Cells

Question 1

Types of cell damage

Answer 1

Physical - trauma, temp,extremes, radiation
Biological - bacteria, virus, parasite
Chemical - toxins, poisons, foreign substance
Metabolic - toxic build up, ischaemia, nutritional balance, fluid imbalance

Question 2

List specialised cells

Answer 2

RBC (erythrocyte)
Spermatozoa (sperm cell)
Ova (egg cell)
Neurons (nerve cell)

Question 3

RBC structure

Answer 3

Large SA
Bioconcave
No nucleus
He

Question 4

RBC function

Answer 4

To carry oxygen around the body

Question 5

RBC link between structure and function

Answer 5

No nucleus and bioconcave allow for oxygen to be carried

Question 6

Spermatozoa structure

Answer 6

Long tail
Big head

Question 7

Spermatozoa function

Answer 7

To fertilise egg to form an embryo

Question 8

Spermatozoa link between structure and function

Answer 8

Long tail w increased mitochondria allows sperm to swim towards the egg

Big head = sperm can bury into egg easier

Question 9

Ova structure

Answer 9

Large
Cytoplasm

Question 10

Ova function

Answer 10

To join with sperm and provide food for zygote

Question 11

Ova link b/w structure and function

Answer 11

Cytoplasm = most chemical reactions take place this allows for cell growth, expansion and replication (zygote)

Question 12

Neuron structure

Answer 12

Connection point at each end (dendrites and axon terminals)

Question 13

Neuron functions

Answer 13

To transmit electrical signals

Question 14

Neuron link b/w structure and function

Answer 14

Connections at each end allow for electrical signals to be passed on form the nervous system to other systems and organs
