Latent Heat Vaporisation
The latent heat vaporisation of a material is the amount of energy required to change 1kg of the material by from liquid to gas.
1 of 17
Dipolar Molecular
It is a molecule that has an equal distribution charge of negative and positive charged electrons
2 of 17
Polar Molecule
When the molecule does not have an equal distribution of electrons in the orbit.
3 of 17
Cohesion
It is the ability similar like molecules to stick together.
EG. water is strongly cohesive, it will form hydrogen bonds.
4 of 17
Adhesion
It is the ability of unlike molecules to stick together.
EG. water will form intermolecular associations with polar and charged molecules.
5 of 17
Specific Heat Capacity
The specific heat capacity of a material is the amount of energy required to raise 1kg of the material by 1°C
6 of 17
Mass Flow
Mass flow is the movement of fluids in one direction down a pressure gradient.
7 of 17
Artery
Carries oxygenated blood to the rest of the body
8 of 17
Vein
Carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart
9 of 17
Capillary
Where substances are exchanged between cells and blood. (Metabolic rate)
10 of 17
Cardiac Cycle
One complete sequence of filling and pumping blood.
11 of 17
Atrioventricular Valves
It is the bicuspid and tricuspid valve.
12 of 17
Systole
It is the contraction in the heart.
13 of 17
Dystole
It is the relaxation in the heart.
14 of 17
Atrial Systole
It is when blood is pumped into the ventricles.
15 of 17
Ventricular systole
It is when blood is pumped into the aorta and pulmonary artery
16 of 17
Diastole
It is when the atria and ventricles relax and begin to fill with blood.
