Q

PROCESS OF DIGESTION IN DEPTH

A
  1. Food is ingested through the mouth
    Chemical digestion= enzymes in saliva break down the food.
    Mechanical digestion= Break down of food through teeth.
  2. Bolus is pushed down the oesophagus through a process known as peristalsis.
  3. Bolus enters the stomach
    Chemical digestion= Acids in the stomach further break down the food.
    Mechanical digestion= stomach churns the food
  4. Food enters the small intestine which absorbs the nutrients.
  5. The remaining mass passes the large intestine where the remaining nutrients and water is absorbed.
  6. The waste is stored in the retum and when it is full it sends a signal to be released from the anus.

36
Q

WHAT IS VOMITING

A

When food is ejected out of the stomach, up the oesophagus and through the mouth.

37
Q

WHAT IS IN BLOOD

A

Red blood cells,white blood cells, blood platelets and plasma

38
Q

WHY IS BLOOD RED

A

Blood is red due to an iron-containing pigment called haemoglobin, when oxygen reacts with haemoglobin it creates oxyhaemoglobin and even redder colour. The change in colour shows the amount of oxygen being transported in blood at a time.

39
Q

WHAT HAPPENS TO BLOOD WHEN IT LOSES A NUCLEUS

A

when red blood cells lose a nucleus it increases space to carry haemoglobin and oxygen.

40
Q

BLOOD’S SHAPE

A

Their biconcave shape means they have a large surface area which helps transporting oxygen

41
Q

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN U CUT UR SELF

A

Platelets help clog and plug the damaged blood vessels.

42
Q

BLOOD VESSELS ARTIERS IN THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

A

Blood vessels called arteries transport oxygenated blood away from the heart. Blood travels through the artiers fast and under high pressure.

43
Q

VEINS IN THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

A

Veins transport deoxygenated blood to the heart. Blood flows at a low pressure so the valves stop blood from flowing backwards.

44
Q

CAPILLARIES

A

located between arteries and veins.
The body contains 100,000km of capillaries which penetrate every tissue.
Capillaries transport substances to cells and remove carbon dioxide.

45
Q

THE CHAMBERS OF THE HEART

A

The heart has 4 chambers. 2 chambers collect blood from the lungs and pump it around the body, this blood contains oxygen.

2 chambers collect blood from the body and pump it to the lungs. This blood contains carbon dioxide

46
Q

PUMPS OF THE HEART

A

The heart has 2 pumps.
The first pump is in the right atrium and ventricle which sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs in order to exchange carbon dioxide with oxygen.

The second pump is in left atrium and ventricle sends oxygenated blood to the body.

47
Q

WHAT IS DEOXYGENATED BLOOD

A

Blood that is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide.

48
Q

WHAT IS OXYGENATED BLOOD

A

Blood that is high in oxygen

49
Q

WHAT IS THE PATH OF DEOXYGENATED BLOOD

A
  1. The deoxygenated blood is transported back to the heart and enters the vena cava.
  2. The blood enters the right atrium and passes down into the right ventricle.
  3. When the right ventricle fills up with blood, a valve closes to stop blood from going backwards.
  4. The heart pushes blood from the right ventricle and out of the heart via pulmonary artery.
  5. The blood moves into the lungs where the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen occurs. It becomes oxygenated here.
50
Q

WHAT IS THE PATH OF OXYGENATED BLOOD

A
  1. Oxygenated blood enters the heart via pulmonary vein.
  2. This oxygen which is rich in blood will enter the left atrium and pass down into the left ventricle.
  3. When the left ventricle fills up with blood, a valve closes to stop blood from going backwards.
  4. The heart then pushes blood out of the left ventricle and into the aorta,which transports blood to the body.
51
Q

WHY IS THE WALLS ON THE LEFT SIDE THICKER THAN THE ONES ON THE RIGHT.

A

They are thicker as they need enough force to push blood throughout the body, and the right only sends blood to the lungs.

52
Q

HOW DOES BLOOD PRESSURE OCCUR

A

Due to the force of blood pushing against the artery walls

53
Q

WHAT IS SYSTOLIC PRESSURE

A

When the heart muscles contract a higher pressure is created

54
Q

WHAT IS DIASTOLIC PRESSURE

A

When heart muscles relax, the pressure lowers.

