V Case study questions
Answer the following questions
1.Our muscle cells can also respireanaerobically, but only for a short time,when there is a temporary deficiency
ofoxygen. During heavy exercise, fastrunning, cycling, walking for many hours or heavy weight lifting,
theDemand for energy is high. But thesupply of oxygen to produce the energy is limited. Then anaerobic
respirationtakes places in the muscle cells to fulfil
The demand of energy:
Glucose ____ (in muscle) in the absence of oxygen______>lactic acid + energy
The cramps occur when muscle cells respire anaerobically. The partial breakdown of glucose produces lactic
acid. The accumulation of lactic acid causes muscle cramps. We get relief from cramps after ahot water bath or a
massage. Hot water bath or massage improves circulation of blood.As a result, the supply of oxygen to themuscle
cells increases. The increase inthe supply of oxygen results in thecomplete breakdown of lactic acid intocarbon
dioxide and water.
A) Which substance causes muscle cramps during strenuous workout or any other hardcore training?
B) How to get relief from cramps?
C) When is the demand of energy is high in human body?
D) How is lactic acid broken down?
2. The food passes through a continuous canal which begins at the buccal cavity and ends at the anus. The canal
can be divided into various compartments: (1) the buccal cavity, (2) food pipe or oesophagus, (3) stomach, (4)
small intestine, (5) large intestine ending in the rectum and (6) the anus. Is it not a very long path. These parts
together form the alimentary canal (digestive tract). The food components gradually get digested as food travels
through the various compartments. The inner walls of the stomach and the small intestine, and the various glands
associated with the canal such as salivary glands, the liver and the pancreas secrete digestive juices. The
digestive juices convert complex substances of food into simpler ones. The digestive tract and the associated
glands together constitute the digestive system.

1. The canal can be divided into how many compartments?

2. Name the glands which are associated with the canal?
3. The largest gland in the digestive system and what juice it produces?

Some things feel hot when touched while others feel cold. So, our sense of touch tells us whether
a thing is hot or cold. But does it always give us accurate results? A reliable measure of the hotness
of an object is its temperature. Temperature is measured by a device called a thermometer. The
thermometer used to measure human body temperature is known as clinical thermometer. A
clinical thermometer is made up of a long and narrow glass tube. It has a special feature called a
kink just above the mercury bulb. This kink prevents immediate backflow of the mercury from the
tube to the bulb, thus allowing us to read the temperature conveniently. The normal body
temperature of a healthy person is 370C or 98.60 F.
1. Define temperature.
2. Compare and contrast clinical and laboratory thermometer using Venn diagram.
3. What if kink is not present in a clinical thermometer?
