This section delves into the structure and function of the heart, as well as common heart problems and their treatments. It provides valuable information for students studying the circulatory system and heart-related issues in biology.
The heart's structure is described in detail, including the roles of different chambers and blood vessels. The text explains how blood flows through the heart, emphasizing the importance of each part in maintaining circulation.
Vocabulary: Vena cava - Brings deoxygenated blood into the heart from the body.
Example: The aorta carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.
The section also covers various heart problems, focusing on coronary heart disease and its causes. It discusses treatment options such as stents, statins, and valve replacements.
Definition: Coronary heart disease - A condition where coronary arteries become narrow or blocked, reducing oxygen supply to the heart.
Highlight: Artificial hearts can be used to keep patients alive while waiting for a transplant or to allow the heart to rest.
This comprehensive overview of heart structure, function, and potential issues provides students with a thorough understanding of this crucial organ in the circulatory system.
This section explores the processes of breathing and gas exchange in both animals and plants, providing essential information for students studying gaseous exchange in biology.
The text describes the structure and function of the lungs, emphasizing their role in gas exchange. It explains how oxygen moves from the air into the blood, while carbon dioxide moves in the opposite direction.
Vocabulary: Alveoli - Tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.
Example: The percentage of oxygen in inhaled air is about 20%, while exhaled air contains approximately 16% oxygen.
The section also covers gas exchange in plants, describing the roles of different plant tissues in this process. It explains how the structure of leaves facilitates efficient gas exchange.
Definition: Stomata - Tiny pores in plant leaves that allow for gas exchange and transpiration.
Highlight: Plants have a large surface area for gas diffusion, with specialized tissues like palisade and spongy mesophyll containing chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
This comprehensive overview of breathing and gas exchange in both animals and plants provides students with a solid understanding of these crucial biological processes.
This final section focuses on plant transport systems and the process of transpiration, offering valuable insights for students studying plant biology and gaseous exchange.
The text describes the structure and function of plant tissues involved in transport, including xylem and phloem. It explains how these tissues work together to move water, minerals, and dissolved food throughout the plant.
Vocabulary: Xylem - Plant tissue made of dead cells that transport water and minerals from roots to leaves.
Example: Phloem, made of living cells, carries dissolved food from leaves to other parts of the plant.
The section concludes with an explanation of transpiration and the factors affecting it. This process is crucial for understanding water movement in plants and its role in maintaining plant structure and facilitating nutrient transport.
Definition: Transpiration - The process by which water is lost through the stomata of plant leaves.
Highlight: Factors affecting transpiration include temperature, humidity, air movement, and light intensity.
This comprehensive overview of plant transport systems and transpiration provides students with a thorough understanding of these essential processes in plant biology, complementing their knowledge of gaseous exchange and the circulatory system in animals.

This section provides an in-depth look at the 4 components of blood and their functions, as well as the structure and role of different blood vessels in the circulatory system.
The blood consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, each with specific functions. Plasma transports blood cells and other substances, while red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells form part of the body's defense system, and platelets aid in blood clotting.
Vocabulary: Plasma - A yellow liquid that transports blood cells and other substances around the body.
Example: Red blood cells have adaptations such as a biconcave shape for increased surface area and contain hemoglobin to bind oxygen efficiently.
The text also describes the three main types of blood vessels: arteries, capillaries, and veins. Each type has unique characteristics suited to its function in the circulatory system.
Definition: Arteries - Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to organs under high pressure.
Highlight: Capillaries form a vast network of tiny vessels linking arteries and veins, allowing for efficient exchange of substances between blood and cells.
This comprehensive overview of blood components and functions provides students with a solid foundation for understanding the circulatory system and its role in maintaining bodily functions.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didnโt even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as Iโm sure you too will see developments.
