CVS merit work


Task 2 (M3)
Explain the requirement for a transport system in the body and how this is achieved-Include;
Transport (gases, nutrients, waste products, hormones, heat)
Defence
Regulation (temperature, pH, water content)
Lymphatic System

For example;
How does the body deal with the constant leakage of fluid from the cells?
Which part of the transport system ensures this intracellular fluid is returned?
Remember an annotated diagram is always a good thing

CVS Pass work

You need to hand in:

for each of the 3 practicals:
  • your results table
  • your graph
  • your conclusion

your conclusions must include:
  1. What do your results show?
  2. Can you explain why your results occurred?
  3. Show knowledge of the structure & function of the cardiovascular system
  4. Correctly interpret results.
  5. Give reasons for any anomalous results

Vasodilation- blood vessels dilate close to the skin to lose heat
Vasocontriction- blood vessels constrict close to the skin to retain heat

vasoconcstriction & dilation stuff

·         Explain the requirement for a transport system in the body and how this is achieved
Include;
a)       Transport (gases, nutrients, waste products, hormones, heat)
b)       Defence
c)       Regulation (temperature, pH, water content)
d)       Lymphatic System
