Respiration 

All living organisms require energy to carry out various life processes . 
The energy that is stored in the body in the form of complex organic compounds means (potential energy) is  however not usable  by the organisms unless it is converted into usable form .
This conversion is achieved through the process of respiration .

Respiration  

It is a bio-chemical process all oxidation off origanic  compounds in an orderly Manner for the liberation of chemical energy in the form of ATP .

C6 H12 O6  +  O2  ➡  6 CO2  +  6H2O +  38 ATP 

For this, the process gaseous exchange takes place the organism and  the environment .
The site of gaseous exchange is called the respiratory surface .

Organs of Respiratory Exchange

Respirator exchange is a simple physical process .
For efficient gaseous exchange , the respiratory surface should have the following features :- 

a.   It should have a large surface area .

b.   It  should  be  thin, highly vascular  and permeable to allow exchange of gases.

c.   It should be moist.

Gaseous exchange in plants
The shape and structure of plants facilitate gaseous exchange by diffusion . Terres-trial flowering plant has many air spaces between the cells of stem , leaf  and root .
This air spaces are continues .

Oxygen diffuses into the air space through stomata ( the pores on the leaves and young stems ) ,carbon dioxide and water vapor diffuse out .
In the aerated soil the oxygen dissolves in the film of moisture or water around the root tissue and enters it by diffusion . Woody flowering plant (trees and shrubs) have an external imprevious bark .
Here , gaseous exchange occurs through small pores in the stem surface , called lenticals .


Desperation in Animals
As compared to plant animals show wide variety of respiratory surfaces or organs .
The respiratory surfaces differ in various animals , depending upon the complexity of organization and the surrounding medium ,  certain parts of the body havebecome specialized into different types of respiratory organs .
In the higher animals, these respiratory organs are also associated with a transport system .

Co-ordination in Plants

      🌳    Co-ordination in Plants   🌳 Plants do not have systems like the nervous system or muscular system of animals .  Then , how do plants bring about movements ?  In plants , movements are mainly in the form of responses given to the stimuli . Movement or growth of any part of the plant in response to an external stimulus is called 'tropism' or 'tropic movements' . The shoot system of any plant responds to the light stimulus that is it grows towards the source of the light . The movements shown by plants towards the source of the light is called 'Phototropic Movement' . The root system of plants responds to stimuli like gravitation and water .  These responses are called 'gravitropic movements' and 'hydrotropic movement' resectively . Movement shown by plants in response to specific chemicals is called 'chemotropic movements' .  For example , the growth of the pollen tube towards the ovule . All the above - menti...

Acupressure Points

             ✊    Acupressure Points  👊 Our Body is full of a Complex System in that we have muscles , bones , blood and nerves , tissues . Our internal body parts are involuntary , and our external body parts are voluntary . We can't do exercise of our internal organs like brain , heart , liver , stomach , lungs , throats , hormonal glands and most of the internal organs . So we can do exercise by the connection of the nervous system by acupuncture the hands and legs and many other external parts . See this image for exercising internal organs  :-  By Acupuncturing all of the whole hand our internal exercise will be well done going on . Please do this for healthy health ....👍

Sonography

Sonography   What is Sonography ?  Sonography technology uses ultrasonic sound waves to generate images of internal organs of human body . This is useful in finding out the cause of swelling , infection , pain , etc . The condition of the heart , the state of the heart after a heart a heart attack as well as the growth of foetus inside the womb of a pregnant women are studied using this technique . This technique makes use of a probe and a gel . The gel is used to make proper contact between the skin and the probe so that the full capacity of the ultrasonic sound can be utilized . The gel is perfectly applied to the skin outside the internal organ to be studied . High frequency ultrasonic sound is transmitted inside the body with the help of the probe . The sound reflected from the internal organ is again collected by the probe and fed to a computer which generates the images of the internal organ . As , this method is painless , it is increasingly u...
