Excretion: 1 Mark
Components: 2 Marks
Functions: 2 Marks
During various activities which are performed within the cells in the body, certain by-products are produced.Some of these products are toxic and are required to be thrown out. This is the reason why excretion is required.
The various components of the excretory system of humans include a pair of kidney, ureter, urinary bladder and the urethra.
Kidneys are the structures where the purification of blood occurs. From the kidneys, the urine goes into the urinary bladder through tube-like structures called ureters.It isstored in the urinary bladder and is passed out through the urinary opening at the end of a muscular tube called urethra.

Question 39. Which organ in our body is responsible for purification of blood? How? [2 MARKS]
 
 Discuss Question

:
Each point: 1 Mark

Question 40. Anwer the following questions: [5 MARKS]
1. Name the vessels which carry blood to the heart.
2. Name the vessels which carry blood away from the heart.
3. Name the blood vessel that brings oxygenated blood to the human heart.
4. Which chamber of the human heart receives deoxygenated blood?
5. Describe how deoxygenated blood from this chamber is sent to all parts of the body.
 Discuss Question

:
Each point: 1 Mark
1. Veins are the vessels which carry blood to the heart.
2.Arteries are the vessels which carry blood away from the heart.
3. Pulmonary vein is the blood vessel that brings oxygenated blood to the human heart.
4. Right chamber of the human heart comprising of right atrium and right ventricle receives deoxygenated blood from all the parts of the body.
5. De-oxygenated blood comes from the body to the upper chamber on the right, the right atrium, as it expands. Then it contracts to transfer the blood to the right ventricle causing it to dilate. The right ventricle, in turn, pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation which is brought back to left atrium by pulmonary vein. Itis then pumped to the rest of the body by aorta.
