Q

A

Because pressure in aorta higher than in ventricle;

18
Q

Heart & circulation – explain how the atrioventricular valve is closed (2)

A

  2. (Elastic tissue) stretches when ventricles contract OR Recoils when ventricle relaxes;
  3. Muscle for contraction / vasoconstriction;

A
  1. (Plasma) proteins remain; Accept albumin/globulins/fibrinogen for (plasma) protein
  2. (Creates) water potential gradient

OR Reduces water potential (of blood);

  1. Water moves (to blood) by osmosis;
  2. Returns (to blood) by lymphatic system;
24
Q

Tissue fluid - Explain the role of the heart in the formation of tissue fluid. (2)

A
  1. Contraction of ventricle(s) produces high blood / hydrostatic pressure;
  2. (This) forces water (and some dissolved substances) out (of blood capillaries);
25
Tissue fluid - High absorption of salt from the diet can result in a higher than normal concentration of salt in the blood plasma entering capillaries. This can lead to a build-up of tissue fluid. Explain how. (2)
1. (Higher salt) results in lower water potential of tissue fluid; 2. (So) less water returns to capillary by osmosis (at venule end); OR 3. (Higher salt) results in higher blood pressure / volume; 4. (So) more fluid pushed / forced out (at arteriole end) of capillary;
26
Tissue fluid - High blood pressure leads to an accumulation of tissue fluid. Explain how. (2)
1. High blood pressure = high hydrostatic pressure; 2. Increases outward pressure from (arterial) end of capillary / reduces inward pressure at (venule) end of capillary; 3. (So) more tissue fluid formed / less tissue fluid is reabsorbed.
27
Tissue fluid - Formation and reabsorption (8)
1. At arteriole end high hydrostatic pressure/blood pressure; 2. Hydrostatic pressure higher than effect of osmosis; 3. Small molecules/named example eg glucose; water 4. Forces out; 5. Proteins remain in blood/ not removed as they are too large to leave capillary; 6. Increasing/giving higher concentration of blood proteins so proteins lower water potential of blood; 7. Water/fluid moves back into blood; 8. Water moves by osmosis
28
Water - Describe the cohesion-tension theory of water transport in the xylem. (5)
