47
What are the two sytems of the hearts
- cardiovascular
- double circulatory system
48
What does the right side of the heart carry
Deoxygenated blood
49
What does the left side of the heart caryy
Oxygenated blood
50
What are the four chambers of a heart
Right atrium
Right ventricle
Left artium
Left ventricle
51
How does the blood enter the heart
By the vena cava (right side) and the pulmonary vein (left side)
52
When the blood enters the right side of the heart from the vena cava what happens to the blood when it leaves from the pulmonary artery to the lungs
The artia contracts pushing the blood into the ventricle, where the ventricle contracts forcing it to the pulmonary artery and aorta
53
What is the conary heart disease
Where fat is stuck in the artery ( less oxygen intake) leading the heart to perform at its optimum.
54
What is the conary heart disease caused by
Bad cholesterol (fatty material)
55
As fatty acids material builds up the more…
…heart attacks and the risk of artery not working
56
What are the two treatment pf conary disease
Stent and statins
57
What are stents
A surgery where they stretch open the artery
58
What are statins
A drug prescribed for people who has risk
59
What are the advantages of statins
Easier
Quickly effective
Cheaper
60
What are the disadvantages of statins
Risk of not working
Forgetting to take them - increases cholesterol
Side effect
Not suitable for everyone (elderly)
61
Advantages of stent
Long lasting
No regular intakes like statins
Effective
Less risk
62
Disadvantages of stent
Expensive
Long process
Risk of not working
63
What are the three blood vessel
Artery
Viens
Capillary
64
What is the function of the artery
Takes blood AWAY from the heart
65
Function of viens
BRINGS blood to heart
66

EXCHANGES materials at the tissue (uses diffusion)
67
How is the artery built for their function
Elastic and strong walls
Thick layer of smooth muscle wall
Small lumen (hole)
68
How is the capillaries fit for their function
One cell thick wall (very thin)
Joins up to form veins

Bacteria
Virus
Parasites
77
Types of non communicable diseases
Asthma
Cancer
Colonary heart disease
78
What are the steps in sugar solution on plant tissue experiment
Step 1: peel potatoes - potato skin will affect the rate of osmosis (as it will not take in water)
Step 2: Use cork borker to make potato cylinders the same size (diameter) - everything will stay same no biased
Step 3: use scalpel to trim to same length (preferably 3cm)
Step 4: measure mass and length of each cylinder- then place in test tube
Step 5: use distilled water - chemical in tap water can affect the experiment
- leave over night for osmosis
Step6 : remove cylinder potato and roll on paper - removing moisture on surface
Step 7: measure the mass and the length of the cylinders again
79
What is the equation of percentage change
Change in value
———————— x100
Original value
80
what are the disadvantages of light microscope
- limited magnification
-limited resolution
81
what is magnification
how many times larger the image is than the object
82
what is resolution
how detailed the image is
(sharp image)
83
what is the advantage of an electron microscope
they have a higher magnification and resolution
84
what is the magnification equation
magnification= size of image ÷ real size
85
what does a coarse focusing dial do
it moves the lenses close to the slide
86

93
Question 1: Name an advantage of using an electron microscope over a light microscope.
Electron microscopes have much greater magnification and resolving power
94

the physical sample of what your looking at
95
Name an advantage of using an electron microscope over a light microscope.
they have a much greater resolution and magnification (can be viewed in great detail)
96
how many milli metres is mirco metres
1000
97
A specimen is 38 μm long. the magnification is x100. whats the length of the image produced in mm
(image size = magnification x real size)
image size = 100 x 38 = 3800 μm
(÷ 1000)
3800 μm = 3.8 mm
98
how would you prepare a slide (for onions)
- add a drop of water on clean slide
- place down oinion cell ( peel epidemermal) on wet slide
