    1. The circulatory system transports blood around the body using blood vessels and a heart that acts as a pump with one-way valves. 2. Mammals have a double circulation where blood circulates to the lungs to pick up oxygen and then to the body tissues to deliver oxygen and nutrients. 3. A double circulation provides advantages over a single circulation by allowing for gas exchange in the lungs and transport of oxygenated blood to tissues.

    B7.

    2 Transport in mammals
    1 Describe the circulatory system as a system of blood vessels with a pump and valves to ensure one-way flow of blood
    2 Describe double circulation in terms of circulation to the lungs and circulation to the body tissues in mammals
    3 Explain the advantages of a double circulation
    4 Name and identify the structures of the mammalian heart, limited to the muscular wall, the septum, the left and right ventricles and
    atria, one-way valves and coronary arteries
    5 State that blood is pumped away from the heart into arteries and returns to the heart in veins
    6 Describe the functioning of the heart in terms of the contraction of muscles of the atria and ventricles and the action of the valves
    7 Name the main blood vessels to and from the: – heart, limited to vena cava, aorta, pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein – lungs,
    limited to the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein
    8 Describe coronary heart disease in terms of the blockage of coronary arteries and state the possible risk factors as diet, stress,
    smoking, genetic predisposition, age and gender
    9 Investigate and state the effect of physical activity on pulse rate
    10 Explain the effect of physical activity on the heart rate
    11 Describe the structure and functions of arteries, veins and capillaries
    12 Explain how the structures of arteries, veins and capillaries are adapted for their function
    13 List the components of blood as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma
    14 Identify red and white blood cells, as seen under the light microscope, on prepared slides and in diagrams and photomicrographs
    15 State the functions of the following components of blood
    Blood vessels

    • Blood is made from 4 main components:

    1. Red blood cells


    2. White blood cells
    3. Platelets
    4. Plasma
    Blood

    Identifying components of the blood


    Blood
    • Hemoglobin : picks up oxygen
    Red blood cell • Carries oxygen

    White blood • Protects the body against disease


    • Produces antibody
    cell • Carries phagocytosis

    Platelets • Involves in blood clotting

    Plasma • Transports dissolves substances such as hormones,


    antibodies, nutrients and waste substances
