15, The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) targets the immune system and weakens people’s defence
systems against infections. As the virus destroys and impairs the function of immune cells, infected
individuals gradually become immunodeficient. Immunodeficiency results in increased susceptibility
to a wide range of infections, cancers and other diseases that people with healthy immune systems
can fight off.
The most advanced stage of HIV infection is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which
can take from 2 to 15 years to develop if not treated, depending on the individual. The symptoms
of HIV vary depending on the stage of infection. Though people living with HIV tend to be most
infectious in the first few months after being infected, many are unaware of their status until the
later stages. In the first few weeks after initial infection people may experience no symptoms or
an influenza-like illness including fever, headache, rash or sore throat. 4 INCERT, Page 123]

Hormones are secreted in extremely less quantities. Excess or deficiency of such hormones can have
harmful effects on our body. A feedback mechanism controls the timing and secretion of hormones
released by various glands.

Breathing cycle involves inhalation and exhalation of air due to alternate expansion and contraction
of thoracic cavity. Thus, it is a rhythmie process. But exchange of gases is a continuous process
as it takes place between blood and each and every cell by diffusion.
Function of guard cells: Control the opening and closing of stomata,
When water flows into the guard cells, they become turgid and become curved and cause the
opening of stomatal pore,
In fishes, the heart only has one atrium and one ventricle. The oxygen-depleted blood that
returns from the body enters the atrium and then the ventricle and is then pumped out to the
gills, where the blood is oxygenated,
Or
The human heart is divided into four chambers ~ the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left
atrium and the left ventricle.
Flow of blood in the heart:
(® The heart has superior and inferior vena cava, which carries deoxygenated blood from
the upper and lower regions of the body respectively and supplies this deoxygenated
blood to the right atrium of the heart.
(i) The right atrium then contracts and passes the deoxygenated blood to the right ventricle,
through an auriculo-ventricular aperture.
(ii) Then the right ventricle contracts and passes the deoxygenated blood into the two
pulmonary arteries, which pumps it to the lungs where the blood becomes oxygenated.
From the lungs, the pulmonary veins transport the oxygenated blood to the left atrium.
of the heart.
(jv) Then the left atrium contracts and through the auriculo-ventricular aperture, the oxygenated
blood enters the left ventricle.
(v) The blood passes to aorta from the left ventricle. The aorta gives rise to many arteries
that distribute the oxygenated blood to all the regions of the body.
Therefore, the blood goes twice through the heart, This is known as double circulation.
Importance of double circulation: The separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood allows
more efficient supply of oxygen to the body cells. This efficient system of oxygen supply is very
useful in warm-blooded animals such as birds and mammals, that use energy to maintain their
body temperature all of the time.
