Alimentary canal of man:
Alimentary canal is a muscular coiled, tubular structure. It consists of mouth, buccal cavity, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine (consisting of duodenum, jejunum and ileum), large intestine (consisting of caecum, colon and rectum) and anus.
Mouth: The mouth leads into the buccal cavity. The buccal cavity is a large space bound above by the palate (which separates the wind pipe and food tube), below by the throat and on the sides by the jaws. The jaws bear teeth.
Teeth: Teeth are hard structures meant for holding, cutting, grinding and crushing the food. In human beings two sets of teeth (Diphyodont) are developed in their life time.
Each tooth has a root fitted in the gum (Theocodont). Permanent teeth are of four types (Heterodont), according to their structure and function namely incisors, canines, premolars and molars.
Dental formula represents the number of different type of teeth present in each half of a jaw (upper and lower jaw).
For Permanent teeth in each half of upper and lower jaw:
\(\cfrac { 2,1,2,3 }{ 2,1,2,3 } =16\times 2=32\)
Salivary glands: Three pairs of salivary glands are present in the mouth cavity. They are: parotid glands, sublingual glands and submaxillary or submandibular glands
i. Parotid glands are the largest salivary glands, which lie in the cheeks
ii. Sublingual glands are the smallest glands and lie beneath the tongue.
iii. Submaxillary or Submandibular glands lie at the angles of the lower Jaw.
Tongue: The tongue is a muscular, sensory organ which helps in mixing the food with the saliva.
Pharynx: The pharynx is a membrane lined cavity behind the nose and mouth, connecting them to the oesophagus. It serves as a pathway for the movement of food from mouth to oesophagus.
Oesophagus: Oesophagus or the food pipe is a muscular-membranous canal about 22 cm length. It conducts food from pharynx to the stomach by peristalsis (wave-like movement) produced by the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the muscular walls of alimentary canal.
Stomach: The stomach is a wide J-shaped muscular organ located between oesophagus and the small intestine
Small intestine: The small intestine is the longest part of the alimentary canal, which is a long coiled tube measuring about 5 - 7 m. It comprises three parts duodenum, jejunum and ileum.
1. Duodenum is C-shaped and receives the bile duct (from liver) and pancreatic duct (from pancreas).
2. Jejunum is the middle part of the small intestine. It is a short region of the small intestine.
3. Ileum forms the lower part of the small intestine and opens into the large intestine. Ileum is the longest part of the small intestine. It contains minute finger like projections called villi (one millimeter in length) where absorption of food takes place. Internally, each villus contains fine blood capillaries and lacteal tubes. The small intestine serves both for digestion and absorption. It receives (i) the bile from liver and (ii) the pancreatic juice from pancreas in the duodenum.
Liver: It is the largest digestive gland of the body which is reddish brown in colour. Bile salts help in the digestion of fats by bringing about their emulsification (conversion of large fat droplets into small ones).
Pancreas: It is a lobed, leaf shaped gland situated between the stomach and duodenum. Pancreas acts both as an exocrine gland and as an endocrine gland.
Large intestine: The unabsorbed and undigested food is passed into the large intestine. It extends from the ileum to the anus. It is about 1.5 meters in length. It has three parts- caecum, colon and rectum .
The caecum is a small blind pouch like structure situated at the junction of the small and large intestine. From its blind end a finger - like structure called vermiform appendix arises. It is a vestigeal (functionless) organ in human beings
The colon is much broader than ileum. It passes up the abdomen on the right (ascending colon), crosses to the left just below the stomach (transverse colon) and down on the left side (descending colon).
The rectum is the last part which opens into the anus. It is kept closed by a ring of muscles called anal sphincter which opens when passing stools.
12.
Cardiac : Muscular
Granulocytes : Blood cells
Osteocytes : Bone cells
13.
Distilled water can not conduct electricity. Because it does not contain ions whereas rain water conducts electricity as it contains ions due to presence of dissolved salt in it.
14.
Features of modern periodic table:
(i) All the elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic number.
(ii) The horizontal rows are called periods. There are seven periods in the periodic table.
(iii) The elements are placed in periods based on the number of shells in their atoms.
(iv) Vertical columns in the periodic table starting from top to bottom are called groups. There are 18 groups in the periodic table.
(v) Based on the physical and chemical properties of elements, they are grouped into various families.
15.
Depending upon the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils, we can step-up or step-down the voltage in the secondary coil.

Step up transformer: The transformer used to change a low alternative voltage to a high alternating voltage is called a step up transformer. ie (Vs>Vp ). In a step up transformer, the number of turns in the secondary coil is more than the number of turns in the primary coil (Ns > Np).
Step down transformer: The transformer used to change a high alternating voltage to a low alternating voltage is called a step down transformer (Vs < Vp). In a step down transformer, the number of turns in the secondary coils are less than the number of turns in the primary coil (Ns N

The process of changing of a substance from one physical state to another at a definite temperature is defined as change of state.

For example, water molecules are in liquid state at normal temperature. When water is heated to 100oC, it becomes steam which is a gaseous state of matter. On reducing the temperature of the steam it becomes water again. If we reduce the temperature further to 0oC, it becomes ice which is a solid state of water. Ice on heating, becomes water again. Thus, water changes its state when there is a change in temperature. There are different such processes in the change of state in matter. The figure shows various processes of change state.

Mass (m) = 2 kg
Specific heat capacity (c) = 4200 Jkg-1 K-1
Temperature variation (\(\triangle \)t) = 20oC -0oC = 20oC
Specific latent heat (L) = 3,34,000 J/kg
Heat energy required = mc\(\triangle \)t + ml
= (2 x 4200 x 20) + (2 x 3, 34,000)
= 168000 + 668000
= 836000 J
26.
a) C in CO2
Let C be x and we know O = -2
So,
(x) + 2 x (-2) = 0
x + (-4) = 0
x = +4
So oxidation number of carbon is +4.
b) Mn in MnSO4
Let on Mn be x and we know S is +6, O is -2
So,
(x) + (1 x +6) + (4 x -2) = 0
x + 6 + (-8) = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = +2
Oxidation number of Mn is +2.
c) N in HNO3
Let N be x and we know H is +1 and 0 is -2
So,
(+1) + (x) + 3 x (-2) = 0
+1 + (x) - 6 = 0
x - 5 = 0
x = +5
Oxidation number of N is +5.
