Preface
The primary aim of any laboratory/Practical/field work is enhancement of required skills as
well as creative ability amongst students to solve real time problems by developing relevant
competencies in psychomotor domain. Keeping in view, GTU has designed competency focused
outcome-based curriculum -2021 (COGC-2021) for Diploma engineering programmes. In this more
time is allotted to practical work than theory. It shows importance of enhancement of skills amongst
students and it pays attention to utilize every second of time allotted for practical amongst Students,
Instructors and Lecturers to achieve relevant outcomes by performing rather than writing practice in
study type. It is essential for effective implementation of competency focused outcome- based Green
curriculum-2021. Every practical has been keenly designed to serve as a tool to develop & enhance
relevant industry needed competency in each and every student. These psychomotor skills are very
difficult to develop through traditional chalk and board content delivery method in the classroom.
Accordingly, this lab manual has been designed to focus on the industry defined relevant outcomes,
rather than old practice of conducting practical to prove concept and theory.
By using this lab manual, students can read procedure one day in advance to actual
performance day of practical experiment which generates interest and also, they can have idea of
judgement of magnitude prior to performance. This in turn enhances predetermined outcomes
amongst students. Each and every Experiment /Practical in this manual begins by competency,
industry relevant skills, course outcomes as well as practical outcomes which serve as a key role for
doing the practical. The students will also have a clear idea of safety and necessary precautions to be
taken while performing experiment.
This manual also provides guidelines to lecturers to facilitate student-centered lab activities
for each practical/experiment by arranging and managing necessary resources in order that the
students follow the procedures with required safety and necessary precautions to achieve outcomes.
It also gives an idea that how students will be assessed by providing Rubrics.
Although we try our level best to design this lab manual, but always there are chances of
improvement. We welcome any suggestions for improvement.

Digestive System
Digestion is defined as the process by which food is broken down into simple
chemical substances that can be absorbed and used as nutrients by the body.
These substances must be broken into smaller particles, so that they can be
absorbed into blood and distributed to various parts of the body for utilization.
A normal young healthy adult consumes about 1 kg of solid diet and about 1 to 2
litre of liquid diet every day.
All these food materials are subjected to digestive process, before being
absorbed into blood and distributed to the tissues of the body.
Digestive system plays the major role in the digestion and absorption of food
substances.
Functions of digestive system include:
1. Ingestion or consumption of food substances
2. Breaking them into small particles
3. Transport of small particles to different areas of the digestive tract

1. Deduce the pathways of food in the GI tract (mouth to the anus) using
digestive models. √
18 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
G. Prerequisite Theory:
Mouth: The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract. In fact, digestion starts here as
soon as you take the first bite of a meal. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that are
more easily digested, while saliva mixes with food to begin the process of breaking it down
into a form your body can absorb and use.
Throat: Also called the pharynx, the throat is the next destination for food you've eaten.
From here, food travels to the oesophagus or swallowing tube.
Oesophagus: The oesophagus is a muscular tube extending from the pharynx to the
stomach. By means of a series of contractions, called peristalsis, the oesophagus delivers
food to the stomach.
19 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
Stomach: The stomach is a sac-like organ with strong muscular walls. In addition to
holding the food, it's also a mixer and grinder. The stomach secretes acid and powerful
enzymes that continue the process of breaking down the food.
Small Intestine: Made up of three segments, the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, the
small intestine is a long tube loosely coiled in the abdomen (spread out, it would be more
than 20 feet long). The small intestine continues the process of breaking down food by
using enzymes released by the pancreas and bile from the liver. Bile is a compound that
aids in the digestion of fat and eliminates waste products from the blood. Peristalsis
(contractions) is also at work in this organ, moving food through and mixing it up with
digestive secretions.
Pancreas: Among other functions, the oblong pancreas secretes enzymes into the small
intestine. These enzymes break down protein, fat, and carbohydrates from the food we
eat.
Liver: The liver has many functions, but two of its main functions within the digestive
system are to make and secrete bile, and to cleanse and purify the blood coming from the
small intestine containing the nutrients just absorbed.
Gallbladder: The gallbladder is a pear-shaped reservoir that sits just under the liver and
stores bile. Bile is made in the liver then travels to the gallbladder through a channel called
the cystic duct. During a meal, the gallbladder contracts, sending bile to the small
intestine.
Large Intestine or Colon: Once the nutrients have been absorbed and the leftover liquid
has passed through the small intestine, what is left of the food you ate is handed over to
the large intestine, or colon. Stool, or waste left over from the digestive process, is passed
through the colon by means of peristalsis (contractions), first in a liquid state and
ultimately in solid form as the water is removed from the stool.
Rectum: The rectum (Latin for "straight") is an 8-inch chamber that connects the colon to
the anus. It is the rectum's job to receive stool from the colon
Anus: The anus is the last part of the digestive tract. It consists of the pelvic floor muscles
and the two anal sphincters (internal and external muscles). The lining of the upper anus is
specialized to detect rectal contents.

