If the stem of potted plant dip in water is cut little above the soil, ,the cut ends exudes water for some time, He suggested that there is a force pushing water up to the stem from roots. This force is known as root pressure. Objection: . This is an insufficient force. . Many tall trees do not generate enough root pressure for upward movement of water. Transpirtation pulls theory: This theory was presented by Dixon and Jolly. According to them to transport water over a long distance plants do not use their metabolic energy. Forces like adhesion, cohesion and evaporating effect of sunlight are mainly responsible for upward conduction of water. Thus ascent of sap is solar produced. Explanation: Sunlight raises temperature of leaves so the water begins to evaporate from moist walls of mesophyll cells. The evaporated water is immediately replaced from water inside the cell, which is replaced with water from neighbouring cell deeper in the leaf. Ultimately water is pulled from xylem to meet the loss of water, Thus water in xylum is placed under tension which is transmitted to root through vessels. This downward transmission of tension is because of cohesive property of water columns. in vessels and tracheids. Water column moves upward by mass flow due to transpiration pull. Important factors of Ascent of Sap: 5 Transpiration: It generates a pulling force 2. — Physical force: Two types of physical forces. Adhesion and cohesion. ni ‘Adhesion is the sticking together of molecules of different kinds. Water molecules tend to adhere to cellulose molecules of the walls of xylem vessels. Cohesion: Cohesion is the joinging together of molecules of same kind. Extensive hydrogen bonding in water gives rise to property of cohesion. The cohesing water molecules in xylem vessels form a continuous column, n ace In can be defined as, “a process in which excess water is released form the aerial parts of plants in the form of vapours”. The root hairs absorb water in bulk amount which is utilized in photo synthesis and other metabolic functions, That water which is not involved in these reactions is called excess water. If water is stood in the cells of plant may burst the plant. There fore, excess amount of water is released from the plant in the form of vapours by the help of aerial parts. Thin process is known as transpiration, LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM ‘ypes of Transpiration: The three types of transpiration are given as follows: i Lenticular transpiration ii. Cuticular transpiration iii, Stomatal transpiration ’ Lenticular transpiration: It's a type of transpiration in which loss of water occurs by the help of lenticles. Lenticles: The lenticles are small pores present in stem of higher plants. It's formed due to secondary growth of plant due to rupturing of epidermal cells. Cuticular transpiration: It is type of transpiration which occurs by the help of cuticle. Cuticle: It is a waxy layer of epidermal cells which are composed by cutin (carbohydrates) it inhibits the excretionof water by epidermal cells. The ratio of lenticular and cuticular transpiration is almost 3% of the total transpirationwhile 97% of transpiration is through stomata. It is a type of transpiration which occurs by the help of stomata, which are present on epidermal cells of aerial parts of plants. Stomata: Stomata are the microscopic pores which are found on the surface of leaves and some stems. No of stomata on sq. mm of leaf: Mostly 50 — 300 stomata are found on a square millimeter of leaf surface. But according to Eckerson in 1908, 14 stomata/mm? are found on the leaf of wheat. According to Yoccum 1935, 1038 stomata/mm? are present on the leaf of scarlet plant. Structure of stomata: ‘The stomata are externally covered by two kidney shaped cells which are known as guard cells. There guard cells differ from other epidermal cells. ‘These guard cells differ from other epidermal cells on the basis of two reasons, * Presence of chlorophyll . Specific structure The outer layer of guard cells is thin and elastic as compared to inner thick wall. This helps in the stomatal movement. ‘The guard cells perform following three functions: Re Exchange of gases : Transpiration 3... Manufacturing of food Stomatal movement: The stomatal movement depends upon the turgidity. Outer wall of guard cells stretches a biconcave opening is formed between two guard cells which is known as stomata. ‘The reverse process of guard cells helps in the closing of stomata. LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM Openi f Stomat ‘The opening of stomata is normally seen during day time while stomata are closed in night due to following reasons. The COs consume in photosynthesis during day time therefore guard cells suffer in deficiency of CO2 and also decreases the turgidity of guards cells. There fore enzyme phosphorylase is active by help of light and it converts starch into glucose 6 phosphate. Starch phosphorylase , glucose 6 phosphate As we know that starch is insoluble in water there fore it cannot produce any effect on the concentration of guard cells while glucose 6 phosphate as soluble in water and increase the concentration of cell sap in guard cells so water is