Passage Based Question


  1. Complete the given passage with appropriate words or
    phrases.
    Heart beat is the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of
    the heart. Rate of heart beat is under neural and hormonal
    regulation. The cardiac centre lies in (i) of the brain. The
    cardio-inhibitor is connected with the heart through (ii) and
    cardio-accelerator through (iii). (iv) hormone accelerates
    heart beat under normal conditions, while hormone (v) does
    same function during emergency. These hormones directly
    influence (vi). (vii) hormone secreted by thyroid gland
    increases oxidative metabolism of body cells.
    Assertion & Reason


In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A)
is given and a corresponding statement of Reason (R) is given
just below it. Of the statements, mark the correct answer as :


(a) if both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) if both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation
of A
(c) if A is true but R is false
(d) if both A and R are false.



  1. Assertion : Deficiency of vitamin K causes blood loss
    during an injury.


Reason : Vitamin K is essential for synthesis of
prothrombin.


  1. Assertion : An individual experiences erythrocytopenia
    at high altitudes.
    Reason : At high altitude erythrocytopenia helps to meet
    increased oxygen demand.

  2. Assertion : Blood in arteries flow under high pressure.
    Reason : Arteries pump blood to different body parts.

  3. Assertion : In arteriosclerosis, clot formation in coronary
    artery may lead to heart attack.
    Reason : Cholesterol deposition and calcification cause
    hardening of arteries.

  4. Assertion : Marriage between Rh– woman and Rh+ man
    results in incompatability during pregnancy.
    Reason : Rh– blood of mother stimulates formation of
    Rh antibodies in foetal blood.
    Figure Based Questions

  5. Refer to the given graphical representation of the electric
    current produced by the excitation of the cardiac muscles
    in normal condition and answer the following questions.


(a) What do wave P, QRS and T represent?
(b) Which wave marks the end of systole?
(c) What is the significance of QRS complex?


  1. Study the given flow chart of double circulation and answer
    the following questions.


(a) Identify the A, B C and D chambers of human heart.
(b) Name the vessels which carry deoxygenated blood to
chamber A.
(c) What do X and Y represent?
(d) To which chamber of the heart do the pulmonary
veins carry oxygenated blood from lungs?
