Biological Science Important Diagrams

All important diagrams for BSE Telangana Class 10 Biology with complete label lists and drawing tips — nephron, neuron, heart, leaf, reflex arc, and flower.

Nephron (Excretory Unit of Kidney)

4 marks

Labels to include:

GlomerulusBowman's CapsuleProximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)Loop of Henle (descending + ascending limb)Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)Collecting Duct

Drawing Tips:

Draw the Bowman's capsule as a cup enclosing the glomerulus ball. PCT and DCT are coiled — draw them wavy. Loop of Henle dips down into a U-shape. All six labels must be present for full marks.

Neuron (Nerve Cell)

4 marks

Labels to include:

Cell Body (Cyton / Soma)NucleusDendritesAxonMyelin Sheath (Schwann Cells)Nodes of RanvierAxon Terminal / Synaptic Knob

Drawing Tips:

Draw a star-shaped cell body with short, branching dendrites on one side. The long axon extends from the other side, with the myelin sheath shown as segments (nodes of Ranvier = gaps between segments). End with the axon terminal branching into buttons.

Human Heart (Vertical Section)

4–5 marks

Labels to include:

Right Atrium (RA)Left Atrium (LA)Right Ventricle (RV)Left Ventricle (LV)Tricuspid ValveBicuspid (Mitral) ValveSuperior Vena CavaAortaPulmonary ArteryPulmonary Vein

Drawing Tips:

Left ventricle has thicker walls than right — draw this clearly. Right side carries deoxygenated blood (from body → lungs). Left side carries oxygenated blood (from lungs → body). Label at least 8 of the 10 parts for full marks.

Cross-Section of Leaf

4 marks

Labels to include:

Upper EpidermisCuticle (waxy layer above upper epidermis)Palisade Mesophyll CellsSpongy Mesophyll CellsAir SpacesLower EpidermisStoma (singular of Stomata)Guard CellsXylem vesselsPhloem

Drawing Tips:

Draw two horizontal lines (upper and lower epidermis). Pack tall, cylindrical palisade cells just below upper epidermis. Loosely packed spongy cells go below — leave visible air spaces. Stomata open from lower epidermis — draw two kidney-shaped guard cells around the pore.

Reflex Arc

4 marks

Labels to include:

Receptor (sense organ)Afferent / Sensory NeuronSpinal Cord (Relay Neuron)Efferent / Motor NeuronEffector (muscle or gland)

Drawing Tips:

Draw the spinal cord as a vertical oval in the centre. Receptor is on the left — arrow goes from receptor → sensory neuron → spinal cord (dorsal root). Motor neuron exits from spinal cord (ventral root) → effector on the right. Show arrows indicating direction of impulse.

Flower Showing Reproductive Parts

3–4 marks

Labels to include:

SepalPetalStamen (Filament + Anther)Carpel/Pistil (Stigma + Style + Ovary)Ovule (inside ovary)ReceptaclePeduncle (flower stalk)

Drawing Tips:

Draw the flower in longitudinal section (cut down the middle). Stamen is male — show the anther at the top of the filament. Carpel is female — the ovary at the base with ovules inside. Stigma is at the top of the style, where pollen lands.
