Q

Pressure change graph 2nd stage

A

Ventricle pressure steeply increases to be a lot higher than atria. So AV valve closes to prevent backflow as ventricles have higher pressure
Aorta pressure still higher than ventricle so semi lunar valve open so blood can leave
The ventricular systole and atria relax.

Q

Info about 4 intersection on pressure graph:

A

Ventricular systole. Ventricle pressure greater due to contraction than atria so AV valves close to prevent backflow
Ventricular pressure is higher than aorta pressure so semi lunar valve open so blood can leave
Ventricular pressure decreases- diastole. Aorta pressure is higher than ventricle so sem lunar valves close to prevent backflow
Atria pressure higher than ventricular valves so av valves open so blood can flow to ventricles

Q

Open circulatory system-

A

heart pumps fluid called haemolymph through short vessels and into a cavity (haemocel) which surrounds the organs. In the haemocoel, the fluid covers organs enabling diffusion.
When heart relaxes, blood is sucked back via ostia (pores)

Q

Closed circulatory system-

A

blood is always enclosed within vessels. From the heart, blood is pumped through progressively smaller vessels to generate high blood pressure. In smallest vessels (capillaries) substances diffuse in and out of the blood and into cells. Blood returns to heart via progressively larger vessels.

Q

Advantages of double circulatory system-

A

different blood do not mix
Manage pressure of blood flow- oxygenated blood from lungs is delivered quickly at high pressure so it reaches all cells. Blood through lungs is lower pressure to prevent damaging capillaries in alveoli, slower so more time for gas exchange

