Leaves are thin and flat giving them a large surface

Artificial breathing
Positive pressure – pushing the air in.
Benefits: Not invasive (just a mask),
can aid the paralysed for years
and can be used during surgery.
Can be used at home!
Negative pressure – a vacuum is created outside
the body moving the chest up and causing air to be
drawn in.

Benefits: Will keep you alive.
Drawbacks: Very restricting and
out dated. Must stay in hospital.

Osmosis
Diaphragm
Breathing in (inhalation)
Active Transport
Diaphragm contracts flattens
Intercostal muscles (Muscles around the ribs)
contract – moving ribs up and out
This is when some thing
moves against the
concentration gradient.
Low to High!
Volume of lungs increases – air moves in
WATER diffusing from where it is a lot
of it to where there is less of it.
Water moved up a plant stem
from cell to cell by osmosis.
Lots of water keeps the cell rigid.

CO2 absorbed in
photosynthesis is equal to
CO2 released during
burning. No extra CO2 is
added to the atmosphere.
Pesticides (to kill pests) and Herbicides (to kill weeds) can pollute land. They can
also enter food chains and dangerous levels of toxins build up on top producers.
Veins go away from your heart
Remember: You have a
double circulatory system.
Blood goes through your
heart twice during one circuit.
Don’t forget!
Cows and rice fields
have increased the
levels of methane
(a greenhouse gas).

•Changes in migration
and distribution of
organisms.
The air becomes polluted as
un-burnt fuels are released
causing global dimming.

Recent years have seen
massive population growth
More food and better healthcare
Fertilisers, chemicals and untreated waste
Stents can open up narrow
or blocked arteries.
Under high pressure valves can
become damage allowing blood
to flow backwards.
(as wood is burnt and decays)
Eutrophication – Fertilisers are washed
Arteries go toward your heart
We can replace valves with
biological animals valves but
these only last about 15 years.
Deforestation:
Sulphur dioxide and
nitrogen oxide pollution
from factories forms acid
rain. This damages tress and
makes lakes to acidic for life.
Blockages in blood vessels can
stop oxygen reaching the heart.
This can happen due to age or a
bad diet.
Step 1: Find a doctor!
Step 2: Get a STENT!
The blood coming from
the lungs and going to
the body is oxygenated.
Increasing amounts of greenhouse gases make it harder for the heat
to escape the atmosphere. Increasing the temperature of the planet.
This could lead to:
•Changes in weather
and flooding
•Rising in sea levels
How to remove a
blockage…
Capillaries link arteries and veins.
The have thin walls so oxygen and glucose
can diffuse out to cells and waste and CO2
can diffuse back from cells.
Blood plasma (liquid)
carries dissolved food,
CO2 and urea.
White Blood cells
Help defend the body
against disease
Red Blood cells
carry oxygen
Platelets help with
clotting (think scabs)
Remember: Red blood cells are biconcave
discs giving them a bigger surface area and
have no nucleus to fit in more haemoglobin.
This lets them carry more oxygen as
oxyhaemoglobin.

Artificial Blood: Plasma & Saline, PFCs and Haemoglobin-based products Advantages: Readily available, doesn’t have to be stored in a fridge, will work with any blood type.
Disadvantages: Expensive! Doesn’t carry oxygen as well as real blood, doesn’t always mix with real blood, is broken down quickly by the body and can cause side effects.
