fluid fills the body cells and cavities in the body →
muscles contract against the fluid ,
setting up a pressure



fluid that isn't compressible →
provides excellent support


Fluid has shape animals rely muscles in the body wall to determine their shape

incredibly flexible →
doesn't require any specialised support tissues



doesn't have any dense substances to heal quickly

Daisy's Study Notes

Hi there! I am selling my IEB matric (grade 12) as well as my grade 10 and 11 notes. All are in the form of neat, in depth hand-written digital summaries. I used these notes to to personally study for all of my assessments and matriculated with an overall average of 95%. These results placed me in the Top 5% Outstanding Achievers Category and in the Top 1% for 6 of my subjects nationally, with 8 distinctions overall. This earned me dux at my school, where I served as head girl and 2nd place across all AdvTech schools nationally. I am now studying medicine at UCT, while also providing individual peer tutoring to current high-school students. Please feel free to contact me at if you have any queries. All the best with your studying!
