Foresters find it economically worthwhile to enclose new plantations with wire netting to |
prevent rabbits from entering. |
Foresters also encourage predators such as foxes, badgers, hawks and owls as they help |
to keep down the population of voles and rabbits. Grey squirrels too do great damage, |

it is impossible to grow these trees as a crop. Observe barks of trees in your surroundings |
for evidence of bark having been gnawed off saplings and trees. Note the species of tree, |
the position of the damage, whether the damage is recent or old, and the size of tooth marks |
if these are visible. From these observations you could find out which species had caused |
the damage. Also look out for the effect of such damage on the tree as a whole. |

The pulse rate is equal to heart beat. We can count the heart beat without the aid of any instrument. |
Rene Laennec discovered the first stethoscope. |
The heart is covered with two pericardial membranes filled with pericardial fluid which protects it |
from shocks. |

Rigid blood vessels attached to the heart are called arteries. The two rigid blood vessels are |
arteries which supplies blood to body parts and lungs. |
The less rigid vessels are veins, which brings blood from body parts. |
Heart has four chambers, two upper atria and two lower ventricles. |
Atrium and ventricle of the same side are connected by atrio ventricular aperture. |
Atria are separated from each other by interatrial septum, ventricles by interventricular septum. |

The atrioventricular apertures are guarded by valves. There are valves in the aorta and pulmonary |

The arteries carry oxygenated blood except pulmonary artery. The veins carry deoxygenated blood |
except pulmonary veins. |
One contraction and relaxation of heart is called cardiac cycle. |
If the blood goes to heart only once before it reaches all the body parts. It is called single circulation. |
If it goes twice it is called double circulation. |

Vitamin K deficiency leads to delayed coagulation of blood. |
Plants absorb soil water through roots by the process of osmosis. |
Water travels through xylem vessels and food material travels through phloem tissues. |
There is a relation between tranportation and transpiration in plants. |
Biologists studied about phloem tubes with the help of aphids. |
