Animal Transport

Question 1

3 Main Component of Blood

Answer 1

Plasma
Red Blood Cells
White Blood Cells

Question 2

Main function of blood

Answer 2

To transport, nutrients oxygen and C02

Question 3

Plasma

Answer 3

Carries the red and white blood cells
Contains proteins( Such as antibodies or hormones)
Carries nutrients
Transports some carbon dioxide gas

Question 4

Function of Red blood cells

Answer 4

transport oxygen efficiently around the body in the form of oxyhaemoglobin

Question 5

Red blood Cell Specialisations

Answer 5

biconcave in shape
having no nucleus
containing haemoglobin

Question 6

Biconcave shape

Answer 6

The shape gives a large surface area for oxygen to diffuse in/out of the cell

Question 7

No Nucleus

Answer 7

Creates more space for haemoglobin(and therefore more oxygen can be transported)

Question 8

Contains haemoglobin

Answer 8

This chemical combines with oxygen to allow it to be transported in the form of oxyhemoglobin

Question 9

Haemoglobin

Answer 9

protein molecule

Question 10

Where in body would red blood cells pick up oxygen

Answer 10

lungs

Question 11

Function of White blood cells

Answer 11

Part of the immune system are involved in destroying pathogens

Question 12

Phatogens

Answer 12

Disease carrying organism such as bacteria, viruses and fungi

Question 13

Phagocytes

Answer 13

Carry out phagocytosis by engulfing pathogens

Question 14

Lymphocytes

Answer 14

Produce antibodies that destroy pathogens. Each antibody is specific to a particular pathogen.

Question 15

Arteries function

Answer 15

Arteries carry blood at high pressure away from the Heart

Question 16

Arteries Structure

Answer 16

Thick Walls
Muscular Walls
Narrow Central channel

Question 17

Capillaries function

Answer 17

Exchange of materials between the blood and tissues and organs

Question 18

Capillaries Structure

Answer 18

Thin-walled
Large surface area
Forms network at tissues and organs

Question 19

Vein Function

Answer 19

Veins carry blood at low pressure back into the heart

Question 20

Vein Structure

Answer 20

Thinner Walls
Wider central channel
Contains valves (to prevent the backflow of blood)

Question 21

What type of blood does the right side of heart carry

Answer 21

Carries deoxygenated blood , which means blood rich in carbon dioxide

Question 22

What type of blood does the left side of heart carry

Answer 22

Carries oxygenated blood which means it is rich in oxygen

Question 23

What is the function of the valves?

Answer 23

Valves prevent the backflow of blood ensuring it flows in one direction through the heart

Question 24

Name the 4 Chamber of the heart

Answer 24

Right atrium
Right ventricle
Left atrium
Left ventricle

Question 25

Name 4 main blood vessels

Answer 25

Vena Cava Polmenary Artery Aorta Polmenary Vein

Question 26

Function of coronary arteries?

Answer 26

The function of the coronary arteries is to supply the heart muscle with oxygenated blood

Question 27

Describe Pathway of blood through the heart

Answer 27

-Blood in the left atrium is oxygenated -Blood in the left atrium is pumped out in to the left ventricle Blood is then pumped out of the left ventricle, out of the heart and into the heart -The Aorta carrier blood to the body cells to deliver oxygen for aerobic respiration -Blood is now deoxygenated -The blood return from the organs of the body to the heart by a vein called vena cava -The vena cava carries deoxygenated blood into the right atrium -Blood is pumped from the right atrium to the right ventricle -Deoxygenatdd blood is then pumped out of the right ventricle, out of the heart and into the polemnary Artery -The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart towards the lungs -In the lings, blood picks up oxygen and deposits carbon dioxide, this is called respiration -Blood return back to the heart, through the polmenary Vein to the left atrium

Question 28

Why is the muscle of the left ventricle thicker than the right?

Answer 28

The muscle on the left ventricle pumps blood all the way around the body whereas the right ventricle only pumps blood to the lungs.

Question 29

What is the need for absorption

Answer 29

For oxygen and other vital nutrients from food must be absorbed into the bloodstream and delivered to the cells for respiration

Question 30

Gas exchange in the lungs

Answer 30

Carbon dioxide -diffuses from blood into the alveoli Oxygen -diffuses from alveoli into the blood

Question 31

Digestion

Answer 31

The breakdown of large insoluble molecules into small soluble molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Question 32

Digestion Molecules

Answer 32

Carbohydrates- Glucose Protein- Amino Acids Fats- Fatty acids and glycerol

Question 33

Lacteal Absorption

Answer 33

Absorbs fatty acids and glycerol

Question 34

Blood Capillary Absorption

Answer 34

Absorbs glucose and amino acids

Question 35

Alveoli and Villi features

Answer 35

Thin walls Large surface area Extensive blood supply