Human Biology-II (4320301)
Excretory system
Excretion is the process by which the unwanted substances and metabolic wastes
are eliminated from the body.
A large amount of waste materials and carbon dioxide are produced in the tissues
during metabolic process. In addition, residue of undigested food, heavy metals,
drugs, toxic substances and pathogenic organisms like bacteria are also present in
the body.
All these substances must be removed to keep the body in healthy condition.
Various systems/organs in the body are involved in performing the excretory
function, viz.
1. Digestive system excretes food residues in the form of feces. Some bacteria and
toxic substances also are excreted through feces.
2. Lungs remove carbon dioxide and water vapour.
3. Skin excretes water, salts and some wastes. It also removes heat from the body.
4. Liver excretes many substances like bile pigments, heavy metals, drugs, toxins,
bacteria, etc. through bile.
Although various organs are involved in removal of wastes from the body, their
excretory capacity is limited. But renal system or urinary system has maximum
excretory capacity and so it plays a major role in homeostasis.
Renal system includes:
1. A pair of kidneys
2. Ureters
3. Urinary bladder
4. Urethra.
25 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
Kidneys are the pair of bean-shaped organs situated on either side of the spine,
their main objective is to clean toxins from the blood and convert the waste into
urine.
Ureters are the tubes formed by smooth muscles, which push urine to the urinary
bladder from the kidneys.
A tube, which permits urine to pass out of the body is the urethra.

Human Biology-II (4320301)
Central and peripheral nervous systems are the two components of the nervous
system. The central nervous system comprises the brain and spinal cord. The
peripheral nervous system comprises the somatic nervous system and the
autonomic nervous system.
The main difference between central and peripheral nervous system is that the
central nervous system receives sensory information and the processed
information is sent into effecter organs as the response whereas the peripheral
nervous system is involved in sending information to the central nervous system
and sending responses from the central nervous system into the effecter organs.

lobes: frontal, occipital, parietal, and temporal. The frontal lobes are responsible
for the voluntary movements of the body. The occipital lobes receive visual
impulses from the eye. The parietal lobes receive sensory information such as
temperature, touch, taste, and pain. The temporal lobes are responsible for the
memory and hearing. The brain initiates the voluntary movements of the body.
Spinal Cord
The spinal cord is protected by the vertebral column, which starts at the base of
the brain. The main function of the spinal cord is to communicate with the brain
and peripheral nerves. The spinal cord is composed of eight cervical segments,
twelve thoracic segments, five lumbar segments, five sacral segment, and one
coccygeal segment in humans.

nerve fibers are eye, nose, tongue, ear, and skin. The efferent nerve fibers carry
instructions from the CNS to the effector organs. The reflexes have no integration
with the CNS for the response. The monosynaptic reflexes contain a single synapse
between sensory and motor neuron and polysynaptic reflexes contain as least a
single interneuron between the sensory and motor neurons.

