PLATELETS
• platelets are often classed as blood cells, they are actually fragments of large
bone marrow cells
. called megakaryocytes

BLOOD PRESSURE (BP)
• “Pressure (force per unit area) exerted by the blood on the walls of blood vessels is
called as blood pressure”.
• The blood pressure is the pressure of the blood is arteries.
• The systolic blood pressure (110-140 mmHg) is higher than the diastolic blood
pressure (60-90mmHg).
• The standard value for blood pressure in human is 120/80 mmHg.
• Increased blood pressure value in humans is called as hypertension whereas
decreased value of BP is called as hypotension.
BLOOD GROUPS
Blood groups are classified based on ABO.
Absorption
Ingestion Digestion – – extraction Defecation –
of nutrients removal of
–eating break down from the waste
food. of food. food into the products
blood.
BUCCAL CAVITY
STOMACH
• Stomach lies below the diaphragm and is widest part of alimentary (food) canal
and reservoir where food can be stored for 2 to 6 hours. Here food mixes with
gastric juice. Acid (HCI) in the stomach Kills Bacteria.
SMALL INTESTINE
• It is 7m long tube and consists of three parts: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
Maximum digestion takes place in small intestine.
• Depends upon pancreas, liver and gall bladder.
❖ Pancreas: It is connected to duodenum and produces pancreatic juice.
❖ Liver: It acts as a filter for blood and metabolizes carbohydrates, proteins, and
lipids. It produces bile.
❖ Gall Bladder: It stores and concentrates the bile that emulsifies (breaks down) the
fats.
LARGE INTESTINE
• From small intestine, food enters large intestine. It is 1.5m long and consists colon,
caecum, appendix, and rectum.
The figure below shows the passage of food:
Mouth
• Ingestion Some mechanical And chemical digestion
Esophagus
Stomach
• Mechanical digestion-chemical digestion
Small Intestine
• Chemical digestion- absorption
Large Intestine
• Absorption (Of water)
IMPORTANT ENZYMES OF DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
DISORDERS CAUSES
Asthma Allergic disorder
Pneumonia Bactria (Streptococcus), virus
TB Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Lung Cancer Smoking
Pulmonary Edema Exposure to certain toxins, heart problems, lung injury
