Q

What is the difference between respiration and breathing

A

Respiration is the chemical process that breaks down nutrient molecules (specifically glucose) in living cells to release energy
But breathing is the mechanism that brings air into and out of the lungs through gas exchange

Q

Explain how inhalation works

A

The outer intercostal muscles contract and MOVE THE RIB CAGE UPWARDS AND OUTWARDS
Whilst the diaphragm also contracts and dome flattens
So the volume inside the thorax is increased
So the pressure decreases in the thorax and is lower than that of atmospheric pressure
So air enters the lungs

Q

Explain how exhalation works

A

The external intercostal muscles relax and the internal intercostals move the rib cage down
The diaphragm also relaxes and returns to its usual dome shape
The volume in the thorax decreases
So the pressure is higher than that of atmospheric pressure
So air is moved out of the lungs

Q

Explain what happens to the breathing rate when a person exercises

A

When you exercise, your muscles contract more and your body needs to break down more ATP for energy,
Thus you need to respire more so your body needs to take in more oxygen and remove more carbon dioxide
So the rate and depth of breathing increases

Q

Explain why the heart rate increases during excercise

A

Muscles contract more and need to break down more ATP for energy
So need to aerobically respire more and thus need to bring larger amounts of oxygen into the blood and need to remove larger amounts
therefore the heart needs to pump more blood per second so the heart rate increases

Q

Explain why and how a fit persons resting heart rate differs from an unfit person

A

Fit person has a lower resting heart rate than an unfit person
Because training strengthens the heart
so they pump more blood per minute than an unfit person
Therefore can pump at a slower rate to supply oxygen to the aerobically respiring cells of the body

Q

Explain what happens when a person has bronchitis(4)

A

Tar destroys Cilia in the airways so they can not sweep mucus so there is a build up of dirt and bacteria
which blocks the airways and makes it difficult to breathe
And the lining of the cells are irritated
thus they produce more mucus which also builds up and causes a “smokers cough”

Q

Explain how a smokers cough is formed

A

Tar irritates the lining of the cell which is then stimulated to produce more mucus
and it damages the cilia cells so mucus is unable to be swept away
So builds up in airways and causes the cough

Q

Explain what happens when a person has emphysema(4)

A

Carcinogens damage the walls of the alveoli causing them to fuse together into large irregular shapes
This decreases the surface area of them
So gas exchange is made less efficient
So less oxygen can be dissolved in the blood stream
So the person has more difficulties breathing

Q

Why is carbon monoxide dangerous

A

It binds more tightly to the haemoglobin in the blood than oxygen does
So less oxygen is transported around the body
So cells can not respire as well and the person will have difficulty breathing

Q

Why would a pregnant woman who smokes child be underweight

A

Carbon monoxide present in a cigarette will bind more tightly with the haemoglobin in the fetuses red blood cells
and so less oxygen will be transported to the cells if it’s body
So less aerobic respiration will take place
Which will alter the growth and development of the fetus

Q

Explain the process of how deoxygenated blood enters the heart and how it returns back to the heart(6)

A

Deoxygenated blood enters the VENA and then enters the RIGHT ATRIUM, which contracts so pressure increases and the TRICUSPID VALVW opens to allow blood to flow into the RIGHT VENTRICLE
This contracts so the pressure increases and forces the blood to flow into the SEMILUNAR VALVE
From where it leaves through the PULMONARY ARTERY
Where it travels into the lungs through the CAPILLARIES through the alveoli
And then is transported back to the heart through the PULMONARY VEIN

Q

Explain the process of how oxygenated blood enters the heart and then how it returns back to the heart(5)

A

Oxygenated blood enters through the PULMONARY VEIN into the LEFT VENTRICLE, where this contracts and thus increases the pressure to force blood to flow through the BICUSPID VALVE into the LEFT VENTRICLE
The left ventricle also contracts to increase the pressure, forcing the blood into the SEMILUNAR VALVE
where from here the blood leaves through the AORTA and the high pressure closes the VALVE
and then travels to other parts of the body and then enters from the VENA CAVA

Q

Give six adaptations of the heart:

A

1)split into two ventricles to allow different pressures, where left ventricle is thicker than the right ventricle because it pumps blood to whole body
2)walls of the atria are thin, which stretch when blood enters and contract to push blood through the tricuspid and bicuspid valves
3)made of cardiac muscle, which can continuously contract and expand without being fatigued
4)cardiac muscle has its own blood supply through coronary arteries and coronary veins which can supply it with oxygen and nutrients so that it can continue to contract and expand
5)contain valves which allow blood flow in only one direction
6)split by a septum which separates oxygenated and deoxygenated blood

Q

What is the purpose of the coronary arteries

A

To supply oxygen and nutrients to the cardiac muscle

43
Q

How do high cholesterol levels lead to coronary heart disease

A

Cholesterol can build up and block the thin coronary arteries
Which cuts off the blood supply, preventing oxygen and glucose from being transported to the cardiac muscle
So the cells can not aerobically respire and release energy for the muscles to contract
Resulting in a heart attack