The human brain controls nearly every aspect of the human body ranging from
physiological functions to cognitive abilities. It functions by receiving and sending
signals via neurons to different parts of the body.
The brain is composed of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem (Fig. 1).
Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left
hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and
hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of
movement.
Brainstem: acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the
spinal cord. It performs many automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate,

Parts of a neuron (Nerve cell)
48 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
Neurons vary in size, shape, and structure depending on their role and location.
However, nearly all neurons have three essential parts: a cell body, an axon, and
dendrites.
Cell body
Also known as a soma, the cell body is the core section of the neuron. The cell
body contains genetic information, maintains the neuron’s structure, and
provides energy to drive activities.
Like other cell bodies, a neuron’s soma contains a nucleus and specialized
organelles. It’s enclosed by a membrane that both protects it and allows it to
interact with its immediate surroundings.
Axon
An axon is a long, tail-like structure. It joins the cell body at a specialized junction
called the axon hillock. Many axons are insulated with a fatty substance called
myelin. Myelin helps axons to conduct an electrical signal.
Dendrites
Dendrites are fibrous roots that branch out from the cell body. Like antennae,
dendrites receive and process signals from the axons of other neurons. Neurons
can have more than one set of dendrites, known as dendritic trees.
49 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
How many they have generally depends on their role. For instance, Purkinje cells
are a special type of neuron found in a part of the brain called the cerebellum.
These cells have highly developed dendritic trees which allow them to receive
thousands of signals.
In terms of function, scientists classify neurons into three broad types: sensory,
motor, and interneurons.
Sensory neurons
Taste
Smell
See
Feel
Sensory neurons are triggered by physical and chemical inputs from your
environment. Sound, touch, heat, and light are physical inputs. Smell and taste
are chemical inputs.
For example, stepping on hot sand activates sensory neurons in the soles of your
feet. Those neurons send a message to your brain, which makes you aware of the
heat.
Motor neurons
There are two types of motor neurons: lower and upper. Lower motor neurons
carry signals from the spinal cord to the smooth muscles and skeletal muscles.
Upper motor neurons carry signals between your brain and spinal cord.
When you eat, for instance, lower motor neurons in your spinal cord send signals
to the smooth muscles in your esophagus, stomach, and intestines. These muscles
contract, which allows food to move through your digestive tract.
Interneurons
50 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
Interneurons are neural intermediaries found in your brain and spinal cord.
They’re the most common type of neuron. They pass signals from sensory
neurons and other interneuron to motor neurons and other interneuron. Often,
they form complex circuits that help you to react to external stimuli.
For instance, when you touch something sharp like a cactus, sensory neurons in
your fingertips send a signal to interneurons in your spinal cord. Some
interneurons pass the signal on to motor neurons in your hand, which allows you
to move your hand away. Other interneuron sends a signal to the pain center in
your brain, and you experience pain.

neurons of the brain. In clinical contexts, EEG refers to the recording of the brain's
spontaneous electrical activity over a short period of time, usually 20–40 minutes,
as recorded from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp.
SOURCE OF EEG ACTIVITY: The brain's electrical charge is maintained by billions of
neurons. Neurons are electrically charged (or "polarized") by membrane transport
proteins that pump ions across their membranes. Neurons are constantly
exchanging ions with the extracellular milieu, for example to maintain resting
potential and to propagate action potentials. When the wave of ions reaches the
electrodes on the scalp, they can push or pull electrons on the metal on the
electrodes. Since metal conducts the push and pull of electrons easily, the
difference in push or pull voltages between any two electrodes can be measured
by a voltmeter. Recording these voltages over time gives us the EEG.
NORMAL ACTIVITY: The EEG is typically described in terms of (1) rhythmic activity
and (2) transients. The rhythmic activity is divided into bands by frequency. To
some degree, these frequency bands are a matter of nomenclature (i.e., any
rhythmic activity between 6–12 Hz can be described as "alpha"), but these
designations arose because rhythmic activity within a certain frequency range was
noted to have a certain distribution over the scalp or a certain biological
significance.

