Q

what is the circulatory system

A

system of tubes (veins, capillaries, arteries) with a pump (heart) and valves (in heart and veins) to ensure one-way flow of blood.

Q

what is the single circulation system

A

Two heart chambers

Blood absorbs oxygen in gills

Released in body cells then back to heart

Q

what is the double circulation system

A

Four heart chambers

Blood passes through heart twice

Oxygenated in lungs, to heart, to body, back to heart

Advantage: delivers greater blood flow rate to tissues around the body as the heart pumps the oxygenated blood to it from the lungs

Q

effect of physical activity on the heart

A

Physical activity makes the heart beat more quickly and more deeply, for an increased circulation of blood so that more oxygen and glucose can get to the muscles.

Q

what is ECG trace

A

The electrical activity of the heart can be monitored by the electrocardiogram, pulse rate and listening to the sounds of the valves closing

Q

what is coronary heart disease

A

Coronary artery becomes blocked, interrupting the supply of blood to the heart muscle.

The heart muscle cells are deprived of oxygen & glucose, and poisonous wastes such as lactic acid build up.

Part of the heart muscle stops contracting, causing a heart attack

Q

causes of coronary heart disease

A

Caused by stress, smoking, poor diet, poor lifestyle & genetically

21
Q

ways to prevent coronary heart disease

A

Can be prevented by not smoking, avoiding fatty food and exercising regularly

22
Q

treatment of coronary heart disease

A

Treated by aspirin and surgery (stents, angioplasty and by-pass)

23
Q

function of artery

A

Transport high pressure blood away from heart

24
Q

structure of artery

A

Elastic walls expand and relax as blood is forced out; causes pulse
Thick walls withstand high pressure
Rings of muscle narrow or widen artery to control blood flow

25
function of vein
Transport low pressure blood to the heart
26
structure of vein
Valves prevent backflow of blood. Blood is at low pressure, but nearby muscles squeeze veins and help push blood to the heart Large diameter and thin walls reduce resistance to flow of blood
27
function of capillary
Allow substances to diffuse into cells
28
structure of capillary
One cell thick wall for easy diffusion Highly branched; large surface area Capillary beds constantly supplied with fresh blood, so diffusion occurs
29
diffusion in the capillary
Useful substances move out of plasma of capillaries into tissue fluid (fluid in between cells in tissues) Cells need oxygen and nutrients, and produce waste products such as CO2 & useful products such as hormone Capillaries are constantly supplied with new blood, otherwise diffusion could not occur
30
which vessel goes from lungs to heart
pulmonary vein
31
which vessel goes from heart to lungs
pulmonary artery
32
which vessel goes from liver to heart
hepatic vein
33
which vessel goes from heart to liver
hepatic artery
34
which vessel goes from kidneys to heart
renal vein
35
which vessel goes from heart to hidneys
renal artery
36
what is the lymphatic system
Circulation of body fluids, and the production of lymphocytes.
37
what is the lymph node
Lymph node contains many lymphocytes which filter lymph.
38
what is tissue fluid
Tissue fluid: made when plasma is squeezed out of capillaries. Substances diffuse between cells and tissue fluid. Tissue fluid returns to the capillaries by osmosis.
39
what are lymph vessels
Lymph vessels collect lymph and return it to the blood.
40
red blood cells function
hemoglobin and oxygen transport
41
white blood cells function
phagocytosis and antibody formation
42
platelets function
causing clotting
43
plasma function
transport of blood cells, ions, soluble nutrients, hormones, carbon dioxide, urea and plasma proteins
44
phagocytes characteristics
- Phagocyte has lobed nucleus and vesicles containing digestive enzymes. - do phagocytosis
45
what is phagocytosis
Phagocytosis: engulf pathogen, vesicles fuse with vacuole, enzymes digest bacteria. Then either destroyed by being ingested by phagocytes, or the antibodies may do it.
46
what is an antigen
protein/ carbohydrate on surface of pathogen which provokes immune system
47
lymphocytes characteristics
- Lymphocytes are found in blood and in lymph nodes | - Large nucleus and they produce antibodies,
48
what are antibodies
Y-shaped protein, bind to label pathogens.
49
what is blood clotting
Reduces blood loss and keeps pathogens out Fibrinogen (inactive) turns to fibrin (activated), and forms a mesh to trap red blood cells, which eventually dries to form a scab.
