vaccine.
Explain how.

Identity the protein that could identify the potential antigen

94

Do not include details about the process of phagocytosis.

A

Agglutination -antibody antigen bind complexes

95
Q

Explain how the treatment with antivenom works and why it is essential to use passive immunity, rather than active immunity.

A

Active immunity too slow
Antibodies bind to toxin and causes its destruction

96
Q

During vaccination, each animal is initially injected with a small volume of venom. Two weeks later, it is injected with a larger volume of venom.
Use your knowledge of the humoral immune response to explain this vaccination programme.

A

-b cells specific to venom reproduced by mitosis
-b cells produce plasma and memory cells
-second dose produce antibodies faster and higher conc

97
Q

Describe how phagocytosis of a virus leads to presentation of its antigens.

A

Phagosome fuses with lysosomes
Lysozymes hydrolyse it
Antigen from virus displayed in cell membrane

98
Q

Describe how presentation of a virus antigen leads to the secretion of an antibody against this virus antigen.

A

-helper T cells binds to antigen
-stimulates spec b cells
-b cell clones
-forms plasma cells that release antibodies

99
Q

Bacterial meningitis is a potentially fatal disease affecting the membranes around the brain. Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis.
(a) In the UK, children are vaccinated against this disease. Describe how vaccination can lead to protection against bacterial meningitis.

A

+antigen binds to surface protein on cell
-b cell divides by mitosis
-releases cytokines
-stimulate clonal expansion
-differentiate b cells to plasma cells which secrete antibodies
-b cells memory cells

100
Q

When a vaccine is given to a person, it leads to the production of antibodies against a disease-causing organism. Describe how.

A

-vaccine contains antigen from pathogen
-macrophage presents antigen on its surface
-T cells complimentary receptor protein binds to antigen
-T cells stimulate b cell
-complimentary antibody in its surface
-b cells secrete large amounts of antibody
-b cells divide to form clone secreting same antibody

101
Q

Describe the difference between active and passive immunity

A

Active -gain antibodies from self
Long term
Memory cell
No antibody exposure

Passive -gain antibodies elsewhere
Antibody exposure
No memory cells
Short term

102
Q

Give the pathway a red blood cell takes when travelling in the human circulatory system from a kidney to the lungs.
Do not include descriptions of pressure changes in the heart or the role of heart valves in your answer.

A

Renal vein
Ven cava to right atrium
Right ventricle to pulmonary artery

103
Q

Tissue fluid is formed from blood at the arteriole end of a capillary bed.
Explain how water from tissue fluid is returned to the circulatory system.

A

Plasma protein remains
Creates water potential gradient
Water moves to blood by osmosis
Returns to blood by lymphatic system

104
Q

Explain how an arteriole can reduce the blood flow into capillaries.

A

Muscle contracts
Constructs lumen

105
Q

blood vessel carrying blood at the lowest
blood pressure.

A

Vena cava

106
Q

At P on the diagram above, the pressure in the left ventricle is increasing. At this time, the rate of blood flow has not yet started to increase in the aorta.

A

Semi lunar valve closed
Bc pressure in sorta is higher than in ventricle

107
Q

At Q on the diagram above there is a small increase in pressure and in rate of blood flow in the aorta.
Explain how this happens and its importance.

A

Elastic recoil
Maintains blood pressure

108
Q

Describe the advantage of the Bohr effect during intense exercise.

A

Releases co2 when respiring in tissues
Disassociate of o2 when high po2

109
Q

owever, the graph above shows that the pCO2 in air breathed out did not show a large increase during the exercise.
Suggest one physiological change that would cause this result. Explain how the physiological change would allow for the removal of the increase in the volume of carbon dioxide produced.

A

Inc in breathing rate
Similar pco2 per breath

110
Q

A heart attack is caused by a lack of glucose and oxygen being delivered to cardiac muscle via the coronary arteries. The overuse of EPO can increase the risk of a heart attack.

A

Causes blood to thicken
Slows blood flow

111
Q

Describe and explain the effect of increasing carbon dioxide concentration on the dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin.

A

Decreases Haemoglobin affinity for o2
Increasing acidity and decreasing ph

112
Q

Explain how valve A in Figure 1 maintains a unidirectional flow of blood.

A

Pressure in left atrium higher than in ventricle causing valves to open
Pressure in left ventricle is higher than if atrium causing valve to close

113
Q

Name the blood vessels that carry blood to the heart muscle.

A

Coronary arteries

114
Q

(a) Binding of one molecule of oxygen to haemoglobin makes it easier for a second oxygen molecule to bind.
Explain why.

A

Binding of first oxygen changes tertiary structure
Uncovers another iron

115
Q

Explain the role of the heart in the formation of tissue fluid.

A

Contraction of ventricles produce high blood pressure
Forces water out of capillaries

116
Q

Lymphoedema is a swelling in the legs which may be caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system.
Suggest how a blockage in the lymphatic system could cause lymphoedema.

A

Excess tissue fluid cannot be reabsorbed

117
Q

Explain how changes in the shape of haemoglobin result in the S-shaped (sigmoid) oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve for HbA.

A

First oxygen binds causing h2 to change shape
Allows more o2 to bind easily