G. Prerequisite Theory:
Introduction:
The endocrine system is an information signal system much like the
nervous system. However, the nervous system uses nerves to conduct information,
whereas the endocrine system uses blood vessels as information channels. Glands
located in many regions of the body release into the bloodstream specific chemical
messengers called hormones, which regulate the many and varied functions of an
organism.
62 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
The typical endocrine organ is a ductless gland that secretes chemical mediators
directly into local blood vessels which circulate within the body via the
bloodstream. These hormones travel to distant organs to regulate the target
organ's function.
Hormones are also instrumental in regulating mood, growth and development,
tissue function, and metabolism, as well as sending messages and acting on them.
A number of glands which signal each other in sequence is usually referred to as an
axis, for example the Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Typical endocrine glands
are the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands. Features of endocrine glands are
typically their ductless nature, their vascularity and usually the presence of
intracellular vacuoles or granules storing their hormones. In contrast exocrine
glands such as salivary glands, sweat glands and glands within the gastrointestinal
tract tend to be much less vascular and have ducts or a hollow lumen.
Pituitary gland & hypothalamus:
The pituitary gland the hypothalamus act as a unit, regulating the
activity of most of the other endocrine glands. The pituitary gland lies in the
hypophyseal fossa of the sphenoid bone below the hypothalamus, to which it is
attached by a stalk.
It is the size of a pea, weighs about 500mg and consists of three distinct parts that
originate from different types of cells. The anterior pituitary is an up growth of
glandular epithelium from pharynx and the posterior pituitary is a down growth of
nervous tissue from the brain.
The master gland, i.e., the gland that regulates many of the other endocrine
glands, is the pituitary, located at the base of the brain.
Anterior pituitary gland:
It also regulates many other endocrine glands; hence it is called the ‘master
gland’. The hormones secreted by anterior pituitary either stimulate or inhibit
secretion of the other endocrine glands or they could have a direct effect on the
target organs.
hormones:
a. Growth hormone
b. Thyroid stimulating hormone
c. Adrenocorticotropic hormone
63 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
e. Lutinizing hormone
f. Interstitial cell stimulating hormone
g. Prolactin
h. Posterior pituitary
i. Antidiuretic hormone
j. Oxytocin
Hypothalamus:
Physiological processes are under nervous system as well as endocrine control and
a gland adjacent to the pituitary, called the hypothalamus, mediates between the
two systems. The hypothalamus secretes pituitary-regulating substances in
response to nervous system stimuli including smell, taste, pain, and emotions.
Thus, stress, cold, heat, and other stimuli release CRF, or adrenocorticotropic
hormone-releasing factor, from the hypothalamus, causing ACTH to be produced
by the pituitary, which in turn stimulates the production of the adrenal hormone
cortisol.
Similar chemical regulatory mechanisms operate in the regulation of the sex and
thyroid hormones. Hypothalamic activity is also regulated by other body
substances, e.g., cortisol inhibits the production of hypothalamic CRF.
Hormones of the hypothalamus:

Thyroid gland:
The thyroid, located below the larynx and partially surrounding the trachea,
produces thyroxine, which controls the metabolic rate of most body cells, and
calcitonin, which is responsible for maintaining proper calcium serum levels in the
body.
The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ and composed of two lobes or wings
connected in the middle by the isthmus. The organ is situated on the anterior side
of the neck,lying in front and around the larynx. It is larger in females than in
males. The function of the thyroid gland is increased during pregnancy and
lactation and decreased during menopause.
Adrenal glands:
65 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
The adrenal gland is another endocrine gland regulated by the pituitary. The
adrenal cortex, the outer part of each of the two adrenal glands, produces
aldosterone, cortisol, and other steroids. These substances regulate salt
concentration in body fluids and glucose, fat, and protein metabolism. The inner
portion of the gland, the adrenal medulla, secretes epinephrine (adrenaline) and
norepinephrine, substances connected with the autonomic nervous system that
help the body to respond to danger or stress.
The adrenal glands also known as suprarenal glands. They are a pair of star-shaped
endocrine glands situated on the upper pole of each kidney. Each gland has two
distinct parts which differ in structure and function. The outer part is called the
cortex and the inner part is called the medulla.
adrenal cortex:
adrenal cortex forms 80% of the adrenal gland. It mediates the stress response
through the production of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, namely
aldosterone and cortisol respectively. It is also a secondary site of androgen
synthesis.
a. Glucocortocoids
b. Mineralocorticoids
c. Sex hormones
adrenal medulla:
66 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
The adrenal medulla is part of the adrenal gland. It is located at the centre of the
gland, being surrounded by the adrenal cortex. It forms 20% of the adrenal gland.
The adrenal medulla consists of irregularly shaped cells gronded around blood
vessels.
hormones of adrenal medulla:
a. Adrenaline
b. Nonadrenaline
Parathyroid glands:
The parathyroid glands are four small endocrine glands in the neck.
They are usually located behind the thyroid gland at the upper and lower poles
and, in rare cases, within the thyroid gland or in the chest. The glands are
surrounded by connective tissue capsule. The four parathyroid glands, located
behind the thyroid, secrete a hormone that regulates calcium and phosphate
metabolism.
The thymus gland is situated in the upper anterior portion of the chest
cavity behind the sternum, in front of the trachea. The main function of the
thymus is to provide an area for T lymphocyte maturation. The thymus also helps
protect against autommunity. The thymus gland has two functions: (1) lymphoid
function and (2) endocrine function.