44
Q

How does smoking increase the chances of coronary heart disease

A

1)smoke damages the lining of the coronary artery which leads to a build up in plaque
2)plaque narrows the diameter of the lumen which leads to blood clots
3)so blood can not flow as easily which increases the amount of oxygen and glucose transported the cells of the cardiac muscle for aerobic respiration
4)therefore the heart can no longer contract which leads to a heart attack

45
Q

6 factors that increase the chance of coronary heart disease and explain how

A

1) High blood pressures, because they increase the strain on the heart, which causes the walla of the artery to be damaged so blood clots likely
2)Smoking, raises blood pressure, blocking arteries and more strain on heart, and nicotine and carbon monoxide make blood clots more likely
3) Stress, increases blood pressure causing more strain on the heart
4) Lack of exercise, because exercising reduces blood pressure and strengthens the heart
5)Diet, because increased amount of saturated fats can increase cholesterol levels. High cholesterol levels can create build up of plaque that can build up in arteries and create blood clots
6)Heditary, some people have a tendency to develop coronary heart disease

46
Q

How many times does the heart beat per minute on average

A

70 beats per minute

47
Q

Explain how the body changes under the influence of adrenaline

A

Adrenal glands trigger the hormone adrenaline
which increases the heart rate
So amount of blood supplied to the MUSCLE CELLS increases
which increases amount of oxygen transported to the muscles
So the muscles can then release more energy through aerobic respiration, allowing us to produce the “fight or flight response”

48
Q

Explain how the nervous system responds to excercise (4)

A

When the rate of aerobic respiration increases, the rate of carbon dioxide produced also increases
The increase in carbon dioxide levels is detected by receptors in the aorta and the carotid artery
Which send nerve impulses through the sensory nerve to the medulla
The medulla sends nerve impulses to the accelerator nerve which increases blood pressure and heart rate

49
Q

What is the role of the pace maker

A

To regulate heart rate and coordinate the contraction of the heart

50
Q

EXPLAIN three ways that the artery differs from the vein

A

Contains more elastic fibers and muscle to withstand higher pressures
-contains now valves unlike a vein because high pressure so no backflow of blood
-narrow lumen to increase resistance and withstand high pressures

51
Q

Name two ways that the veins are adapted to their function

A

1) large lumen reduces the resistance to allow blood to flow at lower pressures
2) semilunar valves prevent the back flow of blood as it is low pressures

52
Q

Describe what type of blood arteries and veins carry

A

-arteries carry oxygenated blood (except the pulmonary artery)
-veins carry deoxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein

53
Q

55
Q

Name five components in the blood and their roles

A

1)Plasma- liquid that carries urea to kidneys, distributes heat and carries dissolved nutrients and hormones
2) red blood cells- transport oxygen around the body
3) lymphocytes- produce antibodies to destroy microorganisms
4) phagocytes-engulf and destroy pathogens
5)platelets-release chemicals to make blood clot

56
Q

When haemoglobin combines with oxygen, what does it form

A

Oxyhaemoglobin

57
Q

Explain the three adaptations of the red blood cell and their uses

A

1)No Nucleus- allows more oxygen to be loaded into them
2)biconcave disk- increases surface are to volume ratio for diffusion
3)wall of one cell thick- to optimize diffusion rate

58
Q

What is the main role of the white blood cell

A

To protect the body from invasion of pathogens

59
Q

Explain the stages of phagocytosis (3)

A

1)phagocyte recognizes the presence of the pathogen so produces membrane projections of cytoplasm called pseudopodia
2)pseudopodia surround and enclose the phagocyte into a vacuole and release enzymes to break the microorganism down and digest it
3)the phagocyte absorbs and useful material and expels the rest

60
Q

What are antibodies

A

Soluble proteins

61
Q

Explain 2 different ways in which antibodies can destroy pathogens.

A

1)antibodies can attach to the antigens, causing lathogens to stick together. This makes it easier for phagocytes to engulf
2)antibodies can release antitoxins which can neutralize the toxins produced by the pathogens

62
Q

Why is the gradient for the secondary immune response on a graph steeper than the primary immune response

A

The presence of memory cells from the primary immune response increases the rate at which antibodies are produced and increase the quantity that they are produced in

63
Q

Explain how vaccination is done

A

1) The person is injected with a dead or inactive form of the pathogen which contains the same antigens of the pathogen
2) The lymphocytes detect the antigen and so produce antibodies specific to the antigen to destroy it
3)Some lymphocytes then divide and reproduce to produce memory cells,
4)so if the pathogen is detected again, this secondary immune response will produce antibodies at a faster rate and in a greater quanity

64
Q

Name 3 agents used as vaccines

A

1)dead form of pathogen
2)form of pathogen that is unable to divide and reproduce
3)fragment of the pathogen, that contains only the antigens required

