Explain the working mechanism of heart. |
|
Answer» (i) The heart collects blood through both atria and then distributes it through ventricles. (ii) The action of heart includes contractions and relaxations of atria and ventricles respectively called as systole and diastole. (iii) The right atrium receives.de-oxygenated blood from different parts of body and from the heart itself through the openings-superior vena cava, inferior vena cava and coronary sinus respectively. (iv) The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through the openings of the pulmonary veins. (v) The deoxygenated and oxygenated bloods are forced into their respective ventricles. (vi) The contraction of atria is initiated and activated by SA node which spreads the wave of contraction through AV node which are latter transmitted to all parts of ventricles via bundle of His and Purkinje's fibres. (vii) During the contraction of ventricles the backward flow of blood into the atria is prevented by bicuspid and tricuspid valves. (viii) Thus, blood from the left ventricle and right ventricle is forced into the aorta and pulmonary trunk respectively. (ix) In this way the oxygenated blood is supplied to the various parts of the body including the heart itself. |

What is blood clotting ? Describe the process. |
|
Answer» When an injury is caused to a blood vessel bleeding starts which is stopped by a process called blood clotting or blood coagulation. This process can be described under three major steps. (i) First step : (a) At the site of an injury, the blood platelets disintegrate and releases platelet factor-3 (= Platelet thromboplastin). (b) Injured tissues also release thromboplastin. (c) These two factors combine with calcium ions (Ca++) and certain proteins of the blood plasma to form an enzyme called prothrombinase. (ii) Second step : (a) The prothrombinase inactivates heparin (or antiprothrombin-anticoagulant) in the presence of calcium. (b) Prothrombinase catalyzes breakdown of prothrombin (inactive plasma protein) into an active protein thrombin. (iii) Third step : (a) Fibrins are formed by the conversion of inactive fibrinogens in the plasma by the enzyme thrombin. (b) The fibres of fibrin form a dense network upon the wound and trap blood corpuscles to form a clot. (c) The clot seals the wound and stops bleeding. |

Discuss the relevance of Sarojini Naidu’s dream in the present scenario. |
|
Answer» Sarojini Naidu dreams of a magical, imaginative land which is free from all evils. We are also dreaming about India to become an ideal country. But unfortunately, our nation reels under several threats marring the ideals of truth, love, and peace. Sarojini Naidu in the poem expresses her desire in the form of a dream and describes the idealized place as the “magical wood in the land of sleep.” In her imaginative world, the abstract values and ideas of truth, love, and peace are clearly palpable in nature. They are no more just abstract ideas but perceived with proper shape and size. The imagination assumes relevance when it is interpreted as the poet’s vision for her motherland. She wants her motherland to be a dreamland free of vices and evil. When the poem was published in 1905, India was a British colony. Moreover, Sarojini Naidu was not only a poet but also an active participant in the Indian Freedom Movement and the poem reflects her intense desire for an ideal motherland. |
