With a pippette add olive oil to the bottom of a test tube and 2 cm of ethanol. Tube is shaken and its contents are poured into another tube, and 3/4 of water are added. If a white cloud forms atop the water, lipid is present as ethanol dissolved in water leaving lipid behind as tiny droplets(emulsion)

152
Thorax seperate from lungs using.... | in detail
pleural membranes, which are air tight. There's a space between the 2 structures called the pleural cavity, the outer membranes of the 2 are covered in pleural fluid, so the 2 don't stick when lungs expand for respiration.

- nicotine - Tar
168
The build up of these 7000+ gases(from smoking) in your lungs is called....
tar- forms a lining in lungs and passage way not keeping the air way open, blocking it.
169
What is present in the human blood?
- RBC/ Erythrocytes - WBC/ Lymphocytes/ Phagcyte - Plasma - Platelets
170
Role of plasma
To maintain body temperature and transport important elements such as.... - CO2(for removal) - glucose and cholesterol - Lactic acid - Urea - Antibodies(from WBC) - Hormones - amino acids
171
2 types of WBC | (scientific name of both of these types.)
- Lymphocytes - Phagocyte
172
Role of lymphocytes
To produce antibodies that stick to the antigen of pathogens
173
Effects on pathogens caused by lymphocytes
The antibodies produced by them (once stuck to antigen of pathogen)can... - Act as "label" for phagocyte - It MAY burst pathogen open(but this is the role of phagocytes) - Neutralizes toxins produced by pathogen - Slows down pathogen/ makes them stick together so easier for pathogen to engulf.
174
WHat may a vaccine contain?
- Dead pathogen - Modified toxins of bacteria/ bacteria with modified toxins - Weaker version of pathogen - pathogen with no antigen
175
Why may a vaccien have a pathogen without an antigen?
To eliminate antigens proven not useful to train immune sytem( useful antigens already present in this case)
176
# WBC's What happens after the first exposure/ primary immune response | (the primary immune response is after the first exposure to pathogen.)
Some lymphocytes become "memory cells"who know how/which antibodies are effected/must be made for a specific antigen/pathogen. Allows for faster antibody production, more fast and more effective (as fast as 3-2 hours)
177
Role of phagocytes
Phagocytosis- Engulf bacteria with the help, and produce digestive enzymes to digest and break it down. Quite literally patrol your blood.
178
Adaptations of phagocytes
- Multi-lobed nuclues- allows to change cytoplasm - Digestive enzymes
179
Purpose of clotting
- Stop blood loss - Prevent infection(as skin is torn, skin cannot perform this therefore platelets form a clot to prevent this)
180
# Clotting placide How do platelets make a clott? | use the following: fibrogen, fibrin, protein, plasma
Release a chemical, causing "Fibrinogen" (fibrogen proteins) in plasma to form "fibrin"(an insoluable fibre mesh). RBC's also get stuck in this clott.
181
Adaptations of Erythrocytes
- Biconcave shape for better diffusion of gases, more SA. - No nuclues to maxamise capacity for gases, more SA - Contains haemoglobin, which is a protein. Has Iron which reacts with oxygen.( So it carries oxygen)
182
What's an Erythrocyte
An RBC- carries oxygen in blood.
183
What/ Where do RBC's pass through?
Narrow blood vessels to respiring cells.
184
How many chambers in the heart? Name them.
There are 4 chambers: - Right atrium - right ventricle - Left atrium - left ventricle
185
Purpose of the valves in the heart?
So blood only flows in one direction
185
Why is the left side of the heart bigger than the right?
As the left ventrilce must pump blood to the whole body, alot of pressure is required for contraction, hence the tissue is thicker.
185
Describe the flow of blood through the heart (link it to the structure and function)
1. Blood enters both atriums, de-oxygenated via vena cava into the right, oxygenated via pulmonary veins on the left. 2. Once full, pressured cuspids open, upper heart contracts, blood flows into ventricles 3. Once full semi-lunar valves open, de-oxygenated goed through pulmonary artery to lungs, oxgenated goes via aorta to body. 4. oxygenated blood from lungs goes through pulmonary vein, at the same time right atrium is filling up with more de-oxygenated blood.
185
# Heart What's CHD?
Coronary heart disease
186
Factors that may lead to CHD?
- Heredity - diet - stress - high blood pressure - smoking - lack of exercise
187
How does CHD develop?
when excess cholesterol builds up in coronary arteries, heart recieves less oxygen, less respiration, less muscle contractions, can be fatal.
188
How does blood pressure contribute to CHD?
Excess pressure leads to damage of walls in narrow areteries, promoting plaque buildup.
189
An adaptation of the cardiac muscle?
Is adapted to contract+relax without fatigue.
190
Heart functions at different ------ and ------ based on the body's needs.
- speed - pressure
191
Name the 2 cuspids and state their location.
- Tricuspid on the right - bicuspid on the left
192
What is double circulation?
When blood goes through heart two times before going to the body.
193
Purpose of kidney in ciculatory system
filter urea hormone from blood, important as if not filtered can be fatal
194
Why is single circulation alright in fish but not humnas?
Humans need oxygen fast as large SA, need to maintain high pressure done with double circulation. Fish have small SA, don't need to maintain high pressure.
195
purpose of valves
So that blood doesn't backflow
196
how do valves in veins and heart open and close
when pressure increases, they open, when it decreases they close.

How may a valve get damaged? consequences of this?
By disease. - swelling - clotting - pain+sensitivity
198
Advantages of double circulation
- Pressure can be high and low - Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood is kept seperate - Concentration gradient is kept steep, important for diffusion.
199
characteristics of single circulation
- One loop - Concentration gradient is not as steep - Pressure relativley same throughout - less valves - More CO2 as difficult for it to leave - Suits smaller organisims, with small SA:V ratio
200
Structure and function of veins
Carry blood from organss to heart - Have valves - thin muscle fibres - less muscle/elasticity
201
Structure and function of arteries
Carry blood from heart to organs. - Thick muscle walls with elastic tissue - small lumen
202
Structure and function of capillaries
Supply required products and carry waste products, go through organs. oncell thick for diffusion, have RBC.
203
What is the main purpose of the circulatory system?
Transport oxygen and pump blood to gas exchange organ/other parts of body
204
Pressure in aretries? why?
High- to maintain a fast blood flow and prevent backflow
205
pressure in veins, why?
Low, have a large lumen. Prevent backflow by valves
206
pressure in cappillaries? why?
Low, as thin muscle walls but large lumen. Nothing to prevent backflow.
207
What happens after plaque buildup in coronary artery?
Less blood recieved, less oxygen, anaerobic respiration which leads to lactic acid;pH lowered, enzymes dentaure, cells die, less contractions of heart, can be fatal

Formula for Cardiac output
HRxSV | heart rate x stroke volume(in ml)
