(vi)

Production of RBCs

: Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow. It is the factory to produce RBCs.

(vii)

Junction

: Bones provide junction or attachment to skeletal the muscle that helps invisible movement.

(viii)

Self-repair

: Whenever bones are damaged, they are capable of doing self-repair.

 

Q.3 Explain the structure of the heart with the help of a diagram.

Ans. The human heart is a four-chambered muscular organ shaped and sized roughly like a man's closed fist with two-thirds of the mass to the left of midline, self-repair.

Internal View of the Heart

Fig: Structure of heart.Fig: Structure of heart.

The heart is like a powerful pump, and its internal space is divided into four chambers:

  • Right Atrium: This chamber receives deoxygenated blood from the systemic veins.
  • Right Ventricle: From the right atrium, blood is pumped into the right ventricle, which then propels it towards the lungs for oxygenation.
  • Left Atrium: Oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium.
  • Left Ventricle: The left ventricle, being the strongest chamber, pumps oxygen-rich blood throughout the body.

Note: The atria receive blood, and the ventricles pump it out.

Valves of the Heart: For the heart to function effectively, it relies on two types of valves:

  • Atrioventricular Valves (Cuspid Valves): These valves, found between the atria and ventricles, ensure that when the ventricles contract, blood doesn't flow back into the atria.
  • Semilunar Valves: Located at the bases of the large vessels leaving the ventricles, these valves close when the ventricles relax, preventing blood from flowing back into the ventricles.


Q.4 Explain different types of joints in the human body.

Ans. Following are the different types of joints,

(i)  Immovable or fibrous joints: They are fixed joints. They never move. Example: joints of the skull.

Fig: Fixed joints.Fig: Fixed joints.

(ii) Slightly movable or cartilaginous joints:

These joints provide very little movement. Example: backbone joints, pelvic joints.

Fig: Hip bones.Fig: Hip bones.(i) Freely movable or synovial joints.

These joints provide different movements. There are five main types of movable joints,

a.  Hinge joint. These joints allow a forward and backward movement. Example; knee joints, elbow joints.

b. Pivot joint. These joints give a rotation movement. Such as the movement of the neck.

c.  Ball and socket joint. In these joints, one bone has ball-like shape and other has a socket like a shape. They are fit together to make a free movable joint. Example shoulder joint and hip joint.

d. Saddle joint. It is a point where one of the bones forming the joint is shaped like a saddle with the other bone resting on it like a rider on a horse. Example: wrist joint.

e.  Gliding joint. It is a joint in which articulation of contiguous bones allows only gliding movements, as in the wrist and the ankle.

Fig: Classification of joints.Fig: Classification of joints.Q 5. Write in detail about the classification of bones.

Ans. Classification of Bones

1. Long bones: They are long and wide. They act as a lever. They are found in legs and arms. Example: humerus, femur, tibia, and fibula.

2. Short bones: They are short in size and cube-shaped. They are found in wrist and phalanges. Example: metatarsal and carpal.

3. Flat bones: These bones are flat and thin. They are composed of a central layer of sponge bone fixed between two outer layers of compact bone. Example: ribs and shoulder.

4. Systemwide bones: These bones are seed-like shaped and developed in the tendons where there is more friction. Example: palms of hands, the sole of feet and kneecaps,

5. Irregular bones: These bones have completely shaped as compared to other types. The bones of the spinal column and skull are examples of these bones.

6. Sutura bones: They are situated in Sutura points in the skull.