transferred in guard cells from adjoining cells and guard cells become turgid which help in the stomatal movement and stomata becomes close. Light is absent absent in night therefore no change occurs in the concentration of cell sap guard cells. Factors effecting rate of transpiration: The factors effecting rate of transpiration are classified into two groups: i External factors ii. Internal factors External Factors: The following external factors affect on the rate of transpiration. i Humidity Temperature ili. Velocity of wind iv. Atmospheric pressure v Water contents in soit vi. Light ‘The dry wind increase the rate of transpiration therefore rate of transpiration depends upon humidity. Deficiency of humidity increases the rate of transpiration. Temperature: The high temperature increases the rate of transpiration because high temperature decreases the humidity in air hence increasing the rate of transpiration. Velocity of wind: The maximum velocity of wind increases the rate of transpiration because high velocity of wind removes water molecules which are present on surroundings of stomata. Atmospheric pressure: The low atmospheric pressure decreases the density of air therefore low atmospheric pressure increases the rate of transpiration. Water contents in soit: Due to increase in water contents of soil mesophylle cells will have more water contents resulting in opening of stomata and vice versa hence water contents of soil has direct relation with rate of transpiration. LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM Light: Light cause dual effect on rate of transpiration light stimulates enzyme phosphorylase which converts starch into glucose 6 phosphate and increase the concentration of guard cells so that most of the plants stomata opens in day time while closes during night. The intensity of light also increases the temperature so light increases the , rate of transpiration. Transpiration as necessary evil: Transpiration has its advantage and thus it is necessary the other hand it has grave disadvantages and thus it is an evil. Advantages: is Transpiration produces a force in plants which helps in ascent of sap. ii. Transpiration increases concentration of salts and minerals on cells therefore more absorption of water occurs in cells. iii, Transpiration also helps in transpiration of water in whole. iv. It has cooling effect in plant. Disadvantages: A It may cause the death of plant due to dehydration. i. In certain plants leaves are modified into scales or spines or shed leaves in order to reduce the transpiration. Translocati: ic solute (Phloe: cation The movement of photoassimilates and other organic material from leaves to the growing and straight organs of plants is called translocation. This movement takes place via the phloem and is therefore called phloem translocation. ‘The organic materials are prepared in the form of simple carbohydrates as food in the green leaves of plants. Other parts also require these carbohydrates, so they are transferred to those parts which use them or store them in their tissues. Path of Translocation: In small plants like Bryophyta the body is smal] and the food material is cover a small distance, so they do not have proper vascular tissues which help in the translocation of important substances. In higher plants the body is large. They contain vascular tissues. In such plant phloem (a part of vascular tissues) is responsible in the translocation of food. i if PI Condi mn: In plants the food substances move through the phloem. According to Curtis the movement in phloem occurs in both directions i.e. from up to downward or from down to upward. Phloem is a complicated tissue, composed of many cells. The main vessels are called sieve-tubes, through which movement of food substances takes place. Source — sink movement: The transport of food substances takes place from the region of supply (source) to the region of metabolism or storage (sink), therefore the phloem transport is also called source-to-sink movement. ‘There are different steps in the movement of food substances from mesophyll cells of leaves to the sieve tubes of phloem in a mature leaf. Initially the synthesized sucrose is transferred from the mesophyll cells to the vicinity of sieve tubes in the smallest veins of the leaf. This process is called short-distance transport pathway. In this transport the solute covers a small distance only two or three cells diameters. After that sucrose is actively transported into sieve tubes of phloem, this process is called phloem loading. LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM ‘The sucrose is transported to other part; it covers a long distance, so it is called long- distance transport. , After covering a long distance when the sucrose is reached to the areas of metabolism or storage i.e. at the sink region, the sucrose is unloaded at the sink it is called phloem unloading. By the process of phloem loading and unloading a force is developed which helps in the flow of food substances in the phloem. Thus source to sink movement is useful in the accumulation of food in the storage regions of cereal grains and other parts, therefore it has a great importance in agriculture.

