PAPER 2 - LAST MIN STUFF Flashcards
Compare rate of blood flow DURING exercise with blood flow at rest
- Blood flow through the brain stays the same
- Blood flow through muscles are increased
- Blood flow through digestive system is decreased
In the practical investigating respiration describe a suitable control
What is Fick’s law?
Explain how shivering can help a person regulate their body temperature
Describe what happens to urea as the blood passes through the dialysis machine
Why can a twin sister be a suitable kidney donor
- Kidney is less likely to be rejected
- Cells will have similar DNA
- Cells will not cause an immune response
Factors affecting diabetes?
- Age
- Diet
- Genetic makeup
Explain effect of type 2 diabetes on the body
Explain how sweating helps to cool the body
Function of spongey mesophyll
- Gas exchange
- So Co2/o2 can leave the cells
Why does blood flow increase to the muscles during exercise
Why does the blood flow to the brain stay the same during exercise?
Brain needs a constant amount of glucose and oxygen to function
Why does blood flow to other organs decrease during exercise?
- Allow more blood flow to the working muscles
- Allow for more respiration in muscles
Why do some peoples legs cramp when they were running?
- Anaerobic respiration occurs
- Not enough oxygen gets to muscles
- Lactic acid produced
How are alveoli adapted for gas exchange?
- Large surface area
- Moist
- Good blood supply
- Thin membrane
Factors affecting diffusion rate?
- Surface area
- Concentration difference
- Thickness of membrane
Why is cellular respiration is essential for living organisms
Shape of red blood cell?
Biconcave
Structure of red blood cells:
- Contains haemoglobin
- Biconcave disc shape
- Smooth
- No nucleus
Structure of white blood cells:
- Has nucleus
- Flexible membranes
- Receptors on membrane
Explain why red blood cells cannot be stored in pure water
- Water will move into the red blood cells
- By osmosis
- Against a concentration gradient
Purpose of septum
Stops oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood from mixing
