VII. Give very short answer

 

1. Describe about skeletal system.

The skeletal system consists of bones, cartilages and joints. Bones provide a framework for the body. Along with the muscles bones help in movements.

2. Write the functions of epiglottis.

2. List out the functions of the human skeleton.

The skeletal system consists of bones, cartilages and joints. Bones provide a frame work for the body. They give shape and support to the body. Bones along with muscles help in movements such as walking, running, chewing and dancing etc.,

3. Differentiate between the voluntary muscles and involuntary muscles.

Voluntary muscles can be controlled by our will. Example : Muscles of arm.

2. Label the diagram given below to show the four main parts of the urinary system and answer the following questions.



A. Which organ removes extra salts and water from the blood?

Urinary bladder

X. Questions based on Higher Order Thinking Skills

 

1. What will happen if the diaphragm shows no movement?

We inhale and exhale gases due to the movement of the diaphragm. If the diaphragm shows no movement our lungs cannot inhale air from outside; they cannot exhale impure air from the lungs.

2. Why is the heart divided into two halves by a thick muscular wall?

The pure blood in one side of the heart should not get mixed with the impure blood on the other side. So the heart is divided into two halves by a thick muscular wall.

3. Why do we sweat more in summer?

In hot summer, the sweat glands expand more and give out more sweat. As we sweat more our skin remains cool and it does not get heated up.

4. Why do we hiccup and cough sometimes when we swallow food?

The epiglottis closes the windpipe when we swallow our food. When we eat in haste the epiglottis remains open and food particles go into the windpipe accidentally. To throw out the food the lungs push out air forcefully. As a result we hiccup and cough.
