Following results were obtained when the blood samples of four people were tested.
  • A: RBC count is low
  • B: WBC count is high
  • C: Platelets count is low
  • D: amount of sugar is high
(i) The person with which blood sample bleeds more during injuries.
(ii) The person with which blood sample becomes tired even after a short walk?
(iii) The person with which blood sample needs to take antibiotic?
(iv) The person with which blood sample could have problems in kidney.
Figure: Table of persons A-D with blood test results.

Answer

(i) Sample C (low platelets). Platelets help in blood clotting, so with too few of them bleeding does not stop easily.

(ii) Sample A (low RBC count). This is anemia. Less haemoglobin means less oxygen reaches the muscles, so the person tires quickly.

(iii) Sample B (high WBC count). It shows infection in the body, so antibiotics are needed to kill the germs.

(iv) Sample D (high sugar). Persistently high blood sugar (diabetes) damages the kidneys, which filter the blood.

(ii) Which part carries blood from heart to lungs?
(iii) Which valve remains closed when C contracts?
(iv) Which of them brings blood into the heart?
Figure: External view of the heart with labelled parts A, B, C, D and F: B and A are vessels at the top, F is on the right side, C and D are labelled on the left side of the heart.

Answer

(i) The coronary artery (the vessel on the heart surface, which supplies the heart muscle). A stent is placed here during angioplasty.

(ii) The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs.

(iii) Bicuspid (mitral) valve, which closes when the left ventricle (C) contracts, so blood is forced into the aorta and not back into the auricle.

Answer

(a) The coronary artery (A), on the surface of the heart. The stent keeps the blocked artery open.

(b) The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs.

(c) The bicuspid (mitral) valve remains closed when the ventricle C contracts. It stops blood flowing back into the auricle.

Write any two differences between artery and vein. How does blood flow from right ventricle to left auricle? Explain.

Answer

Differences between artery and vein (any two):

ArteryVein
Carries blood away from the heartCarries blood towards the heart
Thick, elastic wall; narrow cavityThin wall; wide cavity
Valves absentValves present

Flow from right ventricle to left auricle: Right ventricle contracts and pushes deoxygenated blood through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery, which carries it to the lungs. In the lungs, CO2_2 is removed and the blood takes up oxygen. The oxygenated blood returns through the pulmonary veins to the left auricle.

Report of WBC, RBC and Platelet counts of a person is shown into following table.
Blood cellsNo. of blood cells
W30,00,000
X3,000
Y3,50,000
(i) Which of the blood cells is in normal condition?
(ii) Write a problem that arises due to the number of X blood cells.
(iii) If the counts of cell Y decrease and reaches 1,50,000 what would be the problem in the person?
(iv) Name the blood cell W.

Answer

Normal values: RBC 45 to 60 lakh/mm3^3, WBC 4,000 to 11,000/mm3^3, platelets 1.5 to 4 lakh/mm3^3.

(i) Y (platelets, 3,50,000) is normal.

(ii) X (WBC, 3,000) is below normal. This is leukopenia: weak immunity, so the person gets infections easily.

(iii) 1,50,000 is the lowest normal value, so there is no problem yet. If it falls below this (thrombocytopenia), bleeding will not stop easily and blood clotting is poor.

(iv) W is the red blood cell (RBC, erythrocyte).

Figure: Table of blood cell counts for cells A, B, C (included in the text).

Answer

(a) A (WBC, 3,000) is below normal (4,000 to 11,000). He has leukopenia, so his immunity is weak and he gets infections easily.

(b) B is platelets (thrombocytes).

(c) C is RBC. If it is too low, anemia occurs.

(d) B (platelets), because platelets help in clotting the blood.

X is RBC (biconcave, no nucleus), Y is WBC (irregular, nucleus present), Z is platelets (no nucleus).

(a) X (RBC). Shortage of RBC or haemoglobin causes anemia.

(b) Y (WBC). It fights germs and gives immunity.

(c) Z (platelets). Too many platelets can form clots in arteries and raise the risk of heart attack.

AntigenABD
Blood clotseenunseenseen
Student B:
AntigenABD
Blood clotunseenseenseen
Figure: Two tables, one for each student, giving blood clot seen/unseen against antigens A, B, D (included in the text).

Answer

Blood clotting (agglutination) with an anti-serum shows that the antigen is present.

Student A: clot with A and D, none with B. Antigens A and D are present, so the blood group is A positive (A+).

Student B: clot with B and D, none with A. Antigens B and D are present, so the blood group is B positive (B+).

  • A-positive: RBCs have antigen A and also the Rh factor (antigen D).
  • O-negative: RBCs have neither antigen A nor antigen B and have no Rh factor (antigen D).

The person is probably having a heart attack.

My role: Stay calm, make the person sit or lie in a comfortable position, loosen tight clothes, give fresh air and call an ambulance or take the person to hospital quickly. Do CPR if the person becomes unconscious.

(i) Which artery is involved in this disorder?
(ii) How can it be tested without using x-ray, describe in short?
(iii) Which treatment method is done to place stent in the artery?

Answer

(i) The coronary artery is involved. It is blocked by fat deposits, so the heart muscle gets too little blood.

(ii) By an ECG (electrocardiogram), which records the electrical activity of the heart through electrodes on the chest, arms and legs. Blood tests and the treadmill test can also help.

(iii) Angioplasty: a thin tube (catheter) with a balloon is passed through an artery up to the blocked part. The balloon is inflated and a stent is placed to keep the artery open.

A has a thick wall and a narrow cavity, so it is an artery. B has a thin wall and a wide cavity, so it is a vein.

(i) A (artery) has no valve and takes blood to body parts other than the lungs (the aorta and its branches).

(ii) A (artery): blockage of the coronary artery stops blood flow to the heart muscle and causes a heart attack.

(iii) Differences in pulmonary circulation:

Artery (A)Vein (B)

Explain the main circulations of pure blood to the organs and purification of impure blood.

A is the lungs and B is a body organ supplied by the systemic circuit.

(a) The pulmonary artery carries impure blood from the right ventricle at high pressure.

(b) If B does not work properly, the organ is not supplied well with oxygen and nutrients and its wastes are not removed, so the body functions suffer and the person becomes ill.

(c) Pulmonary circulation: impure blood from the right ventricle goes through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. There carbon dioxide is released and oxygen is taken up. The pure blood returns through the pulmonary veins to the left auricle.

OR Systemic circulation: pure blood passes from the left auricle to the left ventricle, which pumps it through the aorta and its branches to all body organs. The organs take oxygen and nutrients, and the impure blood returns through the vena cavae to the right auricle.

Valves are present in veins but not in arteries, why?

Answer

Veins carry blood at low pressure back to the heart, often against gravity (for example from the legs). The valves close and stop the blood flowing backwards.

Arteries carry blood at high pressure pumped by the heart, which pushes it forward, so backflow does not occur and no valves are needed.