55
Q

PROBLEMS THAT CAN HAPPEN IN THE HEART

A

Anaemia, hole in the heart and a coronary heart disease.

56
Q

WHAT ORGANS DOES FOOD NOT PASS

A

Pancreas, gallbladder and liver

57
Q

Which side contains oxygenated blood and which side contains deoxygenated blood.

A

The right side of the heart contains deoxygenated blood and the left side of the heart contains oxygenated blood

57
Q

Describe the role of the diaphragm and what happens to the diaphragm when we breathe in and out.

A

The role of the diaphragm is a muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdomen. When we breath in the diaphragm flattens and when we breath out it relaxes.

57
Q

Compare physical and chemical digestion.

A

Physical digestion is the mechanical breakdown of food for example the break down of food using your teeth, chemical digestion is when enzymes are used to break down nutrients

57
Q

What is absorbed in the small intestine

A

nutrients

57
Q

What is the trachea

A

A tube that carries air from ur mouth and nose to ur lungs

58
Q

What is the purpose of villi

A

Villi absorbs nutrients from the food that you eat and then shuttle them into your bloodstream so they can travel where they’re needed

59
Q

What is the rib cage

A

The rib cage protects the vital organs and blood vessels. It expands and contracts along with the lungs to allow for efficient breathing

60
Q

What is the difference between respiration and breathing

A

Respiration is a series of chemical reactions that cells perform in order to produce energy from food and breathing is a physical act of moving air into and out of the body, by inflating and deflating our lungs.

Q

what is water absorbed in

A

the large intestine

62
Q

how is the circulatory system related to digestive

A

120/80

64
Q

emphysema is a condition that causes problems in which body system

A

respiratory

65
Q

what happens to a person’s heart rate as they continue to exercise

A

The amount of blood flow to the body cells increase to supply more oxygen to your muscles.

66
Q

What happens to the persons oxygen saturation as they continue to exercise

A

it decreases since oxygen is being used up to produce energy

67
Q

What happens to the person’s respiration rate as they continue to exercise

A

The persons respiration rate increases as it needs more air to travel to the lungs so more oxygen can be taken in to produce more energy

68
Q

Is it true lung tissue has very few blood cells

A

no its false

69
Q

Do capillaires have valves and are they thick or thin

A

Capillaries do not have valves and are thin

70
Q

Mouth

A

Chews food and mixes it with saliva to start the process of digestion

71
Q

Stomach

A

Breaks down food with the help of acid and digestive juices.

72
Q

Are digestive enzymes part of the mechanical or chemical digestion

A

Chemical digestion since food is broken down by enzymes and acids

73
Q

Nose

A

nose filters,warms and humidifies air for breathing

74
Q

What is asthma and what causes it

A

Asthma is a condition that makes it hard to breathe due to swollen airways caused by allergies and smoke.

75
Q

Ventricle and atrium

A

the ventricle pumps blood to the body or lungs and the atrium receives blood from the body or lungs.

76
Q

What happens if we don’t have red blood cells

A

Your body can’t get enough oxygen that can lead to anemia

77
Q

what happens if we don’t have white blood cells

A

Your body would struggle to fight infections

78
Q

What happens if we don’t have platelets

A

Dangerous internal bleeding can occur

79
Q

Name a circulatory system problem and explain it

A

A hole in the heart is when there is a small gap in the heart that causes problems with blood flow. it can be treated by medicine or surgery

80
Q

Appendix

A

Stores healthy types of gut bacteria

81
Q

Name a digestive system condition and explain it

A

Celiac disease is when the body can’t properly digest gluten. It can be treated by maintaining a strict gluten-free diet

82
Q

Why do we have many alveoli and what is the risk if they are destroyed

A

We have many alveoli to help our lungs take in more oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. If they are destroyed,it becomes harder to breathe and get enough oxygen into the body.

83
Q

How does the respiratory and circulatory system work together

A

The respiratory system helps bring in oxygen and the circulatory system moves in to the rest of the body and brings carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be breathed out.