65
Q

Name two cells made in the bone marrow

A

Red blood cells
Platelets

66
Q

Explain what happens when a person receives a cut

A

1) platelets at surface of skin are attracted to the cut and form a clot
2))exposure to the air stimulates them platelets to produce a chemical
which causes soluble fibrinogen fibers to change into insoluble fibrin fibers which form a mesh network over the cut
3)red blood and white blood calls cells become trapped in the mesh, creating a stronger clot which prevents blood from escaping and pathogens from entering
4)clot forms a scab which protects the damaged tissue while new skin grows

67
Q

A balloon is placed In a bell jar to display the mechanism of breathing. Suggest why it does not show the full process

A

Because there are no intercostal muscles shown or rib cage shown

68
Q

Describe how you would investigate the effect of exercise on breathing using cormmss

A

C- whether a person has excercised or not
O-same gender, age and average fitness level of people
R-repeat investigation for reliability
M-the change in BReaths taken per minute
M-measure before exercising (repeat for average) and after exercising in equal one minute intervals
S-same temperature of atmosphere
S-Same excercise for each person

69
Q

Why does the breathing rate remain high even after exercise

A

As the body can not supply enough oxygen during exercise, it starts to use anaerobic respiration
which produces lactic acid in the muscles
The lactic acid in the muscles can only be broken down and removed by the oxygen debt created during exercise
Thus the breathing rate needs to remain high to supply enough oxygen for this

And carbon dioxide has been produced

72
Q

What is the purpose of a valve

A

The prevent backflow

73
Q

Explain why long distance runners have a lower than average resting heart rate

A

1)because of training, the muscle in their heart has strengthened

BACK INTO THE VENTRICLES

80
Q

In the heart of a fetus, the two upper chambers are linked by a hole so that blood can pass between them.
Explain why this hole is closed before baby is born

A

So that oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood do not mix together
And so that oxygenated blood can be pumped through the body

81
Q

Describe how scientists could find out if badger vaccination reduces TB in cattle(3)

A

1)vaccinate cattle in one area and not in the other
2)count number of cattle with TB
3)control number of cattle in each area and the same field size

82
Q

Explain which out of phagocytes and lymphocytes are specific and which are non specific

A

-Lymphocytes are specific because they produce antibodies which are specific to the antigen of the pathogen
-Phagocytes are non specific because they engulf any kind of pathogen

83
Q

Explain what happens to red blood cells in terms of hemoglobin and oxygen when it is in the lungs compared to when it is in other parts of the body.

A

When red blood cells are in the lungs, they load oxygen, so the iron in the haemoglobin helps the haemoglobin to react with the oxygen to form oxyhaemoglobin.
When red blood cells are in other parts of the body they unload oxygen, so the iron in the hemoglobin helps the oxyhaemoglobin to break down and form oxygen and hemoglobin

84
Q

During strenuous activity during exhalation , describe the changes to the intercostal muscles and how this works

A

The internal intercostal muscles will contract, because they work in opposition to the external
So this decreases the volume of the thorax more
So pressure increases even more
And more air is forced out, because there is a greater need to rid the body of the increased carbon dioxide levels)

85
Q

State three gases present in exhaled air and their compositions

A

Oxygen 16%
Carbon dioxide 4%
Nitrogen 78%

86
Q

Why does exhaled air contain less oxygen than inhaled

A

Because some of the oxygen inhaled is used up by cells in the body during aerobic respiration, therefore the amount is less when it is released

87
Q

Is the resting heart rate higher or lower for unfit person and explain why

A

Higher
Because muscles are weaker
So muscles therfore require more oxygen to work for the same amount that a fit person would need to work for

88
Q

Explain how diet can cause coronary heart disease

A

A diet high in saturated fats
Increases cholesterol levels
This increases the build up of plaque
Whoch causes blood clots

89
Q

Why do arteries have elastic walls

A

So that they can stretch and recoil to maintain high blood pressures

90
Q

Why is the blood flow slow inside capillaries

A

So that there is time for it to exchange substances between the cells

91
Q

Give two adaptations of the capillaries

A

1)permeable so that gases like co2 and oxygen can easily diffuse in and out
2)one cell thick to allow for thin diffusion distance

92
Q

The hepatic portal vein transfers….. blood from …. To the ….

A

Deoxygenated
Gut/small intestine
Liver

93
Q

Explain HOW the heart rate increases when one exercises

A

When exercising, muscles produce more carbon dioxide because aerobically respiring more often
This increase in carbon dioxide is then detected by receptors in the aorta and carotid artery
This sends electrical impulses to the medulla in the brain
This transmits Impulses to the carotid muscle, making it contract more frequent,y + with more force

94
Q

The carotid artery leads from the..to the..

A

Heart
To the
Head

95
Q

Receptors in which two blood vessels are used when changing heart rate from exercise

A

The aorta and carotid artery

96
Q

Explain how heart rate changes with adrenaline

A

When on féels threatened, the adrenal glands release adrenaline
These bind to receptors in the heart, causing it to contract more frequently and with more force
This causes heart rate to increase, so amount of oxygen pumped round the blood and transported to cells in the body for aerobic respiration therefore increase, therefore the amount of energy released increases,
So the body can prepare for the “fight” or flight”

97
Q
