formed in the red bone
marrow of the:
Ribs
Sternum
Vertebrae
11. RBC are:
very small and numerous
disc-shaped (BICONCAVE)
without a nucleus
contain the red pigment HAEMOGLOBIN
function of RBC:
to transport oxygen & some carbon dioxide
12. About 2 million RBC per second
are made but production is
faster at high altitude. Why?
There is not so much oxygen in the air.
13. Average life span of a RBC: 120
days
the old and worn out RBC are broken down
in the:
liver
spleen
14. What forms from the
haemoglobin broken down?
IRON part: stored in liver
The rest of the haemoglobin molecule forms
BILE PIGMENTS
bile pigments are
excreted in bile
Gall bladder
stores bile
15. Red blood cells are
adapted to carry
oxygen:
1. biconcave disc shape offers maximum
surface area for oxygen uptake
2. haemoglobin has a high AFFINITY for oxygen
and combines with it, forming
OXYHAEMOGLOBIN
3. no nucleus = more space for haemoglobin
4. being small makes it possible for oxygen to
enter and leave the RBC quickly
18. Carbon monoxide combines more
readily with haemoglobin than
oxygen does

Pus = accumulation of WBC
+ microbes
25. Lymphocytes produce
antibodies in response to
antigens
antibodies are :
proteins
specific
antigen: material
foreign to the body e.g.
a bacterium or virus
26. Antibodies begin the process of
destruction of the microbe and
phagocytes finish the job
27. Immunity is
a natural resistance to infection due to
antibodies
28. Question: SEP, 2002
White blood cells fight microbes. The number
of white blood cells increases to eliminate the
pathogens. Phagocytes engulf and digest
harmful bacteria while lymphocytes produce
antibodies.
Briefly explain why the
presence of a large number
of white blood cells in a
blood sample, is an
indication of the presence of
an infectious disease. (3)
29. Platelets
are cell fragments without a nucleus
function :
important in blood
clotting
30. How does clotting take
place?
A clot begins to form when platelets
are damaged. Platelets release a
substance (thromboplastin /
thrombokinase).
Skin is cut.
A series of chemical reactions
occur that ends up by producing
a meshwork of FIBRIN.

73. The atria have thinner walls than
the ventricles
Thin-walled atrium
No need to build a high pressure as atria pump blood to
the ventricles just below them. Ventricles pump blood
further away so must have thicker walls to pump blood
at high pressure.
Thick-walled ventricle
74. Right ventricle has thinner
walls than left ventricle
Right ventricle pumps blood to lungs which are
near to heart but left ventricle pumps to whole
body. Thus less pressure is needed.
Right
ventricle
Left
ventricle
75. Question: SEP, 2010
Give a biological explanation for
each of the following.
Blood pressure is highest in the
arteries and lowest in the veins.
(4)
Highest blood pressure in arteries:
blood is pumped into them by
heart.
Lowest in veins: blood is far away
from heart.
76. What is a ‘stroke’?
Interruption of oxygen supply to the brain
Caused by:
A clot in an artery
in the brain
Breakage of an
artery in the brain
Causes brain cells
to be deprived
of oxygen and die
77. It takes about 1 min. for blood to
make 1 complete cycle
78. Ventricles contract
Atria relax
Ventricles relax
Atria contract
When ventricles
contract blood
moves:
out of the heart
When atria contract
blood moves:
into the
ventricles
79. Are the ventricles
in systole or in
diastole?
Systole: contraction
Diastole: relaxation
83. Question: SEP, 2011
During exercise the heart pumps out a greater
volume of blood per minute than when the
body is at rest. List TWO ways in which the
heart can increase the volume of blood
pumped out. (4)
1. Increase in heart beat rate.
2. Each beat becomes stronger.
84. Double circulation: blood passes twice
through the heart for each circuit of the
body
Pulmonary circulation:
Heart-lungs-heart
Systemic circulation:
Heart-body-heart
87. Question: SEP, 2007
A red blood cell is present in a
vein. Describe how the red blood
cell will reach the lungs. In your
answer mention the blood
vessels and the different
chambers of the heart that the
red blood cell must pass through.
(4)
The red blood cell present in a vein,
enters the vena cava. The vena cava
takes blood to the right atrium. Blood
is pumped into the right ventricle and
to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
88. Question: SEP, 2007
Describe how a red blood cell in
the lungs reaches a kidney. In
your answer mention the blood
vessels and the different
chambers of the heart that the
red blood cell must pass through.
(5)
The red blood cell leaves the lungs via
the pulmonary vein and enters the left
atrium. The blood is pumped into the
left ventricle and out of the heart via
the aorta. The red blood cell enters the
kidney via the renal artery.
89. Question: MAY, 1998
Trace the path of a molecule of
glucose from the capillaries of the
small intestine to the brain. (5)
A molecule of glucose is absorbed by the blood
in the small intestine. It moves into the liver via
the hepatic portal vein and out of it through
the hepatic vein. Glucose enters the vena cava
which takes blood to the right atrium. Blood is
pumped into the right ventricle and to the
lungs via the pulmonary artery. Blood leaves
the lungs via the pulmonary vein and enters
the left atrium. The blood is pumped into the
left ventricle and out of the heart via the aorta.
The aorta branches into many arteries and one
such artery takes glucose to the brain.
90. Question: SEP, 2010
Give a biological explanation for each of the
following.
The hepatic portal vein links two organs. (4)
The liver is connected to the gut by the hepatic
portal vein. As soon as digested food is
absorbed into the blood, it goes to the liver.
The liver removes extra amino acids by
deamination and stores excess glucose as
glycogen. Thus the liver plays a role in
homeostasis.
91. Explain why a baby born with a hole in its
heart tires very easily.
Deoxygenated blood from the right atrium flows into
the left atrium where it mixes with oxygenated blood.
The aorta carries this mixture to the muscles. The
muscles do not receive enough oxygen.
Adult heart Foetal heart
