VALUE BASED / PRACTICAL BASED QUESTIONS
MARKED QUESTIONS MAY HAVE FOR REVISION QUESTIONS.
This Section is not meant for classroom discussion. It is being given to promote self-study and self
testing amongst the Resonance students.

1. The human body has an organ A which acts as a double pump. The oxygenated blood coming from
the lungs through a blood vessel B enters the upper left chamber C of the double pump. When
chamber C contracts , then blood goes into lower left chamber D. The contraction of chamber D
forces the blood to go into a blood vessel E which supplies oxygenated blood to all the organs of the
body (except the lungs) The deoxygenated blood coming out of the body organs is taken by a blood
vessel F to the right upper chamber G of pumping organ. Contraction of chamber G forces the
deoxygenated blood into right lower chamber H. And finally the contraction of chamber H sends the
deoxygenated blood in to lungs through a blood vessel I.
(A) What is organ A ? (B) Name the blood vessel (i) B (ii) E (iii) F, and (iv) I.
(C) What are chambers (i) C, and (ii) D ? (D) What are chambers (i) G and (ii) H ?