Pressure flow or mass flow hypothesis (Munch hypothesis): To describe the mechanism of translocation many theories have been put forward, but the most important theory is known as Ernst Munch theory which is also called mass-flow or pressure flow. This theory was propased by Munch in 1930. According to this theory the food eae from source (leaves) to the sink (growing and storage organ) in a flow, called mass tow. This flow of solution in the sieve tubes is due to the osmotic pressure gradient between source (leaves) and sink (storage region). * When leaves manufacture food material by photosynthesis, their osmotic pressure in creases, so these mesophyll cells of leaves get water from neighbouring cells, as a result of this process a high turgor pressure is developed in mesophyll cells, LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM The mesophyll cells are connected with each other through small pores, called plasmodesmata. These connections are reached upto the sieve tubes of phloem. The food substances are diffused through plasmodesmata to the sieve tubes due to turgor pressure. The movement is from a region of high turgor pressure (source, leaf cells) to the region of low turgor pressure sink tissues (storage tissues). In this way a mass flow of water and dissolved orgaic solutes occurs in phloem from upper region to lower region, so it is called mass flow or bulk flow. , Munch’s Hypothesis: Munch hypothesis can very well be explainedwith the help of following experiment. Two chambers A and B with semipermeable wall are connected by a tube C. there is present concentrated sugar solution in A and water in B. the two chambers are placed in a water-filled vessel. A represents to mesophyll cell in leaf which is the supply end and B to the root which is the receiving end. water will diffuse rapidly into A under osmosis. Since A is connected to B, the pressure will be transmitted to B and water will be forced out through B. there will be mass flow of solution from A to B through C which represents the phloem. This flow will be continue till the concentration in the two chambers in equal and equilibrium is established. This process can be prolonged if a continuous supply of sugar solution to chamber A is maintained. The same can easily be applied in plants. Transport in Animal: Animals have efficient means of transportation which are according to their complexity. Means of Transportation: ‘There are three means of transportation found in animals. i. Diffusion it Active Transport iii. Circulatory Syatem Diffusion: “The movement or molecule from higher concentration to lower concentration called diffusion”. In lower and higher class animals diffusion plays important role for transportation of molecules, Active Transport: “The movement of molecules from lower concentration to higher concentration called active transport”, In simple and complex multicellular animals active transport also plays important role in transportation of materials. Circulatory Syatem: “The rapid flow of mass of material (blood) from one place of body to another place of body to cover the distance called circulatory system”. In high class animals most of the transportation is take place through circulatory system but diffusion and active transport also help in transportation of materials. Types of Circulatory System: ‘There are two types of circulatory system found in animals. i, Open type circulatory system ii, Close type circulatory system irculator stem: 72 “The circulatory system in which blood is circulating in sinuses or Haemocoel cavity called open type circulatory system”. LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM In this type of circulatory system interistitial fluid and blood are not distuinguishable and it's collectively known as Haemolymph. Haemoglobin is absent in open type blood circulatory system, so it does not help in gasses transportation. In open type circulatory system blood is also pumped by tubular hearts. This type of circulatory system found in arthropods and molluscas. , Close type circulatoi ister: “Circulatory system in which blood circulates inside blood vessel by pumping action of heart called close type circulatory system". In this type of circulatory system Haemoglobin is present in blood so it helps in gases transportation. In close type circulatory system blood is circulate in three types of blood vessels which is found in animals. a. Artery b. Capillary c Vein This type of circulatory system found in animals of Phylum Chordata and Annelida. Single Circuit Circulation: The circulation in which blood is circulating in one direction called single circuit circulation. This type of circulation found in fishes. The heart of fishes is consists of two chambers. a. Atrium b. Ventricle Inside atrium blood vessel is open called sinus venosus. Another blood vessel arises from ventricles called conus arterious. Sinus -venoses collect deoxygenated blood from body and pour it into the heart. When heart is contract deoxygenated blood supplied to the gills where oxygenation takes place. Then oxygenated blood is supplied to the all parts of body. So in this way blood is circulating in one direction. Double Circuit Circulation: The circulation in which blood circulates in two different circuits called double cireuit circulation. Double circuit circulation further divided into two types. 1. Incomplete Double Circuit Circulation 2. Complete Double Circuit Circulation i ircuit Circulation: Incomplete Double Cireuit Circulation found in reptiles and amphibians. Heart of reptiles consists of three chambers except crocodile (four chambers). a, Right Atrium b. Left Atrium c. Ventriele Right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from body while left atrium receive oxygenated blood from lungs through pulmonary vein. Between left and right atrium a septum is present which prevent mixing of both types of blood.

