The chapter “Body Fluids and Circulation” in UP Board Class 11 Biology explains the transport system in animals, particularly humans, which distributes nutrients, gases, and waste products to maintain homeostasis. It focuses on composition and functions of blood, lymph, and tissue fluid, highlighting the role of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin.
Students learn about the human circulatory system, including the structure of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and the double circulation system in humans. The chapter also covers cardiac cycle, heartbeat regulation, and blood pressure, along with disorders like hypertension, atherosclerosis, and anemia.
Understanding body fluids and circulation is essential for studying human physiology, transport mechanisms, and health sciences. This chapter provides a foundation for advanced studies in medicine and biology and is crucial for competitive exams like NEET, AIIMS, and CUET.