Human Biology-II (4320301)
Pineal body:
The pineal body is small endocrine gland. It produces melatonin, a hormone that
affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns and photoperiodic functions. it is
shaped like a tiny pine cone and is located near the centre of the brain, between
the two hemispheres, in a groove where the two rounded thalamic bodies join.
The role of the pineal gland in human beings is not very clear especially the sexual
functions. It inhibits growth and development o sex organs before puberty. It also
controls different activities during different times of the day. the pineal gland
produces a substance called melatonin, which helps regulate the body's internal
clock.
hormone: melatonin
Pancreas:
The pancreas is a gland-organ in the digestive and endocrine system. It is situated
in the abdominal cavity. It is both an endocrine gland producing several important
hormones, including insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin, as well as an exocrine
gland, secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that pass to the
small intestine. These enzymes help in the further breakdown of the
carbohydrates, protein, and fat in the chyme.
hormones:
a. Insulin
b. Glucagon

G. Prerequisite Theory:
Introduction
The male reproductive system includes a group of organs that make up a man’s
reproductive and urinary system. These organs do the following jobs within your
body:
They produce, maintain and transport sperm (the male reproductive cells) and
semen (the protective fluid around sperm).
They discharge sperm into the female reproductive tract.
They produce and secrete male sex hormones.
The male reproductive system is made up of internal (inside your body) and
external (outside your body) parts. Together, these organs help you urinate (rid
your body of liquid waste materials), have sexual intercourse and make children.
74 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
The male reproductive system is mostly located outside of the body. These
external organs include the penis, scrotum and testicles. Internal organs include
the vas deferens, prostate and urethra. The male reproductive system is
responsible for sexual function, as well as urination.
Most of the male reproductive system is located outside of your abdominal cavity
or pelvis.
The external parts of the male reproductive system include the penis, the scrotum
and the testicles.
Penis
The penis is the male organ for sexual intercourse. It has three parts:
The root: This is the part of the penis that attaches to the wall of your abdomen.
The body or shaft: Shaped like a tube or cylinder, the body of the penis is made up
of three internal chambers. Inside these chambers there’s a special, sponge-like
erectile tissue that contains thousands of large spaces that fill with blood when
you’re sexually aroused. As the penis fills with blood, it becomes rigid and erect,
which allows for penetration during sex. The skin of the penis is loose and elastic,
allowing for changes in penis size during an erection.
The glans: This is the cone-shaped end of the penis. The glans, which is also called
the head of the penis, is covered with a loose layer of skin called foreskin. This skin
is sometimes removed in a procedure called circumcision. The opening of the
urethra — the tube that transports both semen and urine out of the body is
located at the tip of the glans penis. The penis also contains many sensitive nerve
endings. Semen, which contains sperm, is expelled (ejaculated)
Scrotum
The scrotum is the loose pouch-like sac of skin that hangs behind the penis. It
holds the testicles (also called testes), as well as many nerves and
blood vessels. The scrotum protects your testes, as well as providing a sort of
climate control system. For normal sperm development, the testes must be at a
temperature slightly cooler than the body temperature. Special muscles in the wall
of the scrotum allow it to contract (tighten) and relax, moving the testicles closer
to the body for warmth and protection or farther away from the body to cool the
temperature.
Testicles (testes)
The testes are oval organs about the size of very large olives that lie in the
scrotum, secured at either end by a structure called the spermatic cord. Most
75 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
men have two testes. The testes are responsible for making testosterone, the
