animals the excretory system collects wastes from each cell individually. |
In these organisms most of the body is occupied by digestive and excretory |
systems. |
In animals belonging to Nemathelminthes (round worms), the |
pseudocoelom has taken up the function of collection and distribution of |
materials. |

The Annelids, the first Eucoelomate animals have developed a pulsatile |
vessel, to move the fluid and the transporting medium is blood. |
The Arthropods have developed a pulsatile organ to pump the blood, |

to the tissues directly by the respiratory system. |
Such type of transportation system which supplies nutrients to the |
tissues directly is called open type of circulatory system.eg. Arthropods, |
many molluscs and lower chordates. |
The other type of transportation system where the blood takes the |

Octopus) and all the higher chordates. |

The human circulatory system can move one ml of blood from heart to a foot and |
back which is approximately 2 meters, in about 60 seconds. |
It would take more than 60 years for the substance to move across this distance |

Blood pressure (B.P.) |
In class 9th we studied about blood and it’s components, blood grouping, |
etc., in the chapter animal tissues. Now we will discuss some other points |
related to blood. |

Generally you have heard the word B.P. What is B.P.? To move the |
blood through this network of vessels, a great deal of force is required. |

The force is provided by the heart and is at its highest when the ventricles |
contract, forcing the blood out of the heart and into the |
arteries. Then there is a drop in the pressure as the ventricles |
refill with blood for the next beat. |
B.P. is always measured in the upper arm artery. B.P. |

varies throughout the body, so a standard place must be |
used so that a person’s blood pressure can be compared |
over a period of time. Doctors measure the blood pressure |
(B.P.) with a device called sphygmomanometer. |
There are two pressure readings. One measures the |
strongest pressure during the time blood is forced out of |
fig-13: Sphygmomanometer the ventricles. This is called systolic pressure. For a healthy |

the resting period, as the ventricles refill with blood. This is called diastolic |
pressure. It will be 80 mm of Hg. |

Coagulation of blood |
Another important part in the story of blood is coagulation. Only |
