Thickness of right atrium & right ventricle

1) Right atrium has less muscle

2) Right atrium pumps blood to right ventricle

3) Right ventricle pumps blood to lungs

Explain how the Structure of an Artery is Related

Elastic Fibres: allow stretching to accommodate higher pressure      

Folded Endothelium: allow stretching to accommodate higher pressure

(Smooth) Muscle: muscle can contract / exert pressure       

Smooth lining / Endothelium: reduce friction / resistance to blood flow                     

Narrow Lumen: maintain (high) blood pressure

Collagen:  avoids {rupture / damage

Explain the benefit of statins (2)

  • Lower blood cholesterol
  • Inhibition of cholesterol synthesis in liver
  • Reduce risk of CVD

Effect of Temperature on Cell Membranes (3)

  •  Increased kinetic energy = increases movement of molecules
  • Phospholipids moving
  • (Membrane) proteins denature
  • More denaturation at higher temperatures / above 40  C 
  •  Pigment can escape from the cell when the membrane is disrupted

Permiability of Beetroot Practical Procedure

  • Standardise betroot tissue {source & size}
  • Rinse beetroot
  • Use waterbath to maintain temperature
  • Repeats at each temperature between 20-90C
  • Calibration /zeroing  of colorimeter