25
Single and closed circulatory system in fish description:
Deoxygenated Blood from the body enters heart and pumped to gills where it’s oxygenated and goes to cells without returning to heart. Very inefficient as oxygen is supplied at a slow rate and low pressure. Heart only has 1 atrium and ventricle.
26
Amphibian circulation system .
Two atria and 1 ventricle. Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix in ventricle. Forked aorta (blood can go either way) less efficient supply of oxygen to cells
27
Basics of mammalian circulatory system
Double so blood goes to heart twice for each full circuit. Blood from body enters right side of heart and is pumped to lungs where it’s oxygenated and return to left heart to be pumped to the body. Efficient
28
Meaning of pulmonary-
blood pumped to lungs for oxygenation (right side
29
Cardiac muscle:
Striped, adjacent muscle interconnect via plasma membranes and allow electrical excitation to pass easily. myogenic - contract on its own without stimulation High conductivity of muscle Never fatigues
30
WHEN do atrioventricular valves open and close
open= pressure is higher in atria close= pressure sis higher in ventricles
31
When do semi lunar valves open and close
open= pressure is higher in ventricles Close- pressure is higher in arteries
32
3 stages in cardiac cycle
Atrial systole- blood returns to heart, atria fill up and higher pressure of blood pushes atrioventricular valves open. Both atria CONTRACT to force blood into ventricles. Ventricular systole- short delay.AV valves close and semi lunar valves open in both arteries. ventricles contract to push blood up and out through arteries. Diastole- atria + ventricles relax, semi lunar valves close and blood return to atria via pulmonary vein and vena cava. Increases pressure in atria
33
systole definition
contraction
34
Cardiac output=
heart rate x stroke volume
35
what does aorta do
leaves left ventricle carrying oxygenated blood to body at high pressure
36
what does sinoatrial node do
in right atrium, cells depolarise so excitation wave spreads over the atria. So atria contract
37
what does atrioventricular node do
purkyne tissue carries wave down septum, excitation waves spreads up walls of ventricle
38
Controlling cardiac cycle FULL
sinoatrial node- top of right atrium near vena cava and generates electrical excitation at regular intervals so atria contract. Rhythm can be changed by hormones and nervous impulses. When atria contract excitation doesn't pass directly to ventricles as it is blocked by non conductive collagen (annulus fibrosis) AV node- between atria. Connected to purkyne fibres (conducting fibres). Detects excitation passive over atria. After short delay, AVN transmits excitation down purkyne fibres. Causing ventricles contract from apex upwards
39
what is atrioventricular node
only gap in the annulus fibrosus so only route for cardiac impulse transmission. Why is there a short delay for AVN Short delay to ensure that the atria are fully emptied. So atria contract before ventricles contract
40
What is bundle of his and purkyne fibres-
impulses go along bundle of HIS (conducting fibres in septum). HIS divides in 2 branches and carries excitation into purkyne fibres that penetrate through ventricular muscles. Ventricles contract from base upwards to empty blood into arteries.
41
What do ECG’s measure-
electrical activity in the heart
42
Bradycardia-
slow resting heart rate blow 60 beats per minute
43
Tachycardia-
fast heart rate above 100 bpm
44
Atrial fibrillation-
irregular waves of electrical excitation pass over atria. So atria contract rapidly and randomly, ventricles contract less frequently.
45
Ectopic heart beat-
extra heartbeat not part of usual rhythm followed by short pause.
46
5 types of waves on ECG
P= excitation of atria (atrial depolarization) Q R S- excitation of ventricles (ventricular depolarization) T- diastole (ventricular repolarisation) T-P interval - filling time when ventricles relax and fill with blood
47
Artery structure
Thick elastic tissue- allows stretching/recoiling during high pressure Lots of smooth muscle to constrict and dilate Thick wall \Smooth endothelium- blood flow easily less friction No valves Small lumen
48
Arteriole structure
Thicker muscle walls than arteries to restrict blood flow into capillaries Thinner elastic layer in arteries Low pressure
49
What does pulmonary artery do-
carry deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to lungs
50
Vein structure
Thin elastic tissue- blood is low pressure Smooth muscle is thin Thin wall Smooth endothelium Valves to prevent backflow Large lumen - less resistance to blood flow
51
What do vena cava do-
carry deoxygenated blood from body to right atrium
52
What does pulmonary vein do-
carry oxygenated blood from lungs back to left atrium
53
Capillary structure
One cell thick Flat and thin Only made single of endothelium , no muscle or elastic- short diffusion distance quick diffusion of o2 out No valves Slow movement Gaps for fluid to pass through
54
What happens when atrioventricular valves are closed
Valves are closed to prevent backflow of blood from ventricles into artia Ventricles are contrcatingas they have high pressure
55
Describe effect of increased CO2 on blood plasma
Increases acidity so denatured protein and change active site of enzymes
56
Name blood vessel that control movement of blood to muscle and changes during exercise
Arterioles Muscles in wall relax To widen and increased blood flow
57
How do arterioles regulate blood flow to capillaries
Smooth muscle wall contracts Narrowing lumen
58
Order of tissues in artery structure
Small lumen high pressure Endothelium Muscle tissue contract Elastic fibres to stretch and recoil
