Class 11 : Biology (In English) – Lesson 15: Body Fluids and Circulation
EXPLANATION & SUMMARY
🌱✨ Introduction
🧠 Circulation is the process of transporting materials (nutrients, gases, hormones, wastes) throughout the body.
🌿 In multicellular organisms like humans, body fluids (🩸 blood and 💧 lymph) serve as transport media.
⚙️ A pumping organ (heart) and a network of vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries) ensure efficient distribution.
💡 Concept:
➡️ Blood = main fluid for transport
➡️ Lymph = secondary fluid for drainage and immunity
📘 This chapter explains composition of body fluids, structure of heart, mechanism of circulation, and regulation.
🩸 Body Fluids
🧬 1️⃣ Blood
A connective tissue composed of plasma and formed elements.
🧪 (a) Plasma
Straw-colored fluid (~55% of blood)
90–92% water + 6–8% proteins (albumin, globulin, fibrinogen) + ions, glucose, hormones
Functions:
Transport of nutrients, gases, wastes
Maintain osmotic pressure
Blood clotting and immunity
✏️ Note: Fibrinogen → clotting; Albumin → osmotic balance; Globulins → defense.
🧫 (b) Formed Elements
🩸 45% of blood; consist of:
1️⃣ Erythrocytes (RBCs)
Biconcave, enucleated cells (in mammals)
Contain hemoglobin (Hb) — oxygen carrier
Life span: ~120 days; destroyed in spleen (graveyard of RBCs)
Formed in bone marrow
Function: O₂ transport
2️⃣ Leukocytes (WBCs)
Nucleated, colorless, defense cells
Types:
Granulocytes: Neutrophils (phagocytosis), Eosinophils (allergy), Basophils (histamine release)
Agranulocytes: Lymphocytes (immunity), Monocytes (phagocytosis)
Function: Immunity
3️⃣ Platelets (Thrombocytes)
Small fragments, no nucleus
Lifespan: 7–10 days
Help in blood clotting
Count: 1.5–3 lakh/mm³
💡 Concept: Plasma + RBC + WBC + Platelets = Whole blood
💧 2️⃣ Lymph (Tissue Fluid)
Formed from plasma leaking out of capillaries
Lacks RBC, has WBC (lymphocytes)
Flows in lymph vessels
Functions:
Transport of fat (from intestine)
Returns excess fluid to blood
Role in defense
✏️ Note: Lymphatic system maintains fluid balance and immunity.
🫀 Human Circulatory System
🧠 Closed circulatory system with heart, blood vessels, valves.
🩸 Blood flows in fixed pathways, ensuring controlled pressure.
❤️ Structure of Human Heart
📘 Location: Thoracic cavity, between lungs
🧩 Size: Fist-sized, ~300 g
💡 Covering: Pericardium with pericardial fluid
🫀 Four chambers:
Right atrium (RA)
Right ventricle (RV)
Left atrium (LA)
Left ventricle (LV)
💡 Valves:
Tricuspid – between RA & RV
Bicuspid (Mitral) – between LA & LV
Semilunar valves – at exits of ventricles
🧬 Function: Prevent backflow; ensure unidirectional flow.
💨 Blood Flow Pathway
1️⃣ Deoxygenated blood:
Body → vena cava → RA → tricuspid → RV → pulmonary artery → lungs
2️⃣ Oxygenated blood:
Lungs → pulmonary veins → LA → bicuspid → LV → aorta → body
💡 Concept: Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood; pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood.
🔁 Circulation Types
🌀 1️⃣ Pulmonary Circulation
Blood between heart ↔ lungs
Enables gas exchange
🌍 2️⃣ Systemic Circulation
Blood between heart ↔ body tissues
Delivers O₂, removes CO₂
💡 Double circulation = Pulmonary + Systemic
➡️ Maintains complete separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood (in mammals).