primary male sex hormone, and for producing sperm. Within the testes are coiled
masses of tubes called seminiferous tubules. These tubules are responsible for
producing the sperm cells through a process called spermatogenesis.
Epididymis
The epididymis is a long, coiled tube that rests on the backside of each testicle. It
carries and stores sperm cells that are created in the testes. It’s also the job of the
epididymis to bring the sperm to maturity — the sperm that emerge from the
testes are immature and incapable of fertilization.
During sexual arousal, contractions force the sperm into the vas deferens.
What are the internal male reproductive organs?
You have several internal organs — also called accessory organs — that play a big
part in the male reproductive system. These organs include:
Vas deferens: The vas deferens is a long, muscular tube that travels from the
epididymis into the pelvic cavity, to just behind the bladder. The vas deferens
transports mature sperm to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation.
Ejaculatory ducts: These ducts are formed by the fusion of the vas deferens and
the seminal vesicles. The ejaculatory ducts empty into the urethra.
Urethra: The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside of
your body. In males, it has the additional function of expelling (ejaculating) semen
when you reach orgasm. When the penis is erect during sex, the flow of urine is
blocked from the urethra, allowing only semen to be ejaculated at orgasm.
Seminal vesicles: The seminal vesicles are sac-like pouches that attach to the vas
deferens near the base of the bladder. The seminal vesicles make a sugar-rich fluid
(fructose) that provides sperm with a source of energy and helps with the sperms’
ability to move (motility). The fluid of the seminal vesicles makes up most of the
volume of your ejaculatory fluid, or ejaculate.
Prostate gland: The prostate gland is a walnut-sized structure that’s located below
the urinary bladder in front of the rectum. The prostate gland contributes
additional fluid to the ejaculate. Prostate fluids also help to nourish the sperm. The
urethra, which carries the ejaculate to be expelled during orgasm, runs through
the center of the prostate gland.
Bulbourethral glands: The bulbourethral glands, or Cowper’s glands, are pea-sized
structures located on the sides of the urethra, just below the prostate gland.
These glands produce a clear, slippery fluid that empties directly into the urethra.
76 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
This fluid serves to lubricate the urethra and to neutralize any acidity that may be
present due to residual drops of urine in the urethra.

G. Prerequisite Theory:
Introduction
The main external structures of the female reproductive system include:
Labia majora: The labia majora (“large lips”) enclose and protect the other
external reproductive organs. During puberty, hair growth occurs on the skin of
the labia majora, which also contain sweat and oil-secreting glands.
Labia minora: The labia minora (“small lips”) can have a variety of sizes and
shapes. They lie just inside the labia majora, and surround the openings to the
vagina (the canal that joins the lower part of the uterus to the outside of the body)
and urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the
body). This skin is very delicate and can become easily irritated and swollen.
Bartholin’s glands: These glands are located next to the vaginal opening on each
side and produce a fluid (mucus) secretion.
Clitoris: The two labia minora meet at the clitoris, a small, sensitive protrusion
that is comparable to the penis in males. The clitoris is covered by a fold of skin,
80 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
called the prepuce, which is similar to the foreskin at the end of the penis. Like the
penis, the clitoris is very sensitive to stimulation and can become erect.
Ovaries: The ovaries are small, oval-shaped glands that are located on either side
of the uterus. The ovaries produce eggs and hormones.
81 | Page
Human Biology-II (4320301)
Fallopian tubes: These are narrow tubes that are attached to the upper part of the
uterus and serve as pathways for the ova (egg cells) to travel from the ovaries to
the uterus. Fertilization of an egg by a sperm normally occurs in the fallopian
tubes. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where it implants to the
uterine lining.