59
What do capillaries link
- arterioles and venules.
60
formation of blood clot
Damage to blood vessel Exposed collagen-> active platelets Thromboplastin is enzyme then catalyses reaction of prothrombin-> thrombin needing vitamin k+ and Ca+. Thrombin then catalyses conversion of fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin. Fibrin acts as a mesh trapping blood cells= clot
61
What 2 substances do platelets release:
Serotonin- reduces blood loss Thromboplastin- enzyme helping blood clot
62
what is tissue fluid
Formed from blood. Contains water, glucose, oxygen and amino acids and bathes tissues/ cells. Transfers oxygen and glucose to tissue cells but waste molecules from these cells pass into tissue fluid then back into capillary.
63
formation of tissue fluid
Blood flows through capillaries as permeable . Some plasma, WBC leaks out and fills spaces between cells= tissue fluid. Has no red blood cells or plasma proteins as they are too big
64
Factors on whether tissue fluid moves back into vessel:
Water potential/ oncotic pressure (tendency of water to move back into blood via osmosis)- plasma proteins have osmotic effect ( low oncotic pressure in blood -3.3 kPa) higher water potential in tissue fluid surrounding capillaries -1.3kPa. Water moves from high water potential to water potential. Moves from tissue fluid to blood Hydrostatic pressure- pressure from heartbeat forces tissue fluid through leaky capillary walls
65
Value of oncotic pressure in capillaries-
-3.3 kPa
66
Definition of oncotic pressure-
tendency of water to move back into blood via osmosis
67
Formation of tissue fluid at 2 ends
Arteriol end- high hydrostatic pressure forces (water, oxygen and glucose) tissue fluid out of capillary into tissue fluid, hydrostatic pressure is higher than oncotic pressure moving in.Movement of water from high water potential to low water potential . blood plasma too big so remains in capillary Venous end- large molecules stay in capillaries and lots of H20 left reducing water potential -> water potential difference. Hydrostatic pressure is less than oncotic pressure. High oncotic pressure due to plasma proteins. So water/tissue fluid returns back to capillaries. 10% water goes into lymphs.
68
why lack of protein in blood leads to build up of tissue fluid
Higher WP in capillaries Less WP gradient So not enough water enters capillaries via osmosis
69
6 marker describe how tissue fluid is formed and how it returns to circulatory system
High hydrostatic pressure at arteriole end Forces h20 out of the capillary Large plasma protein remain in capillary Water leaving lowers water potential so water will move back into capillary Via osmosis Excess tissue fluid enters lymph system Importance of tissue fluid Immediate environment for cells + optimum conditions Exchange of material between cells and blood
70
What is lymph fluid
Fluid circulating lymphatic system. Has less oxygen and nutrients and used up in cells btu more CO2 and waste. Many lymphocytes (produced at lymph nodes) which filter bacteria by engulfing them. Protecting from infection.
71
What is oncotic pressure in tissue fluid
-1.3kPa
72
Why is there large fluctuations in blood pressure on aorta vs small arteries
Aorta is closer to heart, has elastic tissue so can stretch/recoil
73
How does heart contribute to formation of tissue fluid
Contraction of ventricles produces high hydrostatic pressure , forcing water and oxygen out of blood capillaries
74
Plasma:
Transports digested food products, nutrient molecules from storage to cells, excretory products and hormones. Maintains steady body temperature by transferring heat around the system. Buffer to pH changes
75
Erythrocytes:
Contains hemoglobin ( red pigment that carries oxygen). Formed in bone marrow and have no nucleus (more space for O2). Transport oxygen from lungs to cells. Biconcave disc (large SA:V).
76
Leucocytes:
Much bigger than erythrocytes, formed in bone marrow and defend the body against infection. All have a nucleus and colourless cytoplasm
77
Different type of leucocytes:
Granulocytes- e.g neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils Agranulocytes- monocytes, lymphocytes
78
Granulocytes-
leucocytes that have granules in cytoplasm that take up stains. Lobed nuclei
79
eosinophil-
type of granulocytes in non-specific immune system, stained red, vs parasites inflammation and allergen reaction and developing immunity
80
Monocytes-
in specific immune systems. Largest leucocytes, they can move out of blood into tissue to form macrophages which engulf pathogens via phagocytosis.
81
Agranulocytes-
leucocytes don’t have granules and unlobed DNA .
82
Platelets-
tiny fragment of large cells called megakaryocytes, which are found in bone marrow. Involved in blood clotting
83
neutrophil-
part of non-specific immune system. type of granulocytes that engulf and digest pathogen by phagocytosis. Multi lobed nuclei.
84
Function of blood:
Delivers material needed by the cells Carry away waste products Carrying hormones Defence system Distributing heat Transport Defence Formation of lymph/tissue fluid.
85
definition of atherosclerosis
hardening of arteries due to build up of plaques inside arteries.
86
What is plague + issues-
yellow fatty deposits in arteries. Can restrict blood flow
87
Development of plague/ atherosclerosis stages-
Damage to endothelial cells in artery line up-> build up of lipids Platelets form cap over fatty plague-> narrowing Any other damage forms a clot which can block whole artery-> stroke or heart attack Lumen becomes smaller, increasing BP, less blood pumped around body
88
What can cause damage to endothelial lining of arteries:
High blood pressure or tobacco smoke
89