⚙️ Cardiac Cycle
🧠 Sequence of events in one heartbeat (~0.8 sec):
1️⃣ Atrial systole – atria contract, blood → ventricles
2️⃣ Ventricular systole – ventricles contract, blood → arteries
3️⃣ Joint diastole – relaxation, chambers fill
🫀 Heart rate: ~72 beats/min
💓 Stroke volume: ~70 mL
🩸 Cardiac output: HR × SV = 72 × 70 ≈ 5040 mL/min (~5 L/min)
✏️ Note: Cardiac output = total blood pumped per minute.
🧬 Heart Sounds
🎧 LUB – closure of AV valves (systole start)
🎧 DUB – closure of semilunar valves (systole end)
💡 Abnormal sounds → murmurs (valve defects)
⚡ Heartbeat Regulation
🧠 Myogenic heart – initiated by SA node (natural pacemaker)
SA node → generates impulse → atria contract
Impulse → AV node → Bundle of His → Purkinje fibers → ventricles contract
💡 Nervous control:
Sympathetic → increases rate
Parasympathetic → decreases rate
Adrenaline → increases rate
📈 Electrocardiogram (ECG)
🧪 Graph of electrical activity
P wave → atrial depolarization
QRS complex → ventricular depolarization
T wave → ventricular repolarization
💡 Used to diagnose cardiac abnormalities.
💉 Blood Vessels
Vessel Direction Feature
Arteries Heart → body Thick wall, high pressure
Veins Body → heart Thin wall, valves, low pressure
Capillaries Between arteries & veins Thin, exchange site
✏️ Note: Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood; pulmonary vein carries oxygenated.
💧 Portal System
🧠 Blood flows through two capillary beds before returning to heart.
📘 Example: Hepatic portal system – gut → liver → vena cava
💡 Helps in nutrient regulation and detoxification.
🧪 Blood Pressure
🧠 Force exerted by blood on arterial walls
Systolic: during ventricular contraction (~120 mmHg)
Diastolic: during relaxation (~80 mmHg)
📈 Measured by sphygmomanometer
⚠️ Hypertension: >140/90 mmHg
⚠️ Hypotension: <90/60 mmHg
🧠 Regulation of Cardiac Activity
📘 Controlled by nervous and hormonal systems
Medulla oblongata – cardiac center
Hormones – adrenaline, noradrenaline
Baroreceptors – detect pressure changes
Chemoreceptors – sense pO₂, pCO₂
💡 Maintains stable cardiac output and blood supply.
🧬 Disorders
1️⃣ Hypertension: High BP → heart strain
2️⃣ Coronary artery disease (CAD): plaque buildup
3️⃣ Angina pectoris: temporary chest pain
4️⃣ Myocardial infarction: heart attack due to blockage
5️⃣ Heart failure: inefficient pumping
💡 Lifestyle, diet, and stress affect heart health.
🌍 Importance of Circulation
🩸 Delivers O₂, nutrients
💨 Removes CO₂, wastes
⚡ Distributes hormones
🧠 Maintains homeostasis
🌿 Defends via immune cells
🌍 Why This Lesson Matters

📊 Explains blood tests, ECG, BP readings
⚙️ Key for understanding diseases and lifestyle management
📝 Quick Recap
🩸 Blood = plasma + cells
💧 Lymph = tissue fluid + WBC
🫀 Heart = 4 chambers, valves
🔁 Double circulation = pulmonary + systemic
⚙️ Cardiac cycle = systole + diastole
🎧 Heart sounds: LUB, DUB

🩺 Disorders: Hypertension, CAD, MI
📘 Summary
The human circulatory system transports essential materials via blood and lymph. Blood consists of plasma and formed elements. The heart, a four-chambered pump, ensures double circulation—oxygenated and deoxygenated blood remain separate. The cardiac cycle coordinates contraction and relaxation, producing heart sounds and measurable blood pressure. SA node initiates impulses, regulated by neural and hormonal signals. ECG traces electrical activity. Disorders like hypertension, angina, and heart attack emphasize the need for cardiovascular health. Circulation sustains life by maintaining homeostasis, transport, and defense.

