Immunity
there are 2 types : Primary Response
- exposes to pathogen
- immune cells recognise it
- 4/5 days to show systems
- antibodies multiply
- antibodies level rise
- recovery
- antibody level full
and Secondary Response
- exposes to pathogen
- immune cells recognise it immediatly
- multiply rabidly
- antibodies level reises + remains high
- remains high due to memory cells
- stays in body for lifetime =life long immunity
Functions + Structures of the heart
pulmonary vein = oxygenated blood
valve = bicuspid + tricuspid, this prevents backflow of blood
Tendon = heart strings, supports the valves + stops blowing inside out
vena cava = largest vein
Pulmonary vein = carries blood away (deoxygenated)
Aorta = biggest artery carries oxygenated blood
Semi- lunar = half moon shape valve
White Blood Cells
(refer to notes for picture)
they protect against pathogens ( disease causing organisms) , have nucelus + are larger than red blood cells
Phagocytes , they are cell eaters, engulf pathogens + realse digestive enzymes + destory body cells
Lymphocytes = it recignises that its foreugn, they make chemicals called antibodies and attack in a number of ways, by making them stick toghter, dissolve them , destroy toxins, that pathogens make = immune to the disease
Vaccinations results in a memory cell, that allows antibodies to occur sooner, faster,quicker + in larger quantities upon the next exposure + provides peotection against disease ex) polio
Circulatory system
blood carries oxygen + nutrients to the body cells
Heart = muscualr pump
Arteries = carries blood away from heart + high presssure, thick, muscle
Veins = return it back to the heart + lower pressure, thin walls
Capilaries = tiny blood vessels, near body cells +b oxygen + diffuse from cells
Double Circulation = 2 systems happening at the same time one bringing blood and the other bringing dexoygenated blood
Plasma
liquid part of the blood, contains mostly water
yellow strawed color
contains dissolved chemicals eg) glucose
contains plasma, reedblod cells and whiteblood cells
transports heat energy around the body
Red Blood Cells
biconcave shap = disc shape, carries oxygen , allows eeasy mmovemen around the body
No Nucleus, more room for oxygen
contains haemoglobin red pigment = contains oxygen
small + flexible= to fit inside small blood capilaries
large number
carries both oxygenated + dexoygenated
Types of blood
red blood = in the bone marrow, 120 days, no nucelus , oxygen
phagocytes = in the bone marrow, 6-16 days , lobed, bacteria
lymphocytes = in the bone marrow, few days , yes, destroys pathogen
Mechanism of a heartbeat
- blood enters atria, vlaves are closed
- wall of atria contract, rise in blood pressure, forces open valves into ventricels
- ventricles are full, contracct, cannont return to atria
- ventricles continue + pressure increases, blood is ejected in to the pulmonary+ aorta atery and carries to lungs and body
- higher presure means aorta closes + valves close, aorta starts to refil with blood, proces restarts
Heart
features
made of cardiacmuscle, its a muscular pump, 4 chambers, contains valves
Top chamber = right artium, left atrium
Bottom Chamber = right ventricle, left ventricle
right has a tricuspid valves, thinner muscle as pressure is low
left has a bicuspid valve, higher pressure as to pump the blood
