Human Body Systems and Processes: Lungs, Kidney, Circulatory System, and More

1. lungs body’s cells Human Kidney Vital for homeostasis Everything filtered from blood and then reabsorption of all the glucose, as well as the mineral ions and water needed. Active transport ensures ALL glucose is reabsorbed and diffusion makes sure mineral ions and water is reabsorbed in the right amounts Hot day with little water intake = little urine (concentrated) The Blood WHITE BLOOD CELLS PLATELETS- help blood to clot PLASMA- holds dissolved substances, CO2, waste products (e.g. urea from the kidneys) RED BLOOD CELLS- No nucleus- more room for Haemoglobin. Large surface area to absorb O2 HAEMOGLOBIN-substance which gains oxygen from the lungs to form OXYhaemoglobin. Then releases oxygen into cells. The Intestine VILLI= tiny protrusions in the intestine which help to absorb the products of digestion Use active transport + diffusion to gain as much of the valuable materials, especially sugar, as possible Adaptations of villi (AND ALVEOLI): - Have a large surface area (squashed up) - Are very close to a large network of capillaries (absorbed straight into blood stream) - Thin wall B3) Biology The Respiratory System: -O2 diffuses into your bloodstream and CO2 diffuses out. -Alveoli=large surface area, efficient blood supply, thin walls. - Inhalation = diaphragm contracts, ribs move up and out, more space in chest cavity, reduced air pressure, air drawn into lungs Keywords: Active Transport, Osmosis, Diffusion, lungs, alveoli, villi, stomata, root hair cell Sports Drinks: Contain water, ions, and glucose Replace glucose used in respiration Replace water and ions lost in sweating The Circulatory System: Circulatory system = blood vessels, heart and blood. Humans have a double circulatory system. Heart = pump. 3 main types of blood vessel: Arteries (Away from heart), veINs (INto heart) and capillaries. Valves ensure correct direction of blood flow Arteries have thick muscular & elastic walls (narrow lumen/interior). Artificial ‘stents’ can help keep arteries from narrowing Keywords: Transpiration, artery, vein, capillary, heart, red blood cells, haemoglobin, plasma, platelets, an/aerobic respiration,

2. Exchange in Plants Need osmosis in roots (for water) and diffusion near stomata (for CO2) Leaves thin + flat to increase SA for light and a waxy cuticle to prevent evaporation Root hair cells increase SA because of long, thin hairs Most minerals + ions needed taken through roots Transpiration is the loss of water by evaporation from plants. Plants lose water when they open the stomata in the leaves to let in carbon dioxide (controlled by guard cells). Transpiration happens faster in hot, dry, windy conditions. Thermoregulation: If hot: sweating (heat lost when evaporates), hairs flat, vasodilation (increase blood flow to skin, heat lost through radiation). If cold: shivering, vasoconstriction Wilting - when more water is lost than can be replaced Fermenters Microbes can be grown on a large scale using fermenters Fermenters have features such as an oxgen supply, stirrer to keep microorganisms in suspension and maintain an even temp, water-cooler jacket to remove excess heat and measuring instruments such as pH and temperature gauges Mycoprotein is produced by allowing the fungus ‘Fusarium’ to grow on sugar syrup in aerobic conditions Type I diabetes: Not enough insulin produced, insulin injected Type II: body not responsive to insulin. Diet carefully controlled. Biogas – mainly methane – produced by anaerobic fermentation of a wide range of plants and waste materials that contain carbohydrates Gets rid of waste, solves energy needs and is renewable, however hard to do it on a large scale Xylem – transports water & ions, roots to leaves & stem Phloem –transports sugars, bi-directional Blood sugar regulation: If high: pancreas releases insulin, glucose → glycogen in liver. If low: pancreas releases glucagon, glycogen → glucose Food production: Energy lost at each stage in a food chain (due to respiration, movement waste materials etc.). Improving efficiency in food production: decrease no. of stages, limit movement, control temp. Keywords: Biogas, biofuels, mycoprotein, insulin, glucagon, glucose, glycogen, vasodilation Anaerobic Respiration Your everyday muscle movements are made possible by AEROBIC respiration If heart rate is increased, blood cannot supply O2 quick enough Anaerobic respiration = incomplete breakdown of glucose, releasing less energy Glucose  Lactic Acid (+ energy) Lactic acid needs to be got rid of (by reacting with O2 to form CO2 + water) = OXYGEN DEBT Biofuels Ethanol based fuels can be produced from anaerobic fermentation of sugar cane juices by the enzyme carbohydrase. +Adv. = does’nt produce toxic gases, much cleaner and can be mixed with petrol, carbon neutral Disadv. = needs lots of space, poor countries grow cash crops instead of feeding people  starvation. Pollution: Greenhouse gases: methane, CO2 Water pollutants: fertilisers, sewage, pesticides Acid rain: sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides (cars, power stations) Human impacts: deforestation (loss of biodiversity), removal of peat lands, building Keywords: kidney, dialysis, transplant, immunosuppressant drugs, microbes, fermentation, alcohol, bacteria, lactic acid
