- Body Systems
- Blood
- Platelets
- Small pieces of cell which clot
blood at the wound
- The platelets bind together with
strands of proteins call Fibrin
- This heals the wound and
prevents further blood loss
- White Blood
Cells
- Ingests
microbes
- Deals with
infections
- Red Blood
Cells
- Contain
Haemoglobin
- Made of iron
- A reversable
reaction
- Oxyhaemoglobin is formed when
bonded to 4 oxygen molecules
- Have no
nucleus
- Plasma
- A liquid which
transports soluble
substances
- Salts and hormones are
dissolved in plasma
- Carries heat energy
around the body
- Lungs
- Gas
Exchange
- Alveoli
- Heart
- Valves
- 4
Chambers
- Entry and exit of the
blood
- Enzymes....
- ....become denatured and don't die
- ....work best at one particular pH
and Temperature. This is their optimum
- ....are a biological catalyst
- ....are affected by 6 factors...
- Pressure
- Surface area
- Substance Concentration
- Enzyme Concentration
- Temperature
- pH
- Plants
- Organs and Tissue
- Plants and Leaves
- Stoma
- Transportation
happens through...
- Xylem (Larger)
- Phloem (Smaller)
- Roots
- Transpiration
- Active Transport
- Health
- Cancer
- Tumors
- Mallignant
- Spread around the body in
the bloodstream
- Can get into healthy tissue and
form secondary tumors
- They are dangerous,
cancerous and can be fatal
- Benign
- Masses of abnormal cells which stay in
one place and aren't normally dangerous
- Carcinogen
- A substance
capable of causing
cancer in a living
tissue
- Effects of lifestyle...
- Diet
- Excercise
- Alcohol
- Smoking
- Congenital Heart Disease
