Q

Pacemaker

A

Composed of a SA node( top right corner of the walls in right atrium) and AV node( in septum, near tricuspid valve) These nodes emit an electrical impulse causing systole of the atriums and ventricles of the heart

Q

Describe a open circilatory system and its advantages and disadvantages

A

used for insects. pumps blood in the primary body cavity. uses less energy.inefficant at maintaining high rate of blood flow.

Q

Describe a closed circulatory system

A

used in animals. blood never escapes from blood vessles. Blood can be punped harder to supoort a higher metabolic rate. makes the transport process more efficent

Q

Describe the fuction and features of veins

A

carries oxygen deficient blood to the heart.
they have valves to prevent backflow of blood. Trsveld under low pressure. large lumen + thin muscle wall. Endothelium, muscle and elastic

Q

Draw a transverse section to compare and contrast an artery and a vein

A

vein- outer layer of collagen, muscular + elastic tissue (thin in vein), endolumen, lumen.
Artery- outer layer of collagen, muscular + elastic tissue (thick in artery), endolumen, lumen.

25
What do the collagen fibres do
prevent walls from over expanding
26
what is the endothelium
single layer of cells
27
what are capillaries
are composed of single layer of endothelial cells. location of diffusion of oxygen into mucle cells and removal of Co2
28
What is the coronary artery
the artery that feeds the heart itself with blood + oxygen
29
How are capilillaries adapted to fit their role
-larger surface area -rich blood supply -thin cell wall
30
describe the path that blood take through the heart
de oxygenated blood travels through the vena cava. de oxygenated blood from the vena cava enters the right atrium. the right atrium pushes deoxygenated bloos throught the tricuspid valve into the right ventrical. the right atrium pushed deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. the blood is oxygenated in the lungs. oxygenated blood from the lungs travels through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium. the left atrium pushes oxygented blood through the bicuspid valve into lrft ventrical. the left ventrical pushes blood into the aorta. the aorta carries oxygenated blood to the rest of the body
31
Describe the cardiac cycle
in one heart beat.. Blood enters both the atria via pulmonary vein and vena cava. All valves are closed. when atria are full.. electrical impluses from the SA node (sino-arterial) causes the atria to contract.Systole. The tricuspid and bicuspid valves open...blood is pumped into the ventricals. (Lub sound) The atria relax,(disatole) electrical impluses from the VA node( atrioventricular) cause the ventricals to contract. The increase in ventricular pressure causes the ventricals to force blood via the semi-lunar valves in the polmonary artery and aorta (Dub) and the ventrical muscles relax.
32
What is the lub-dub sound caused by
the clousure of valves
33
What is the average bpm
68 bpm
34
What is bloos pressure measured in
mm Hg (mercury)
35
What is the average blood pressure
120/80 mm Hg
36
Why is heart of the health important
Cardiac muscle cannot regenerate and you quickly die your heart stops working
37
what are some thing that are bad for heart
smoking, poor diet + lack of exercise leads to heart diesase- deposites fats on the insides of vessels leading to heart disease and blockages. smoking also increases CO2 levels in the blood, the heart has to pump more frequently to get enough oxygen around the body
38
Saftey procedures take during heart dissection expeirment
Gloves,scalpe,biohazard bag
39
How to identify front of heart
curved upwards
40
how to identify left and right hand side
left and right hand side can be felt by feeling, the left hand side will be firmer than right
41
Name the four components of blood
red blood cells white blood cells platelets plasma
42
Name the role of red blood cell
contains hameglobin nessary to transport oxygen
43
Do red blood cells have any organelles
no nucleus or mitochondria
44
describe the shape of red blood cell
bi-concave shape. increased surface area
45
where are red blood cells made
bone marrow
46
How long do red blood cels survive
4months
47
name defiecicy disease associated by red blood cells
anaemia, lack of iron. trace element ti help haemogblin transport oxygen around the body.
48
do red blood cells have a longer life span or do white blood cells
red blood cells survive longer
49
Do white blood cells contain organelles
presence of nucleus and mitochondria
50
What do white blood cells do
defence against disease
51
What are the subsections of white blood cells
Lymphocytes, Monocytes
52
Name the composition of plasma
90% water,7% protein,3% dissolved material
53
Whats the purpose of plasma
watery part of blood,medium for chemical reactions to occour. transports CO2, helps to distrubute heat
54
what is the role of platelets in the body?
clot blood with vitamin k to reduce bloos less and prevents entry of microrganisms
55
Deficincy disease of inability to clot blood
Hameophilia
56
What is the Lymphatic system
one way circulatory system composed of dead ending lymph vesseles and lymph nodes
57
Functions of the Lymphatic system
defence agaist infection. collect extracellular fluid and return it to the main circulation ( blood) absorb and transport fats from the digestive system
58
Pathway of the lymphatic system
one way lymphatic system. waste as a result of respiration and other celular reactions passes out of cells into tissue fluid.Lymph capillaries pass waste onto larger lymph ducts/vessels Passed from lymph vessels to thoracic duct or large right lymph duct Both of these ducts are connected to subclavian vein located in neck From here, blood returned to heart and then onto lungs (where CO2 removed etc.) all lymph vessle s eventually converge into the vena cava
59
What are Lymph nodes
small swellings along lymph vessles- they contain a number of lymphocytes
60
What do lymph nodes do
they filter bacteria and other harmful materials from lymph