After contraction LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM of ventricle mix blood is supply to different parts of body.

Right Atrium, iii, Left Ventricle iv. _ Right Ventricle Left atrium receive oxygenated blood through pulmonary vein while right atrium receive deoxygenated blood of body through vena cava. Both types of blood are not mixed. because a septum is present between left and right atrium. Due to contraction of both atria both type of blood is goes into left and right ventricle. Due to contraction of left ventricle oxygenated blood supply to body parts through systemic aorta, While due to contraction of right ventricle deoxygenated blood supply to lungs through pulmonary aorta. (a) Systemic Circulation (b) Pulmonary Cireulation Systemic Circulation: The circulation in which blood is circulates between heart and body called systemic circulation. Pulmonary Circulation: The circulation in which blood is circulates between heart and lungs called pulmonary circulation. Blood: Blood is viscous, red fluid connective tissue, comprising a colourless plasma in which the blood corpuscles float. Parts of Blood: Blood mainly divided into two parts: i. Liquid part of blood (Plasma) it. Solid part (blood corpuscles) Liquid part of blood (Plasma): Liquid part of blood is known as Plasma.

They are further divided in three types. a. Eosinophills (Acidic) b. Basophills (Basic) & Neutrophills (Neutral) Agranulocytes: Those white blood cells in which food grain are absent called Agranulocytes. They are further divided in two types. i Monocytes il, Lymphocytes © White blood cells produce immunity in the body. . Neutrophils and monocytes are kills the bacteria and virus by the process of Phagocytosis. . Eosinophils, basophils and lymphocytes are producing histamine, antitoxin and heparin. Platelets: They are cell fragments which are produced by metabolism of cells. They help in the clotting of blaod. Function of blood: Blood perform following important functions: a Tra 0) i Blood transport the hormones from endocrine glands to the target organs. ti. Transport of Nutrition: Blood transports digested food, water and other stibstances from alimentary canal to the various parts of body for storage, oxidation or assimilation.

Distribution of body heat: Blood distribute the body heat throughout the body parts in order to maintain the body temperature. iv. Transport of waste product: Blood transport waste product from tissues to the excretory organs for their discharge. v. Transport of Metabolic By-products: Blood transport the metabolic by product from the area of production to other parts of body. Tra vi. i Oxygen is transported from the lungs to all parts of body and carbon dioxide from cells to the lungs for remove. vii. Defence against Diseases: The W.B.C of blood protects the body against diseases by phagocytosis through neutrophils and monocytes, which engulf and digest the germs that enter the blood stream or by antibodies or antitoxins produced by lymphocytes. viii. Protection against its own loss: Blood protection against its own loss by clotting, making a clot over the injured part. Blood disorders: Leukaemia: Leukaemia is also known as blood cancer. It is the malignant disorder of blood (haemopoitic) tissues which is characterized by increasing of W.B.C (leucocytes) in blood. It obstructs the blood formation in bone marrow. It may fatal and cause the death or haemorrhage or infection. The actual cause of lekaemia still unknown but it is thought that leukaemia is developing by ionizing radiation, cytotoxix drug, retrovirus and genetic etc. Thalassemia: It is also blood cancer. Thalassemia is an inherited impairment of haemoglobin production. The abnormality may be heterozygous or homozygous. It is also known as Thalassemia minor in which the synthesis of haemoglobin is only mildly affected and little disability occurs. Homozygous Thalassemia: It is also known as Thalassemia major in which patient unable to synthesis haemoglobin or produce very little and after four months of life develop a profound hypochronic anaemia. It is more common in children. It results to the enlargement of kidney. The regular blood transfusion is only remedy. Evolution of Heart: Evolution means gradual. In evolution of heart many changes have taken place. In Fishes: ‘The heart is shaped two chambered with one atrium and one ventricle. The atrium receives blood of body through sinus venosus and transfers it to ventricle. The ventricle pumps blood to gills (for oxygenation) through conus srterious. In amphibians: Heart is three chambered (two atria and one ventricle). The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from body and left atrium receives oxygenated from lungs. These two types of blood are mixed in ventricle.