🧠 Correct match:
(a)-(iii), (b)-(v), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i), (e)-(iv)
🔵 Question 4. Why do we consider blood as a connective tissue?
🟢 Answer:
🩸 Blood is a connective tissue because:
It originates from mesoderm (like other connective tissues).
Has cells (RBC, WBC, platelets) suspended in matrix (plasma).
Connects different organs by transporting materials (O₂, CO₂, nutrients, hormones).
✔️ Provides integration and regulation.
🔵 Question 5. What is the difference between lymph and blood?
🟢 Answer:
Feature Blood Lymph
Colour Red (haemoglobin) Colourless
RBC Present Absent
Platelets Present Few
Function Transport gases, nutrients Return interstitial fluid, immunity
Circulation Closed Open-ended vessels
✔️ Lymph carries lymphocytes and returns tissue fluid to blood.
🔵 Question 6. What is meant by double circulation? What is its significance?
🟢 Answer:
🌿 Double circulation: Blood passes twice through heart in one complete cycle —
Pulmonary circulation (heart → lungs → heart)
Systemic circulation (heart → body → heart)
💡 Significance:
Prevents mixing of O₂ and CO₂ blood.
Maintains high oxygen supply.
Efficient for warm-blooded animals.
🔵 Question 7. Write the differences between:
🧪 (a) Blood and Lymph — (see Q5)

🔵 Question 8. Describe the evolutionary change in the pattern of heart among the vertebrates.
🟢 Answer:
🌿 Evolution shows increasing separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood:
🐟 Fish – 2-chambered (1 auricle, 1 ventricle)
🐸 Amphibians – 3-chambered (2 auricles, 1 ventricle)
🐍 Reptiles – Incomplete 4-chambered
🐦🐘 Birds and mammals – Complete 4-chambered heart
✔️ Improves efficiency of oxygen transport and temperature regulation.
🔵 Question 9. Why do we call our heart myogenic?
🟢 Answer:
🫀 Human heart’s contractions originate within cardiac muscles themselves, not from nerves.
💡 The SA node generates impulses → automatic rhythmicity.
✔️ Hence, heart is myogenic.
🔵 Question 10. Sino-atrial node is called the pacemaker of our heart. Why?
🟢 Answer:
🧠 SA node (in right atrium) generates electrical impulses that initiate each heartbeat.
➡️ Sets rhythm and rate of contraction.
✔️ Therefore called natural pacemaker.
🔵 Question 11. What is the significance of atrio-ventricular node and atrio-ventricular bundle in the functioning of heart?
🟢 Answer:
🌿 AV node receives impulse from SA node and delays it slightly for atrial contraction.
⚡ AV bundle (Bundle of His) conducts impulse to ventricles via Purkinje fibres → coordinated contraction.
✔️ Ensures sequential atrial → ventricular contraction.
🔵 Question 12. Define a cardiac cycle and the cardiac output.
🟢 Answer:
🫀 Cardiac cycle: Sequence of one complete heartbeat (atrial + ventricular systole and diastole).
⏱ Duration ≈ 0.8 sec.
💡 Cardiac output: Volume of blood pumped by each ventricle per minute.
📏 CO = Stroke volume × Heart rate
= 70 mL × 72/min ≈ 5 L/min
🔵 Question 13. Explain heart sounds.
🟢 Answer:
🧠 Two main sounds:
‘Lub’ – closure of AV valves (beginning of systole)
‘Dub’ – closure of semilunar valves (end of systole)
✔️ Abnormal sounds = heart murmurs.
🔵 Question 14. Draw a standard ECG and explain the different segments in it.
🟢 Answer:
🩺 Electrocardiogram (ECG): Graphical record of electrical activity of heart.
Waves:
P-wave: Atrial depolarization
QRS complex: Ventricular depolarization
