how do genes chromosomes and DNA work |
1) nucleus 2) contains genetic material 3) arranged into chromosomes 4) each is a molecule of DNA 5) short length is a gene 6) different versions are alleles |
|
symptoms of Cystic fibrosis |
1) sticky and thick mucus in lungs and airways 2) affects gut and pancreas so food not digested properly 3) respiratory infections |
|
sickle cell disease symtoms |
1) red blood cells stick together blocking blood vessels 2) very tired and out of breath 3) organ damage |
|
where is water loss in the body from |
the lungs when we exhale the skin by sweating the body in urine |
|
why will your urine get pale |
on a cold day or when you're not exercising you don't sweat do you'll produce more urine which is pale because the waste is more diluted |
|
why will urine be dark |
on a hot day or when exercising you sweat so less urine which is darker as more concentrated |
|
how do we lose ions |
ions being taken into the body by food and then absorbed into the blood lost in sweat kidneys will remove the excess from the blood and get rid in urine |
|
what happens when glucose levels are too high |
insulin is secreted into the blood and liver converts glucose into glycogen so glucose level goes down |
|
what does glucogen do |
caused the conversion of glycogen to glucose |
|
how does glucagon regulate blood glucose levels |
1) the pancreas releases it when blood sugar levels fall 2) this causes the cells in the liver to turn glycogen back to glucose which is then released into the blood 3) blood sugar levels will rise |
|
how do you calculate BMI |
weight in kg divided by height in m |
|
what is type 2 |
when a persons cells respond less well to insulin so the cells are resistant to it |
|
what is type 1 |
when the pancreas doesn't produce insulin so when concentrations rise the body can't bring them down |
|
how do reflex actions happen |
1) stimulus 2) pain receptor stimulated 3) signal sent along sensory 3) signal passed to relay 4) message sent to brain 5) signal sent to motor 6) motor sends signal to effector 7) effector produces response and muscle contracts |
|
what are dendrons |
has many branches on the end called dendrites which receive impulses from receptor cells |
|
what's myelin sheath |
the axon is surrounded by a fatty layer known as the myelin sheath. This helps to protect the neurone and allow impulses to travel faster |
|

the axon is surrounded by a fatty layer known as the myelin sheath. This helps to protect the neurone and allow impulses to travel faster |
|
how does neurotransmission work |
1) electrical impulse travels along an axon. 2) triggers neuron to release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. 3) these chemicals diffuse across the synapse and bind with receptors on the. next neuron. |