Two atria and two ventricles. The two type of blood remain separate. The oxygenated blood circulates through the left side deoxygenated through the right side. Man has complex and developed circulatory system. He has complete double circulation. Circulatory system of man consists of two organs. i, Heart ii. Blood vessels Human 4 Heart is a vital organ. It is muscular in structure. Heart acts as pumping station. It pumps the blood to the body. Due to the pumping action of heart, blood circulates through out the body. Size: ‘The size of heart equal to the man fist. Shape: Heart has conical shape. Upper end is broad while lower end is pointed. Upper part called Apex of heart and a lower part is known as base of heart. Zs | TEFFEAROTD jonmre ARCH mer canonio —y, D i apt sMECLAIAN Si PUAMONARY ARTERIES Heart is reddish brown in colour. This colour of heart appears due to presence of blood. Position: Heart is located inside chest cavity between both lungs. Heart is slightly present towards left hand. “cononaft ARTERY BORSA AORTA Covering: Heart is covered by strong double membranous layer called pericardium. Between membranes a fluid is present called as pericardial fluid. « Pericardium and pericardial fluid both protects the hearts from jerks. * Pericardial fluid keeps moist to the heart. * Italso helps in contraction and relaxation of heart. Morphology: Externally heart has smooth surface, Wall of heart is very strong and it is composed of cardiac muscles or striated involuntary muscles. Cardiac muscles are branched in nature and they are arranged in overlapping pattern. The outer surface of heart has an artery called coronary artery. It supplies blood to the wall of heart.

Right atrium b. Left Atrium e. Right Ventricle d. Left Ventricle , Right atrium: It is upper chamber of heart and produce apex of heart. It has comparatively thin walls as compare to ventricles. There are two large vena cavas open into right atrium. 1. Superior Vena Cava 2. Inferior Vena Cava Super Vena Cava: Superior vena cava collects blood from upper parts of body. Inferior Vena Cava: Inferior vena cava collects blood from lower body parts. Bothe vena cava collect deoxygenated blood so right atrium contains deoxygenated blood. ‘These two vena cava opens through an opening called opening of vena cava. Atrioventricular opening: Right atrium opens into right ventricle through an opening called Atrioventricular opening. ‘The atrioventricular openingof right atrium and right ventriole is guarded by three flapped valve called tricuspid. Left Atrium: Its also upper chamber of heart and produce apex of heart. It has also thin walls. Two pair of pulmonary vein is open into the left atrium, They cary oxygenated blood from lungs, so left atrium contain oxygenated blood. Pulmonary veins are open through an opening in left atrium called opening of pulmonary vein. Bicuspid Valve: The atrovetricular opening of left atrium and left ventricle is guarded by two flapped valve called bicuspid valve. tu: A muscular septum is present between right and left atrium known as inter atrial septum. It prevents the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in both atria. Right Ventricle: It is lower chamber of heart and form base of heart. It has thick walled and conical shape. Right ventricle contains deoxygenated blood which is come from the contraction of right atrium. Pulmonary Aorta: ‘The large artery arises from right ventricle called pulmonary aorta. Out of heart it is divided into left and right pulmonary artery. It supplies deoxygenated blood to lungs. — Pulmonary aorta has a valve at its origin called semilumar valve. It prevents back ward flow of blood into right ventricle. LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF www.

Left ventricle contain oxygenated blood which comes from left atrium. Systemic Aorta: A large artery is also arising from left ventricle called systemic aorta. Out of heart it divides into branches and produce arterial system of body. It supplies oxygenated blood through out body parts. Semilunar valve is also present in systemic aorta which prevents if backward flow of blood, Inter Ventricular Septum: A muscular septum is present between Tight and left ventricles called inter ventricular septum. It prevents mixing of aed blood with deoxygenated blood. Papillary Muscles: Muscular threads are present between walls of ventricle and inter ventricular septum called papillary muscles. The muscle fibers help in the contraction of ventricles. Cardiac Cycle: i, During the contraction of heart first both atria are contract and then both ventricles are contract. ‘During relaxation first both atria are relax and then both ventricles are relax. The contraction of atria and ventricles is known as Systole of heart. ‘The relaxation of atria and ventricles is known as Diastole of heart. v. The events which are take place during systole and diastole of heart called Cardiac Cycle. Heart Beat: Rhythmic movements of heart are called heart beats. Heart beat consists of seventy two times systole and seventy two times diastole of heart per minute. So, normal heart beat is 72 times/minute. During heart beat heart is produced two types of sounds. i, LUB ii. DUP LUB sound preduce when ventricles contract and blood exerts pressure on bicuspid and tricuspid valves. DUP: DUP sound produced when both aorta contract and blood exerts pressure to the semilunar valve. Right atrium has known as sino-atrial node. It receives impulses from C.N.S. These impulses stimulate 5 - A node which arise waves. ‘The waves affect the wall of atrium due to which atria are contract.

