(a)
Blood and lymph
Blood
Lymph
1.
Blood is a
red-coloured fluid that contains RBCs.
1.
Lymph is a colourless fluid that
lacks RBCs.
2.
It contains plasma, RBCs,
WBCs, and platelets. It also contains
proteins.
2.
It contains plasma and
lesser number of WBCs and platelets. It
lacks proteins.
3.
Blood transports nutrients
and oxygen from one organ to another.
3.
Lymph plays a role in the
defensive system of the body. It is a part of the immune system.
(b) Open
and closed systems of circulation
Open system of
circulation
Closed system of
circulation
1.
In this system, blood is
pumped by the heart, through large
vessels, into body cavities called sinuses.
1.
In this system, blood is
pumped by the heart, through a closed
network of vessels.
2.
The body tissues are in direct
contact with blood.
2.
The body tissues are not in direct
contact with blood.
3.
Blood flows at low pressure.
Hence, it is a slower and less efficient
system of circulation.
3.
Blood flows at high
pressure. Hence, it is a faster and more
efficient system of circulation.
4.
The flow
of blood is not regulated through the tissues and organs.
4.
The flow
of blood can be regulated by valves.
5.
This system is
present in arthropods and molluscs.
5.
This system is
present in annelids, echinoderms, and vertebrates.
(c) Systole
and diastole
Systole
Diastole
1.
It is the contraction of the
heart chambers to drive blood into the aorta and the pulmonary
artery.
1.
It is the relaxation of
the heart chambers between two contractions. During diastole, the
chambers are filled with blood.
2.
Systole decreases the volume
of the heart chambers and forces the
blood out of them.
2.
Diastole brings the heart
chambers back into their original sizes
to receive more blood.
(d) P-wave
and T-wave
P-wave
T-wave
1.
In an electrocardiogram
(ECG), the P-wave indicates the
activation of the SA node.
1.
In an electrocardiogram
(ECG), the T-wave represents ventricular
relaxation.
2.
During this phase, the
impulse of contraction is generated by the
SA node, causing atrial depolarisation.
2.
During this phase, the
ventricles relax and return to their normal state.
3.
It is of atrial origin.
3.
It is of ventricular origin.
