what is the role of the coronary arteries?
supplies the cardiac muscle with oxygen and glucose
1 of 29
what is systole?
contraction
2 of 29
what is diastole?
relaxation
3 of 29
what is the route of the systemic circuit?
left side of the heart -> body -> back to the heart
4 of 29
wha is the route of the pulmonary circuit?
right side of the heart -> lungs -> back to the heart
5 of 29
describe the structure of the arteries
narrow lumen, thick elastic fibres, thick smooth muscle
6 of 29
describe the structure of the veins
wide lumen, thin elastic fibres, thick smooth muscle
7 of 29
describe the structure of the capillaries
wide lumen, no elastic fibres, no smooth muscle
8 of 29
what is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
9 of 29
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration?
glucose -> lactic acid + 2ATP
10 of 29
what is the word equation for combustion?
fuel + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + heat + water + light
11 of 29
compare the reactions of combustion and respiration
similarities- oxygen as reactants, release carbon dioxide, both use fuels. Differences - ATP released in aerobic, fuels are different.
12 of 29
describe the effect of exercise on the body
increase in heart and breathing rate. increase in cardiac output. need more oxygen and glucose to release more carbon dioxide.
13 of 29
what are the uses of ATP in the body?
muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, active transport, cell division
14 of 29
what are blood counts used for?
to identify if theres any infections or conditions such as cancer or anaemia
15 of 29
what is the role of red blood cells?
carry and transport oxygen
16 of 29
what is anaemia?
someone having a blood-haemoglobin concentration lower than normal
17 of 29
why may people with anaemia feel fatigue?
too few red blood cells are being produced and some of those produced are destroyed by blood loss taking place
18 of 29
why would diabetics need to check their blood sugar levels?
to regulate the blood-glucose concentration so they know the appropriate insulin to inject
19 of 29
what are the symptoms of asthma?
shortness of breath, fatigue, wheezing
20 of 29
which equipment is used to monitor the effectiveness of asthma treatment?
a peak flow test and spirometry measures the breathing rate and tidal volume data
21 of 29
where does aerobic respiration take place?
in the muscle cells in the presence of oxygen
22 of 29
where does anaerobic respiration take place?
in the muscle cells in the absence of oxygen
23 of 29
how does the breathing system and circulatory system work together in order for respiration to occur?
the breathing system takes in oxygen and the circulatory system delivers oxygen to respiring cells and takes carbon dioxide away from the cell to be released from the lungs
24 of 29
what does cyclic AMP do?
activates the enzymes associated with the biochemical pathways associated with that hormone
25 of 29
what does ELISA stand for?
enzyme linked immunosorbent assay
26 of 29
what things may affect blood pressure readings?
age, stress, weight, hypertension
27 of 29
what is ECG?
electrocardiogram
28 of 29
what is the role of the ECG?
it measures the electrical conductivity (activity of the heart)