It stimulated by the waves of S — A node and also generates waves. These waves effect on the papillary muscles which result these muscles are contract and systole of ventricle takes place. So the first both atria are contract then both ventricles are contract. The time difference between transfers of signals from S-A node to A-V node is 0.15 second. , Pace Maker: S-A node is also known as pace maker because it provides acceleration to the contraction of heart wall. When the S-A node cannot perform its function properly than artificial pace maker is used. It is an instrument which provides electric signals to walls of heart for contraction. Artificial pace maker implant beneath the skin in chest cavity and two wires are also connecting with heart. The artificial pace maker has battery which produces electric signals and transfers it to heart. It stimulates the contraction of heart. Blue Babies: (Cvanosis) The bluish discolouration of skin and mucous membrane called blue babies. It is cyanotic, congenital disease which is caused by defect on inter articular and inter ventricular septum. Due to defect or un development of inter articular and inter ventricular septum oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are mixed and caused bluish appearance of skin and mucous membrane, Blood Vessels: Those vessels which help in the circulation of blood in the body callled bload vessels. There are ‘three types of blood vessels found in man. L Artery ii, Capillaties iii, Vein Artery: Those blood vessels which arise from the heart and runs away from heart are called arteries: Most of arteries contain oxygenated blood except pulmonary artery. Arteries are present deep in tissues. These are responsible for supply of blood to the whole body. Structuse: Arteries are thick walled blood vessels. Walls of arteries consist of three layers. i. ‘Tunica Externa Artery Tunica Media iii Tunica Interna Tunica Externa: It is outer most layers.

Blood flow: Inside the artery blood flow in jerks because heart pumps blood to the artery. Function: Prime function of artery is supply of blood to the whole body parts. It also helps the transportation of material in body. Grading: Heart > Aorta > Arch > Artery > Arteriale > Capillary Capillaries: At the level of tissue or cell artery is divided into fine branches called capillaries. Structure: Capillaries are very small microscopic and fine blood vessels. Wall of capillaries composed of single layer of endothelial cells. It has permeable wall.

Some important CVD are discussed as follows: i. Atherosclerosis: It is a disease of the arterial wall (intimae) which loses its elasticity. Gradually its inner layer thickness causing narrowing of the artery and consequently imparing the blood flow. The narrowing is due to the formation of fatty lesions called atheromatous plaques (raised patches) in the inner lining of the arteries. These plaques consist of low density lipoproteins or LDL (cholesterol and proteins), decaying muscle cells, fibrous tissue, clumps of blood platelets and some times calcium. The arteries become extremely hard and the disease is called ar esteesteroels or simply hardening of the arteries. The pectiite cause of artherosclerosis are smoking, hypertension, male gender, obesity, physical inactivivty, a high serum cholesterol level, severe diabetes, family history of arterial diseases and possibly an anxious or aggressive personality. The risk of atherosclerosis increases with age. Unfortunately atherosclerosis produces no symptoms until the damage to the arteries is severe enough to restrict blood flow. Restriction of the blood flow to the heart muscles due to atherosclerosis can cause angina pectors (pain in the chest and arms or jaws usually during exercise or stress). ti. Hypertension: When the mean arterial pressure is grater than the upper range, accepted normality, the person is said to be hypertensive having hypertension. Usually a mean arterial pressure of grater then 110 mm Hg under resting conditions is considered to be hypertensive. This level normally occur when the diastolic blood pressure is grater than 90 mm Hg and the systolic pressure grater than 135 - 140 mm Hg.

