  • 3.1 Exchange and Transport
    • Transport in Animals
      • Blood + tissue fluid
        • Tissue fluid
          • Lymph
          • Arterial end
            • Hydrostatic pressure > oncotic pressure

            • Oncotic pressure > hydrostatic pressure
          • Erthrocytes
            • Biconcave shape
              • large SA
            • Haemoglobin
              • + oxygen = oxyhaemoglobin
              • Large conjugated protein
      • Fetal haemoglobin
        • high affinity for O2

      • Oxygen Disassociation curve
      • Cardiac Cycle
        • Systole

    • Exchange Surfaces
      • Features of efficient exchange surface
        • Thin layers
        • Good blood supply
        • Good ventilation
        • Large surface area
      • Ventilation
        • Expiration
          • Air moves out
          • Muscles relax
          • Diaphragm relaxes
          • Pressure increases
        • Inspiration
          • Thorax volume increases
          • Diaphragm contracts
          • External intercostal muscles contract
          • Air moves in
      • Human Gaseous Exchange System
        • Alveoli
          • Good ventilation - maintains conc. gradient
          • 1 cell thick
          • Large SA
          • Blood supply maintains steep conc. gradient
        • Nasal Cavity
          • Large SA, good blood supply & secretes mucus
        • Goblet Cells
          • secrete mucus into trachea & cilia move mucus away
        • Trachea
          • wide tube with cartilage rings - prevent it from collapsing
        • Bronchioles
          • contain smooth muscle = allows contraction/ relaxation
        • Bronchus
      • Gaseous Exchange in Fish
        • Gill adaptations
          • Rich blood supply
          • Large SA for diffusion
        • Counter current exchange system
          • blood flows in one direction + water in other
        • Gill filaments increase SA
    • Transport in Plants
      • Adaptations
        • Xerophytes
          • Thick waxy cuticle
          • Sunken stomata - reduce transpiration
        • Hydrophytes
          • Large SA of stem + roots = maximises photosynthesis
          • Lots of stomata
      • Translocation
        • Companion cells
          • cell membrane - many folding
          • Large SA for A.S of sucrose
          • Many mitochondria
        • Phloem unloading
          • Diffusion of sucrose of phloem from cell to surroundings
        • Phloem loading
          • Passive
            • Sucrose moves from source - sink via symplast route
          • Active
        • Bulk movement of organic compounds from sources - sink
      • Transpiration rate
        • Stomata open + close = controls rate
        • more light = more evaporation
        • Water loss from plant leaves + stem via diffusion + evaporation
          • cohesion
          • adhesion
          • capillary action
  • ECG
    • Tachycardia
    • Bradycardia
    • Atrial fibrillation
    • Ectopic heartbeat
  • Blood vessels
    • Smooth muscle
      • allows lumen to change size
    • Arterioles
    • Collagen
      • Structural support
    • Veins
      • Have valves = stop backflow of blood
    • Capillaries
      • Large SA for diffusion
    • Arteries
      • carry oxygenated blood
  • Vascular System
    • Phloem
      • for support
      • transports solutes
