#1
正面 (问题)

Explain why many animals need a heart and circulatory system

背面 (解答)

• heart needed to pump/move blood around the body • many animals have a small surface area ratio to volume • a circulatory system is needed to overcome limitations of diffusion • blood needs to pump molecules around body

#2
正面 (问题)

Explain what is meant by a double circulatory system?

背面 (解答)

• blood flows twice through the heart for one circuit • blood goes through heart to lungs and rest of the body

#3
正面 (问题)

What are the properties of water that make it an ideal transport medium ?

背面 (解答)

• water is a solvent • water molecules surround ions • H bonds form between water and solute • water is liquid so has the ability to flow

#4
正面 (问题)

What is the difference between arteries and capillaries

背面 (解答)

• arteries have thick wall where as caps are one cell thin • arteries have lots of collegen where as caps have none • arteries have lots of muscle where as caps have none • arteries have lots if elastic tissue where as cap have none

#5
正面 (问题)

Explain how the structure of an artery wall is adapted to both withstand and maintain high blood pressure

背面 (解答)

• lots of collagen which provides strength to withstand pressure -muscle tissue allows contraction of lumber • elastic fibres stretch and recoil which allows lumen to grow and go back

#6
正面 (问题)

Explain how the structure of a vein relates to its function

背面 (解答)

• large lumen to reduce resistance to blood flow back to heart • valves prevent backflow of blood • thin layer of muscular tissue to maintain blood pressure • smooth endothelium to reduce resistance to blood flow

#7
正面 (问题)

Describe the Cardiac cycle

背面 (解答)

The cardiac cycle consists of three stages: atrial systole, ventricular systole and diastole. During atrial systole, the atria contract forcing atrioventricular valves open and blood flows into ventricles During ventricular systole, ventricles contract, semi lunar valves open as oxygenated blood is forced out of the heart through the aorta to the body and through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Diastole - atria and ventricles relax, semi lunar valves close

#8
正面 (问题)

Explain differences between pressure changes in left atrium and left ventricle during cardiac cycle

背面 (解答)

• pressure changes are smaller in atrium than in ventricle • the atrium has less cardiac muscle than ventricle • the atrium does not have to use blood as far as ventricle has to • the increase in pressure happens in the atrium before ventricle -atrial systole has to happen before venatical system in order for the ventricle to fill with blood -therefore increasing the atrial pressures which increases pressure in ventricles

#9
正面 (问题)

Describe how atherosclerosis occurs

背面 (解答)

• damage to endothelial cells • inflammatory response • large white blood cells enter • build up of cholesterol • atheroma forms • Calcium salts and fibrous tissue present • elasticity reduced • artery narrows • blood pressure increases

#10
正面 (问题)

How does blood clotting process occur

背面 (解答)

-thromboplastin released which starts cascade - concerts prothrombin to thrombin - catalysed conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin - firin creates mesh fibres -platelets and blood cells get trapped in mesh -form a blood clot

#11
正面 (问题)

Explain how the diet of a person could affect the development of CVD

背面 (解答)

• high salt intake • increases blood pressure • high blood pressure damages entholeoum • higher intake on saturated fats / LDLS increase risk f atheroma forming

#12
正面 (问题)

Describe the roll of LDLS in the development of atherosclerosis

背面 (解答)

-LDLs carry cholesterol in the blood -cholesterol is deposited to atheroma in the endothelium of artery

#13
正面 (问题)

Describe how very high blood pressure could result in atherosclerosis

背面 (解答)

• high blood pressure damages endothelium of artery • this causes a inflammatory response • white blood cells and cholesterol accumulate • Atheroma forms -calcium slates and fibrous tissue build up -Plaque is formed

#14
正面 (问题)

Explain how atherosclerosis can result in damage to heart muscle

背面 (解答)

-narrowing of lumen in arteries - reduced blood flows and oxygen to cardiac muscles - reduces aerobic respiration

#15
正面 (问题)

Explain why high level of sugar in a persons diet could lead to obesity

背面 (解答)

-energy intake higher than energy output -excess sugar can be stored as fat - leads to weight gain - obesity indicates by BMI above 30 or was it it hip ratio

#16
正面 (问题)

Devise a procedure to compare the effects of decaffeinated coffee and regular coffee on the heart of daphnia

背面 (解答)

• describe the procedure -record heartbreak before and after placing in decaf or reg • controlled variable for coffee • refinance to IV/DV • calculate mean etc

#17
正面 (问题)

Give one structural difference between amylose and amylopectin

背面 (解答)

-amylose is unbranches and 1,4 glycosidic bonds -amylopectin branched and has 1,4 and 1,6 glycosidic bonds

#18
正面 (问题)

Describe the formation of glycogen from glucose

背面 (解答)

• joined i condensation reaction • formed 1,4 and 1,6 glycosidic bonds

#19
正面 (问题)

Explain how the structure of glycogen allows it to be an energy store

背面 (解答)

• • polymer of glucose • provides glucose for respiration • branched - rapid hydrolysis -1,6 glucose bonds • compact it allow large amounts of energy to be stored in small place • insoluble - doesn’t effect osmosis

#20
正面 (问题)

Compare and contrast the structure of a disaccharide with glycogen

背面 (解答)

-both contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen - both contain glycosidic bonds -bonds contain glucose BUT -glycogen contains 1,4 and 1,6 where as disaccharide only have one type - glycogen only contains glucose where as disaccharides contain glucose and other monoscharrdis

#21
正面 (问题)

Compare the structure of amylose, amylopectin and glycogen

背面 (解答)

-amylose - alpha glucose, 1,4 gb, spiral shaped, not branched and energy store in plants -amylopectin - alpha glucose, 1,4/1,6 gb , spiral shaped, is branched, energy store in plants -glycogen - alpha glucose, 1,4/1,6 , spiral ish , is branched, energy store in animals

#22
正面 (问题)

Explain the benefits of statins to human health

背面 (解答)

• lower blood cholesterol • inhibition of cholesterol synthesise in liver • reduce risk of cvd

#23
正面 (问题)

Explain how anticoagulants can help reduce the effects of CVD

背面 (解答)

-prevent the formation of blood clot -reduces the stickiness of plates -clotting factors are not sythsies - risk of blood vessels is reduced

#24
正面 (问题)

What is the risk of anticoagulants

背面 (解答)

Internal bleeding Stomach uclers
