                        Question 1.
                        \nWhat will happen if the diaphragm shows no movement?
                        \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. The diaphragm is the primary organ of breathing.<\/li>\n
                        2. The movement of the diaphragm expands the lungs and creates a vacuum.<\/li>\n
                        3. Due to this the air is sucked in.<\/li>\n
                        4. If the diaphragm does not move the lungs do not expand or contract and breathing stops.<\/li>\n
                        5. The person will die.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          Question 2.
                          \nWhy is the heart divided into two halves by a thick muscular wall?
                          \nAnswer:
                          \nThe oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are separately circulated. So the heart is divided into two halves by a thick muscular wall.<\/p>\n

                          Question 3.
                          \nWhy do we sweat more in summer?
                          \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                            \n
                          1. Sweating plays an important health role as it helps to maintain constant body temperature by cooling us down.<\/li>\n
                          2. When it is hot and we sweat that moisture evaporates and cools us immediately.<\/li>\n
                          3. This is why we sweat more when the summer is very hot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                            Question 4.
                            \nWhy do we hiccup and cough sometimes when we swallow food?
                            \nAnswer:
                            \nNormally, the entry of food into the windpipe is prevented by a flap like structure called Epiglottis. But when we eat in a hurry, the flab gets lesser time to close the windpipe. Thus some of the food particles enter into the windpipe. It creates a hindrance in the movement of air in the windpipe and results in coughing or hiccup.<\/p>\n

                            Activity 1<\/p>\n

                            Question 1.
                            \nSit absolutely still. Observe the movements taking place in your body. You must K be blinking your eyes time to time. Observe the movements in your body as you I breathe. Write down the movements in your note book.<\/p>\n

                            We are able to move a few parts of our body easily in various directions and some, ft only in one direction. Why we are not able to move some parts at all directions?
                            \nAnswer:
                            \nWe are able to bend or rotate our body in places where two parts of our body seem to be joined together – like elbow, shoulder or neck. These places are called joints. If ft our body has no joints, it would not be possible for us to move in any way at all.<\/p>\n

                            Bones cannot be bent. But we can bend our elbow. It is not one long bone from ft the upper arm to our wrist. It is different bones joined together at the elbow. Similarly, there are many bones present in each part of the body.<\/p>\n

                            We can bend or move our body only at those points where bones meet. There are different types of joints in our body to help us carry out different movements and activities. Let us see the function \/ movements of some of the joints in our body.<\/p>\n

                            Fixed joints which do not allow movement are called fixed joint.<\/p>\n

                            Gliding joints allow only a limited amount of movement of sliding nature of cartilage. For example, the joints of back bone.<\/p>\n

                            Hinge joint allows movement only in one plane. For example, fingers, knees. Elbow joint is composed of hinge joint. These joints allow movement in one plane and up to 180\u00b0 only. Hence, we cannot move our elbows backwards.<\/p>\n

                            Piyotal joint allows movement in all planes, i.e. up and down, side and other planes. For example, head.<\/p>\n

                            Ball and socket joint allows movement in all directions. The rounded end of one bone fits into the cavity (hollow space) of other bone. Such a joint only allows movements in all directions. For example, joint between upper arm.<\/p>\n

                            Activity 2<\/p>\n

                            To show that we can bend or move our body only at those points where the bones meet.

                            \nMaterials required; A wooden scale and string.
                            \nMethod Ask your friend to tie a wooden scale and your arm together. So that the elbow is at the centre. Even if you try hard, you cannot bend your elbow.
                            \nConclusion: A single bone cannot bend. The different bones joined together at the elbow, help the elbow to bend.<\/p>\n

                            Activity 3<\/p>\n

                            Question 1.
                            \nMove your lower arm up and down gently. Feel the contraction and relaxation of your biceps and triceps muscles. The muscles present in the upper arm help in the contraction of front biceps muscles (become short and thick), and also relaxation of rear triceps muscles (become long and thin). You can feel the muscles on top that go stiff. When the arm is moved downwards, the front muscles relax and the rear muscles contract.

                            Observation: Lime water turns milky in few seconds in the second jar. The CO? gas alone can change the lime water into milky white.<\/p>\n

                            Conclusion: Carbon-di-oxidc is present in the air that we exhale.<\/p>\n

                            Activity 6<\/p>\n

                            Question 1.
                            \nPlace the middle and index fingers of your right hand on the inner side of your left wrist. Can you feel a throbbing movement. Why do you feel the throbbing? This throbbing is called the pulse and it is due to the blood flowing in the arteries. Count the number of pulse in one minute.<\/p>\n