Several factors such as heredity, higher intake of salts in diet, smoking, obesity and disorders of kidney or adrenal gland are responsible for hypertension. iii. Thrombus Formation: The formation of blood clot (thrombus) within an intact blood vessel is initiated by atherosclerotic plaques. The plaques when destroy the endothelium of the blood vessel, platelets gather at the damaged site to initiate the process of clot. As the growth of the plaque and clot progresses, the lumen of the artery narrows or completely blocks. Ultimately, the blood supply to the concerned organ is either reduced or prevented. Thus due to the lack of oxygen and nutrient, the function of the target organ is impaired. Thrombus of the coronary artery or carotid artery may cause the death of the victim due to heart attack (myocardial infraction) and stroke. If a clot dislodges and travels in the blood stream, it is termed as embolus. It can obstruct any small artery such as coronary artery; the out come ranges from angina to heart attack. iv, Coronary Thrombosis: Narrowing or blockage of one of the coronary arteries (which supply blood to the heart muscle) by a thrombus is called coronary thrombosis. This causes a section of the heart muscles to die because it has been deprived of oxygen. It is one of the main processes involved in coronary heart disease. Sudden blockage of a coronary artery can cause acute myocardial infarction. v. Myocardial Infarction: (Heart Attack) It refers to the death of the part of heart muscles characterized in most cases by severe continuous chest pain. This is commonly knows as heart attach. Due to the blockage of any of the coronary artery either by thrombus or embolus, the blood supply to some cardiac muscles stops. The area of heart muscle which has zero or little flow of blood that it cannot sustain cardiac muscle function is said to be infarcted and the process is called myocardial infarction. As a consequence. the affected cardiac muscles die due to lack of nutrients and oxygen. If the damaged area is small, the victim may recover from the heart attack but death of the large area of cardiac muscles is fatal. vi. Stroke and Prevention: Stroke implies to damage to part of the brain caused by interruption to its blood supply (either by a thrombus or embolus) or leakage of blood outside of vessel walls. It is characterized by the impairment of the sensation, movement, or function controlled by damaged part of the brain. Damage to any one cerebral hemisphere can cause weakness or paralysis of one side of the body called hemiplegia. Hypertension and atherosclerosis are among the most common causes. The stroke can be prevented by keeping the blood pressure at normal range, through a proper diet. Salts should be used in less quantity as they increases blood pressure. Fats should also be reduced especially those which are tich in cholesterol. They cause thrombus formation resulting in atherosclerosis of the arteries particularly the coronary arteries. Exercise should be regular habit of life. At least 30 minutes brisk walk per day. Smoking should be avoided. Tension is the major cause of hypertension. The life should be made easy and free of extra worries.

Small haemorrhage are classified according to their size. The massive accumulation of blood within a tissue is called haematoma. The haemorrhage may occur any where in the body. But the most dangerous is the brain haemorrhage causing stroke. Lymphatic System: “tyorph Copitaries In the Tissue Spaces “A system of blind vessels that drains lymph from all aver the body back into the blood stream is called lymphatic system”. Lymphatic system is not only consists lymph and lymphatic vessels while it also consists of spleen, thymus, tonsils, appendix and small intestine. Components of Lymphatic System: Lymphatic system consists of following components. i. Lymph Vessel ii. Lymph iii. _ Lymph Node Lymph Vessel: The vessel of lymphatic system is known as lymph vessel. It is divided into lymph, capillary, lymphatic vessel and collecting duct. Lymph capillaries are fine and microscopic. branches of lymph vessel. It is present at the blood capillaries bed. It absorbs the releasing fluid from blood capillaries. Lymph capillaries are combining and produce comparatively thick walled vessels called lymphatic vessels. Its wall is composed by smooth muscles and internally it contain valve. Lymphatic vessels are open into large vessel which is known as collection duct. It opens into large vein near the neck region. Lymph is colourless fluid which is produce by the secretion of blood capillaries, At the level of blood capillaries except Red Blood Cell and plasma protein, water, White Blood Cells, Bacteria, virus, nitrogenous waste and useful substances are come out and store in the sinuses found between the cells. ‘The 85% tissue fluid is reabsorb in the blood at the level of vein but remaining 15% tissue fluid is absorb through lymph capillaries and back into blood. Lumph Node: Various lymph vessels are open into the circular structure called lymph node. ‘They are microscopic to 1 inch in diameter. Lymph node consists of lymphatic tissues. It contains lymphocytes, antibiotics and macrophage. They kill the virus and bacteria of tissue fluid and send the clean tissue fluid to the blood. Lymphatic system performs three important functions. a. Drainage of body fluid b.. Defense of body c. Absorption and delivery of fats. LES) Bee edd tl Fig aL pee WWW.USMANWEB.COM> USINVIANWEB ALL CLASS NOTES DOWNLOAD IN PDF WWW.USMANWEB.COM Drainage of body fluid: Lymphatic vessels act as drainage channels for water and plasma proteins that have leaked away from blood at capillary bed and that must be delivered back to blood circulation. Without which death can occur into 24 hours. , Micro organisms, foreign cells, cellular debris in the lymph are removed by macrophages residing in the lymph a nodes. These are also the site for [fg differentiation of the B cells into antibody secreting cells. ie Absorption and delivery of fats: Lymph capillaries . called — lacteals penetrate the villi of the small intestine where fats are absorbed and delivered to the blood cireulatory system. Immune System: ‘The ability of the body to resist micro- organism, their toxins (if any), foreign cells and abnormal cells of body is called asimmunity and the system is termed as immune system. logy: k The study of the functioning and disorders of the immune system is called as immunolog. Types of Immune System: They are of two types: i Innate immune system (non-specific immune system) ii, Adaptive immune system (specific immune system) Innate immune nor ecific immune It is natural immune system and is non- specific ie. prevents infection of all micro-organisms. It controls the activity of micro-organisms and includes physical body organs like skin and mucous and also chemical substances like gastric juices and lysozyme ete. Physical body organ: {First Line Defence) ‘Skin and mucous membrane act as first line of defense. Skin does't allow the infections agents to enter. Some areas are protected by movement of mucous and secretions {lysozyme in tears) which destroy microbes.

