Q

how is fat broken down?

A

fat –> lipase –> fatty acids and glycerol
- fat is broken down by lipase into fatty acids and glycerol

fat: large molecule
lipase: enzyme
fatty acids and glycerol: small soluble (product)

21
Q

what are 3 adaptations of the alveoli?
all of these helps increase the rate of diffusion

A

1.folded walls –> larger SA
2. very thin walls —> shorter diffusion pathway
3. good blood supply—> maintains steep conc gradient

Q

where does oxygen diffuses from in the blood?

A

diffuses from alveoli into blood
- from high conc to low

24
Q

where does CO2 diffuse from in the blood?

A

diffuses from blood into alveoli
- from high conc to low

25
Q

what are blood vessels?

A

what the blood moves through?
(arteries and veins)

26
Q

what is the function of the arteries?

A

carries blood away from the heart
- is a blood vessel

27
Q

what are 3 structures of the arteries?

A

1.thick walls —> to withstand high pressure
2. elastic walls —> so they can stretch and return to original shape
3. thick muscles —> to maintain the force on the blood

28
Q

what is the function of the veins?

A

carries blood to heart

29
Q

what is the structure of the veins?
n.d

A
30
Q

what are the 4 blood components?

A

red blood cells. white blood cells, platelets, plasma

31
Q

what is the function of red blood cells?

A

carries oxygen to the body cells

32
Q

what is the function of white blood cells?

A

protects the body against pathogen that cause diseases

33
Q

what is the function of platelets?

A

involved with blood clotting
( stops you bleeding)

34
Q

what is the function of plasma?

A

carries nutrients, CO2 and waste products

35
Q

what is the calculation for blood flow?

A

Cardiac output= heat rate x stroke volume

36
Q

what is cancer?

A

an uncontrolled growth of cells
- cells divide uncontrollably and form a mass of cells called tumours

37
Q

what are the 2 types of cancer tumours?

A

benign and malignant tumours

38
Q

what are malignant tumours?

A

uncontrolled growth of cells that can invade other tissues
- they spread throughout the body via the blood where they form secondary tumours

39
Q

what are benign tumours?

A

uncontrolled growth of cells that can’t invade other tissues

40
Q

what are 4 cancer survival rates?

A
  1. earlier diagnosis
  2. improved treatment
  3. more cancer screening
  4. improve patient knowledge of risk factors
41
Q

what are non communicable diseases?

A

diseases that can’t spread from person to person

42
Q

what are the 2 risk factors of NCDs?

A

medical and lifestyle
medical: substances in a persons body or environment
lifestyle: aspect’s of a persons life

43
Q

what are 4 medical risk factors of NCD’s?

A

1.high cholesterol –> fatty substances
2. high blood pressure
3. diabetes
4. genetic factors

44
Q

what are 4 lifestyle risk factors of NCD’s?

A

1.obesity
2. smoking
3. alcohol
4. high fat diet

45
Q

what are 2 links between medical and lifestyle risk factors on NCDs?

A

obesity is linked to high cholesterol

smoking is linked to high blood pressure
