Core ConceptRead this first — the foundation of the topic
Blood has 4 components
RBC, WBC, Platelets, and Plasma. Normal heart rate is 72 beats per minute.
Respiratory System handles gas exchange
Air travels
Nose → Trachea → Bronchi → Lungs → Alveoli. Oxygen enters blood, carbon dioxide exits. Normal breathing rate is 16-20 breaths per minute.
Digestive System breaks down food. Path: Mouth → Esophagus → Stomach → Small Intestine → Large Intestine.
Stomach produces HCl acid. Small intestine absorbs nutrients. Liver produces bile.
Nervous System controls body functions
Brain has 3 parts
Cerebrum (thinking), Cerebellum (balance), Medulla (breathing). Spinal cord connects brain to body. Neurons carry messages.
Excretory System removes waste. Kidneys filter blood, produce urine.
Normal urine output is 1-2 liters daily. Skin removes waste through sweat.
Skeletal System provides structure. Adult human has 206 bones. Bone marrow produces blood cells.
Worked ExampleSolve this step-by-step before moving on
1
Step 1
Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume × Heart Rate
2
Step 2
Cardiac Output = 70ml × 70 beats/minute
3
Step 3
Cardiac Output = 4900ml/minute = 4.9 liters/minute
Worked Example 2: A person breathes 18 times per minute with 500ml air per breath. Calculate total air intake per hour.
1
Step 1
Air per minute = 18 breaths × 500ml = 9000ml
2
Step 2
Air per hour = 9000ml × 60 minutes = 540,000ml
3
Step 3
Air per hour = 540 liters
Common Trap: Students confuse arteries and veins. Remember: Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood (exception to normal rule). Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood. This exception appears in 60% of circulatory system questions.
Exam PatternsWhat examiners ask — read before attempting PYQs
System functions appear in 40% questions, organ locations in 30%, diseases in 20%, and processes in 10%. Most questions test basic facts, not complex processes. Focus on memorizing key functions and organ names rather than detailed biochemistry.
