Which side of the body is the heart located
Left
What is the purpose of the circulatory system?
to pump oxygenated blood around the body to organs to aid with bodily function.
What are the 4 main parts of blood?
Red Blood Cells (RBC)
White Blood Cells (WBC)
Platelets
Plasma
What does the 'N' in MRS GREN stand for?
Nutrition
Palisade cells
Root hair cells
The left side of the body represents deoxygenated blood, or oxygenated blood?
The left side of the body deals with oxygenated blood
the right side of the body deals with deoxygenated blood
How many chambers are there in the heart?
4
In Red Blood Cells (RBC's) what holds onto the oxygen?
Haemoglobin
What are the three tenets of cell theory?
All living things are made up of cells
cells are the smallest working units of all living things.
All cells come from pre-existing cells through cell division
What is the function/role of Palisade cells?
To carry out photosynthesis by absorbing sunlight and converting it into energy for the rest of the plant.
Which chamber of the heart pumps blood from the heart to the lungs?
Right ventricle
What are the chambers of the heart?
left atrium
left ventricle
right ventricle
right atrium
Name 3 other things that can be found in blood (Excluding RBC, WBC, platelets, and plasma)
Digested food
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
waste (urea)
hormones
What is the shape of a RBC?
Jam donut/ Jelly donut
Biconcave disc
What is the function of the Sperm cell, and how does it structure assist with its function?
The function of the sperm cell is to carry half of the genetic material received from the male (father) to the egg cell (mother). This cell contains a head which stores the genetic material, a mitochondria midpiece, and a tail which receives it's energy to 'swim' and move towards an egg cell from the mitochondria.
When blood gets pumped through the heart, which chamber does it go through first?
The left atrium
Blood travels AWAY from the heart using ...
Arteries.
Remember: 'A = Away'
What are the 2 main types of White Blood Cells?
Lymphocytes
Macrophages
Which lung (left or right) contains more lobes? Why?
The right lung has 3 lobes, whereas the left lung contains 2 lobes. this is because the heart occupies a portion of the left side next to the lungs.
Why does the lack of a nucleus in the structure of an RBC provide more overall functionality?
Where in the heart can you find the tricuspid valve?
Between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
If red and blue represent oxygenated and deoxygenated passages for blood (arteries and veins) How would you colour the capillaries?
You would colour arteries and veins red and blue as they each deal with oxygenated and deoxygenated blood (respectively). However, capillaries are where deoxygenated blood is oxygenated and thus, would be coloured both red and blue (~50%)
Capillaries are only one cell thick, what is the reason for this?
Bonus: What is the process which occurs her?
The process of diffusion removes the Co2 from the RBC and replaces it with O2. this process involves moving across a concentration gradient through a process called 'diffusion'.
