Structure of the capillaries


Give this one a try later!


Very narrow lumen for short diffusion distance, single layer of cells so it
can lie very close to the cells. joins the arteries and venules together,
medium pressure, large surface area




Why is a double closed circulatory system good


Give this one a try later!


Substances needed can be delivered rapidly to cells as the blood is given
an extra boost which decreases the time taken for the blood to circulate
around the whole body.

,What are the ethical issues involving using invertebrates


Give this one a try later!


unethical to cause distress or suffering to any aliving organism. they cannot
give consent and may be subjected to painful procedures. its more
accetable than using verterbrates as they are simpler organisms, they have
a less sophisticated nervous system




Structure of the arteries


Give this one a try later!


Thick walls, muscular, elastic tissue in walls, narrow lumen, no valves. No
valves as it carries blood under high pressure. Elastic tissue allows them to
recoil

Give this one a try later!


Plaque makes the arteries narrower so blood flow is restricted and the
blood pressure increases




Why is exercise done


Give this one a try later!

, Exercise uses energy so longer exercise causes more weight loss. Weight
loss depends on energy input being lower than energy output. Exercise
increases metabolism




balanced energy budget


Give this one a try later!


energy input = energy output




Treatment to reduce high blood pressure


Give this one a try later!


ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, diuretics




How can an atheroma increase the risk of thrombosis in arteries


Give this one a try later!


An atheroma can rupture the endothelium fo an artery, damaging the wall
and leaving a rough surface. This triggers thrombosis at the rupture site
