UNIT 8-TRANSPORT IN ANIMALS🤎 Flashcards
explain what a mammalian circulatory system is
❤️
define two types of circulation, describe the functions of the four main blood vessels involved in these two types of circulation
❤️
relate the structure of arteries, veins and capillaries to their function, use diagrams (skill: be able to recognise these vessels from photomicrographs and electron micrographs)
❤️
draw the structure of red blood cells, monocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes
❤️
state the importance of water in transport in animals and relate its properties (2) to it’s roles
❤️
explain in detail how tissue fluid is formed a capillary network and state it’s functions
❤️
explain what happens at the arterial end and venule end of the capillary bed in detail
❤️
describe the function of red blood cells and relate the structure of red blood cells to their function
❤️
describe the structure and function of haemoglobin in red blood cells
❤️
draw and explain the oxygen dissociation curve of adult haemoglobin, explain the importance of the oxygen dissociation curve at partial pressures of oxygen in the lungs and in respiring tissues
❤️
describe the bohr shift and explain the importance of the bohr shift, use equations in the explanation (include the explanation of formation of haemoglobinic acid)
❤️
describe the chloride shift and explain the importance of the chloride shift
❤️
describe the role of plasma in the transport of carbon dioxide (describe 3 different ways carbon dioxide is transported), use a diagram if necessary
❤️
draw and label the external and internal structure of the mammalian heart
❤️
explain the differences in the thicknesses between the atria and ventricles and the left and right ventricles
❤️
