B1 OCR
Diet and Exersize
Blood pressure has 2 readings: diastolic and systolic, in mmHg
Smoking, a high alcohol intake and a diet rich in saturated fats and salt increase blood pressure
High blood pressure can damage the brain (stroke) and kidneys
Being fit is the ability to do exersize, being healthy is being free from disease
A balanced diet will vary according to age, gender, activity, religion or personal choice
Drugs and Disease
Harmful drugs are classified as class A, B and C. Class A being the most harmful
Depressant and stimulant drugs affect the nervous system by affecting the transmission across synapses
High levels of alcohol can cause cirrhosis of the liver
Immunisation protects against certain diseases by using harmless pathogens
Changes in the lifestyle can reduce the risk of certain cancers
The mosquito is the vector that carries malaria
Plasmodium is the pathogen that causes malaria. It is a parasite and humans are its host
Homeostatis and Plant Hormones
Homeostatis is maintaining a constant internal environment
Vasodilation and vasconstriction control heat transfer from the body
Auxins are involved in phototropism (response to light) and geotropism (response to gravity)
A spinal reflex involves a receptor, sensory, relay and motor neurones and an effector
Auxins are a group of plant hormones. They cause shoot curvature by cell elongation
The hormone insulin controls blood sugar levels. It converts excess blood glucose into glycogen
Automatic systems in the body keep water, temperature and carbon dioxide levels constant
The Nervous System
Light rays are refracted as they pass through the corneas and lens
Monocular vision has a wider field of view but poorer distance judgement than binocular vision
Long and short sight is caused by the eyeball or lens being the wrong shape
The eye accommodates by altering the shape of the lens
A nerve impulse travels along the axon of a neurone
A neurotransmitter substance diffuses across a synapse, so the nerve impulse can pass to the next neurone
A spinal reflex involves a receptor, relay, sensory and motor neurone and an effector
Variation and Inheritance
Inherited disorders are cause by faulty alleles
Most faulty alleles are recessive
Dominant alleles are expressed if present, recessive alleles are expressed in the absence of a dominant allele
Alleles are different versions of the same gene
Being homozygous is having 2 identical alleles, being heterozygous is having two different alleles
Human body cells have 23 pairs of chromasomes
Sex is determined by sex chromosomes, XX in female, XY in male