They destroy micro-organisms and other particles, They are of following types. Neutrophils: Ingest bacteria very actively and their life span is short. Monocytes: live for long time and act as presenting cells for antigens so termed antigen presenting cells. ‘Fipre 28, lureune epuemblack diagram They destroy infected cells and the abnormal cancerous cells. They produce proteins which form pores in infected cells and destroy them. The phenomenon is called as cytotoxicity. Antimicrobial proteins: In the body certain proteins are produced which destroy infectious micro-organism, and are termed as antimicrobial proteins, These are as follows: Lysozymes: Itis an enzyme present in tears, saliva and mucous secretion. It kills bacteria. Compliment Proteins: These are secreted by macrophages and kill bacteria directly. Interferons: ‘These are produce by virally infected cells or some lymphocytes. They resist against viral infection. Inflammatory response: It is a condition of fire in any part of body due to injury or infection by micro organism. The infected part becomes swollen, redish and feeling of heat and pain occurs. When injury occurs, basophiles and most cells release chemical substances called histamine. It attracts phagocytes and macrophages towards. injured place where they destroy micro-organisms and remove dirt and cell broken parts. In warm blooded animals infection and inflammation causes fever. It's because pyrogen released from W.B.C’s and increases the body temperature. Moderate fever is useful as prevent the growth of micro-organism and increase production of phagocytes and interform so damaged tissues are repaired rapidly light fever is dangerous for the internal tissues of the body.

It is considered as third line of defense and works with the second line defense system. In adaptive immune system special types of lymphocytes play an important role called B — Cells and T-Cells. They are produced in bone marrow or thymus. , Any organism or foreign particle, which enters the body and disturbs immune system, is called as antigen. It is a specific soluble protein formed by lymphocytes in response to antigen. The antibody combines with antigen and removes it from the body. Memory Cell: Immune system has memory cells for antigen, when there is another attack by the same organism, there is a very quick and effective response against it. is iv System: i. Hummoral immunity ii. Cell-Mediated immunity Hummorai immunity: When B - Cells produce antibodies in the circulatory system and these antibodies develop immunity. It is called hummoral immunity. This immunity is effective against bacteria. It depends on the appearance of antibodies in the blood. This antibody serves as antigenic receptor. When infection is cause then antibodies born by few B — Cells and bind with surface of Micro-organism. This antigen and antibodies complex to cause the rapid division of B — Cell which result effectors cells are produce called plasma cells. These cells secrete antibodies in the blood circulation that help aereoeion of particular antigen, Sie of the effectors cells do not secrete antibody, they becomes memory cells. The memory cells play omportant role in future immunity to this specific organism in case of re-infections. Cell-. ted immunii This ‘pats immunity is contributed by the second family of lymphocytes called “I” cells, They do not secrete antibodies. The cell mediated immunity in case by killing of infected cells, and aiding in inflammation. This type of immunity is particularly against the defense if viruses and endoparasites that they hide with in the host cell, tumor cells and Fungi. Types of “T” cells: Several types of T cells contribute to cell mediated immunity. i. Helper T cells (Tx) ii. Cyotoxic Cells (Tc) iii. Suppressor Cells (Ts) Active and Passive Immunity: Active Immunity: The immunity which is cesalcped by own immune response is called active immunity. The immunity which is consequence of natural infection called natural active immunity. Artificial active Immunity: The immunity which is developed by artificially through vaccination called artificial active immunity.