In some cases, first aid consists of the initial support provided to someone in the
middle of a medical emergency. This support might help them survive until
professional help arrives.
In other cases, first aid consists of the care provided to someone with a minor
injury. For example, first aid is often all that’s needed to treat minor burns, cuts,
and insect stings.
A standard first aid kit should include:
• adhesive bandages of assorted sizes
• roller bandages of assorted sizes

PO 7 Life-long learning
Describe the anatomical structure & principle function of major body systems such
as Digestive, Excretory, Endocrine, Nervous, Reproductive etc. and creating health
awareness among the society.
G. Prerequisite Theory:
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that
applies to adult men and women.
Body mass index (BMI) is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of
height in meters. BMI is an inexpensive and easy screening method for weight
category—underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obesity.
BMI does not measure body fat directly, but BMI is moderately correlated with
more direct measures of body fat. Furthermore, BMI appears to be as strongly
correlated with various metabolic and disease outcome as are these more direct
measures of body fatness.
Some Health consequences of obesity:
High blood pressure (hypertension)
High LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or high levels of triglycerides
(dyslipidemia)
Type 2 diabetes
Coronary heart disease
Stroke
Sleep apnea and breathing problems
BMI CALCULATION
Enter your weight and height using standard or metric measures.
Measurement Units for weight - Kilograms
Measurement Units for Height- meters (or centimeters)
Formula for BMI
• Weight (kg) / [height (m)]2
With the metric system, the formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by
height in meters squared. Because height is commonly measured in centimetres,
divide height in centimetres by 100 to obtain height in meters.

G. Prerequisite Theory:
Physical fitness as one’s ability to execute daily activities with optimal
performance, endurance, and strength with the management of disease, fatigue,
and stress and reduced sedentary behaviour. A person fulfils each of the
components of being healthy such as it comes as cardiorespiratory fitness,
muscular strength, muscular endurance, body composition, flexibility.
Regular exercise is important for overall health and fitness. A combination of
resistance and cardiovascular training is a powerful tool to help prevent many
health conditions. Exercise categories such as:
Endurance, or aerobic, activities
Strength, or resistance training, exercises
Balance exercises
Flexibility exercises
Endurance exercises
Endurance activities, often referred to as aerobic, increase your breathing and
heart rates. These activities help keep you healthy, improve your fitness, and help
you perform the tasks you need to do every day. Endurance exercises improve the
health of your heart, lungs, and circulatory system. They also can delay or prevent
many diseases that are common in older adults such as diabetes, colon and breast
cancers, heart disease, and others.
Strength exercises
Your muscular strength can make a big difference. Strong muscles help you stay
independent and make everyday activities feel easier, like getting up from a chair,
climbing stairs, and carrying groceries. Keeping your muscles strong can help with
your balance and prevent falls and fall-related injuries. You are less likely to fall
when your leg and hip muscles are strong. Some people call using weight to
improve your muscle strength “strength training” or “resistance training.”
Some people choose to use weights to help improve their strength. If you do, start
by using light weights at first, then gradually add more. Other people use
resistance bands, stretchy elastic bands that come in varying strengths. If you are a
beginner, try exercising without the band or use a light band until you are
comfortable. Add a band or move on to a stronger band (or more weight) when
you can do two sets of 10 to 15 repetitions easily. Try to do strength exercises for
all of your major muscle groups at least 2 days per week, but don’t exercise the
same muscle group on any 2 days in a row. Below are a few examples of strength
exercises:
Lifting weights
Carrying groceries
Gripping a tennis ball
Overhead arm curl
Arm curls
Wall push-ups
Lifting your body weight
Human Biology-II (4320301)
Flexibility exercises
Stretching can improve your flexibility. Moving more freely will make it easier for
you to reach down to tie your shoes or look over your shoulder when you back
your car out of the driveway. Flexibility exercises include:
The back stretch exercise
The inner thigh stretch
