    Ans.2 a)

    Introduction : Hygiene is the science which seeks to preserve and

    improve the health of the individual and of the community as a whole. It seeks to
    develop in them the concepts of healthy living. Personal hygiene involves all
    aspects of the health of an individual. Responsibility for the maintenance of
    personal health, therefore lies with the individual.
    Personal Hygiene : Sleep means the periodical rest of both body and mind. The
    amount of sleep one requires varies with individuals and age. The average
    requirement of sleep is from 7 to 8 hours a day.
    Bathing : Keeping the skin clean and in healthy condition is essential for good
    health. A warm bath in winter and cool one is summer and use of soap are
    essential for body cleaning.
    Eating and Drinking : Properly cooked food with its full nutritive value is
    beneficial for health
    Care and Cleanliness of Skin, Hand, Hair and Teeth : Our skin keeps on
    secreting sweat and hence if is necessary to keep it clean through bathing and
    by removing dust and dirt. Hands and finger are to be kept clean and washed
    before taking meals and after a visit to the lavatory. Nails should be kept
    trimmed to keep them free from dirt. The hair should be kept clean by regular
    washing and combing. Care of teeth plays an important part in keeping fit.
    Food and Rest : Properly balanced diet is essential for physical well being food
    should be hygienically and properly cooked. It should be chewed well and taken

    in proper proportion. Sufficient rest, recreation and sleep are essential for
    mental and physical fitness.
    Exercise: Organised games and physical exercise are necessary for proper
    development of the body and mind.
    b)

    Water Borne Diseases : Certain diseases spread due to infection carried

    through water. These are cholera, dysentery, diarrhea, jaundice etc. These
    spread as water gets contaminated through vomits or faeces passing into it.
    Epidemics are likely to spread if immediate steps are not taken to disinfect water
    and to properly dispose off the excreta through efficient conservancy
    arrangements. All sources of the diseases ought to be segregated.
    c)

    Contact Diseases : The germs pass from the sick to the healthy by actual

    body contact. Venereal diseases i.e., syphilis, gonorrhea and skin infections are
    common examples. Complete segregation of patient can prevent the spreading of
    the diseases.
    d)

    Respiratory System : Two lungs Right and Left are the important organs

    of respiration. During breathing in, fresh air goes in to the lungs, the blood
    absorbs the oxygen from inhaled air and distributes if to all parts of the body.
    Oxygen is most essential for living. Carbon dioxide, a poisonous waste product is
    removed from the lungs during breathing out. Thus we see that the process of
    breathing in and breathing out are most important for the continuation of life
    process.
    Ans 3)

    Sources of water : Rain water, Surface water, Ground water.

    Different methods of purification of water are:Boiling & Distillation,


    Pinking : During cholera epidemic potassium permagnate should be used for
    pinking of wells
    Precipitation : By adding alum or some similar chemical to water which carries
    all impurities to the bottom with it and leaves pure water. Water is then passed
    through a filter.
    Sterilization : By using chlorine gas or bleaching
    Clarification : Removal of suspended matter through filtration by passing it
    through filter beds of gravel and send or through properly sterilized filters.

    Ans 4)

    First Aid is the treatment given to the patient in emergencies before

    the arrival of doctor.


    Snake Bite: In snake bite the poison is injected by the snake through a oair of
    hollow and deeply grooved biting fangs. Confirm by seeing the bite mark,
    otherwise it may not be a poisonous snake.
    First Aid Treatment : Gige convincing reassurance against fear of death. Make
    the victim lie down comfortably but not to sleep. Apply a light constricting
    tourniquet with handkerchief, bandage or shoe lace above the knee for abite on
    the leg and above the elbow for a bite on the arm, so that the poison does not
    flows to all part of the body. Wash with soap and water freely. Incise into the skin
    across the mark with a blade and suck the blood either with mouth or with a
    suction pump. Be careful that there is no cut or wound or ulcer in the mouth.
    Evacuate the patient quickly to the nearest dispensary or hospital. If breathing
    fails, start artificial respiration.
    Ans 5)

    Arteries : These are the Blood vessels which carry pure blood from

    heart. Aorta is the biggest artery from where the branches of other arteries take
    pure blood to each part/organ.
    Veins : These blood vessels which connect the small arteries and veins. The
    exchange of oxygen and nutrition with carbon oxide by the takes place in
    capillaries.
    Ans 6)

    Fracture : Fracture is a discontinuity or break in a bone, resulting

    in the dissolution of the supporting frame work of the body.


    The fracture can be caused due to the following :a)

    Through direct violence : the bone breaks on the spot where direct

    b)

    violence is applied by a kick, bullet, blow etc.


    Through indirect violence : The bone breaks at some distance place from
    the spot of violence. i.e., fracture of clavicle, base of skull etc, when the

    c)

    force is on out stretched hands or other extremities.


    Through forcible muscular contraction : Fracture of patella ( Knee cap)
    by contraction of thigh muscular. Fracture of ribs may be caused by

    d)
