    Blood Circulation and Transport

    The human circulatory system transports substances around the body via blood circulation. The heart pumps blood through arteries, veins, and capillaries. It has four chambers - two atria and two ventricles separated by valves to prevent backflow. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones and waste products and contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. Plants transport water and minerals through xylem via transpiration where water evaporates from leaves.

    BLOOD CIRCULATION

    AND TRANSPORT
    2.1 Transport System in Humans
    Human transport system is
    called the blood circulatory
    system which transport
    substances around the body.
    Structure of Human
    Heart
    The atria and ventricles are separated by
    valves prevent the backflow of blood from the
    ventricles to the atria.
    Real heart
    Heart picture
    video
    Function of the Heart
    To pump blood to all parts of the body
    Right side – pump deoxygenated blood to
    lungs
    Left side – pump oxygenated blood to other
    parts of the body
    Pump by contracting and relaxing its muscles.
    Left and right work in harmony (video)
    One complete contraction and relaxation called
    a heartbeat.

    2.2 Human Blood
    Contain of human blood are red blood cells,
    white blood cells, platelets and plasma.
    Plasma – 90% water & 10% dissolved
    substances
     Function: Carry dissolved substances and
    heat
    Red blood cells
     Contain pigment called haemoglobin
     Function: Transport oxygen

    White blood cells


     Function: fight infection by killing microorganism
    Platelets
     Function: Help clotting to stop bleeding
    Human blood groups
    Classified into groups A, B, AB and O.
    The blood group of donours and recipients
    must be the same or compatible, if not the
    blood will agglutinate
    A universal donour can donate blood to
    everyone
    A universal recipient can receive blood from
    anyone

    Matching the blood group of a
    donour with that of a recipient
    Donour’s Recipient’s blood group

    2.3 TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN
    PLANT
    Transpiration

    A process by which water is lost in form of


    water vapour from the surface of plant
    (stomata) into the air by evaporation.
    The cell that control the opening and closing of
    stomata are called guard cells.
    During photosynthesis, stomata usually
    open – results in the lost of water by
    transpiration
    On hot day, stomata may close to reduce the
    loss of water by transpiration


    Important Role of
    Transpiration
    Transpiration helps in the transportation of
    water and mineral salts in plants.
    During transpiration, absorbed water and
    mineral salts are suck up from the roots, up
    the stem and then to its leaves.
    The xilem : transport water and mineral
    salts from root to the leaves for
    photosynthesis and replace water lost during
    transpiration
    The phloem: transport food from the leaves
    to other parts of the plant.
    Factors affects the rate of
    transpiration
    Number of stomata, transpiration faster if it
    has a large number of stomata
    Other factors: light intensity, temperature,
    humidity and wind.
    Weight potometer can be use to estimate
    transpiration rate.
