In a biology period, the teacher drew the heart of rabbit on the board and explained its structure and functions. After the class, your friend told you that he finds it difficult to understand the concept and felt he wanted a detailed explanation. In what way, the teaching can be made easily understandable?

Ramu was 15 vears old when he went to a doctor to check his blood pressure. His pressure was around 158/98mmHg. The doctor advised him to measure his blood pressure at home for two weeks. He came to the doctor saying his average blood pressure was around 160/100mmHg. Doctor concludes that Ramu has high blood pressure or hypertension. If not controlled, hypertension can lead to heart failure, stroke and kidney failure. He returned to the doctor after two months after taking the drug, ACH inhibitor. This chemical blocks the production of angiotensin II, a powerful vasoconstrictor, so his blood pressure returned back to normal. 1. Why are people with high blood pressure at greater risk for having a hemorrhagic stroke? 2. Without medication Ramu's blood pressure was around 160/100mmHg after two weeks. Why this pressure was referred to as hypertension by the doctor. 3. Blocking the action of vasoconstrictor lower the blood pressure? Give reasons. 4. What is the role of ACH inhibitor in reducing blood pressure? 5. What conditions one might expect if the blood pressure is not controlled?

One of your friends argues that he has read in previous chapters that there can be no electric field inside a conductor. And hence there can be no current through it.What is the fallacy in this argument?

Answer the following questions . a. The earth's magnetic field varies from point is space. Does it also change with time ? It so , on what time scate does it change appreciably ? b. The earth's core is known to contain iron. Yet geologists do not regard this as a source of the earth's magnetism why ? c. The charged currents in the outer conducting regions of the earth's core are thought to be responsible for earth's magnetism . What might be the ' battery ' (i.e., the source of energy) to sustain these currents ? d. The earth may have even reversed the direction of its field several times during its history of 4 to 5 billion years. How can geologists know about the earth's field in such distant past ? e. The earth's field departs from its dipole substantially at large distances (greater than about 30,000 km) what agencies may be responsible for this distortion ? f. Interstellar space has an extremely weak magnetic field of the order of 10^(-12) T, Can such a weak field be of any significant consequence ? Explain.