Why does atherosclerosis happen in arteries:
Blood flows under high pressure which puts more strain on lining
90
Effects of atherosclerosis:
Aneurysm- weak, bulging area of artery due to blockages/plague. Artery may split open-> internal bleeding, Raised blood pressure: due to narrowing arteries, damage other organs e.g. blood vessels near kidney which means protein may be forced into urine . or blood vessels near retina starved of oxygen can cause blind Heart disease- e.g. angina- plague builds up in coronary arteries reducing blood flow to heart, lack of oxygen so heart does anaerobic respiration. Or myocardial infarction (heart attack)- one branch of coronary artery is completely blocked by clot (called thrombosis in a vessel) so part of heart has no o2. Blood clot form via clotting cascade when arteries are damaged via high BP and becomes stiff. Stroke- interruption of blood supply to brian due to blockage (clot)
91
Lifestyle risk factors for atherosclerosis:
Smoking- chemicals in tobacco smoke damage artery lining, making plague build up more likely, narrow arteries, high Bp Exercise- exercise reduces risk as lower BP and cholesterol, reducing formation of plagues Weight- linking to type 2 diabetes Stress- releases cytokines which triggers inflammatory response in blood vessels Diet- balances of lipoproteins in blood. Low density saturated fats) bind to membranes and lead to more cholesterol. High density lipoproteins (unsaturated fat) removes cholesterol from fatty plagues reducing risk
92
Unchangeable risk factors for atheroscelrosis:
Genes Age- arteries lose elasticity Gender male more likely as oestrogen reduced plague build up
93
Explain how a red blood cell with the big diameter enables it to carry out its functions in transporting gases in the blood. 4 marks
low volume to be flatter higher surface area- faster absorption of O2 biconcave- curved haemoglobin to bind to o2
94
Give two substances that are carried in the haemolymph for the growth of an insect
glucose amino acids
95
Explain why people with an atrioventricular valve that leaks find exercise difficult.
when ventricles contract, high pressure in atria because blood flows back to atria lower pressure in atria less oxygenated blood to muscles less respiration
96
how to calucalte heart rate
60/time
97
what does it mean if there are more unsaturated lipids
less cholesterol
98
Compare and contrast the transport of fluid in a vein with its transport in a lymph vessel.
both have valves and low pressure faster flow in veins
99
what valves are open in diastole
AV semi lunar closed
99
define myogenic 2 marks
stimulation generated from within (muscle) ; this results in depolarisation
100
high density lipoproteins
good reduce cholesterol unsaturated
101
describe semi lunar valve 3 marks
at base of aorta prevent backflow during atrial systole
102
Describe two changes that this woman may be able to make to her lifestyle, to reduce her risk of dying from CVD. Explain how each change would reduce the risk.
diet reduced cholesterol lower BP diet should have reduced saturated fat reduces blood {cholesterol increase the amount of exercise as weight decreases idea that if the woman smoked as smoking reduced o2 uptake and increases bP
103
what does atherosclerosis lead to
inflammatory response build up of cholesterol and platelets
104
Explain how arterioles are better adapted than arteries to allow the blood to flow into an individual organ
relaxation of smooth muscle causes vasodilation (of the lumen) controls, blood flow to capillaries 3 pressure of blood in artery is higher ✓ as blood flows from the artery to the arteriole, the pressure falls ✓ capillary will not rupture
105
what generates oncotic pressure in tissue fluid
plasma proteins
106
compare and contrast transport of tissue fluid in vein vs lymph vessel
both have veins and low pressure veins have faster flow
107
Describe what happens to the tissue fluid that is not reabsorbed into the blood capillary
tissue fluid enters the lymphatic system) (1) * lymph returns to blood}
108
Explain the differences between blood plasma and tissue fluid
blood plasma has higher protein content as are too large to pass out * tissue fluid has less (dissolved) oxygen as it has {diffused into cells /
109
How diet affects CVD 4 marks
Higher salt intake leads to higher blood pressure which damages endothelium High intake or cholesterol LDL linked to plague formation
110
Describe how the sinoatrial node (SAN) is involved in bringing about a change in heart rate as the level of activity increases.
more { stimulation of the SAN more impulses to the SAN  (causing) more frequent waves of depolarisation from the SAN (to the atria) (1)  leading to more frequent { contraction of atria
111
Explain how pressure differences in the heart ensure efficient pumping of the blood into the arteries.
higher pressure in ventricles than atria forces av valves to close and semi lunar to open so blood -> artery
112
explain why lack of protein in diet leads to build up of tissue fluid
less protein in blood plasma so less fluid enters the blood lower oncotic pressure
113
3 marker using graph explain how tissue fluid is formed by capillary
tissue fluid leaves capillary through pores as hydrostatic pressure is higher than oncotic pressure plasma proteins are too large so remain in blood
114
adaptations of frog circulatory system
low metabolic rate so less oxygen mixing of blood in ventricle is not limiting blood goes to 2 exchange surfaces moist skin allows co2 to DISSOLVE
115
4 marker sequence of stimulation in heart
SAN- pacemaker impulse causes atria to contract AVN delays so atria fully empty impulse carried to purkyne fibres via bundle of his ventricles contract from apex up
