Biology Revision: AS topic outlines for Mr Jenkins
MODULE 3a

MODULE BYB 3a - Physiology and Transport
Section
Time
12.1/2 – Mass transport & mammalian heart
see 10.4 – SA:Volume ratios
Approx. 8 ½


Learning Objectives
  • Mass transport enables the efficient transport of materials around the body.
  • Structure function of the heart.
  • Cardiac cycle related to flow through heart (diastole & systole) and pressure changes in heart & aorta.
  • Control of heartbeat via SAN, AVN & BoH.
  • Role of medulla, baro & chemoreceptors in aorta & carotid sinus in response to exercise.
  • Structure / function of blood vessels.

MODULE BYB3a - Physiology and Transport
Section
Time
12.1/2 – exchange of materials, O2 dissociation control of ventilation and formation of tissue fluid Approx. 5 ½


Learning Objectives
  • Whats in blood and where things are exchanged.
  • Loading and unloading of haemoglobin on an O2 dissociation curve.
  • Effects of pH and CO2 on O2 dissociation curve.
  • Role of medulla & stretch receptors in ventilation.
  • Role of medulla and receptors in lungs, aortic & carotid bodies during exercise.
  • Formation of tissue fluid, and its differences between blood, plasma and lymph.
  • Role of lymph system in returning excess tissue fluid to blood.

MODULE BYB 3a- Physiology and Transport

Section
Time
12.3 – energy & exercise
see P.E. students for help.
Approx. 4


Learning Objectives
  • Glucose, glycogen and triglycerides are sources of energy for muscles.
  • ATP is the immediate source.
  • Comparison of ATP release from aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
  • Muscle fatigue is increased lactate that dissociates to lactic acid – thus decreasing blood pH.
  • How lactate is dealt with.

MODULE BYB 3a - Physiology and Transport

Section
Time
12.4 – root structure and uptake of water & ions in transpiration stream & xerophytic adaptations Approx. 6½


Learning Objectives
  • Distibution and adaptation to function of hairs, endodermis, xylem and phloem..
  • How water passes from soil to xylem (apoplast & symplast).
  • Root pressure and cohesion-tension theories in the xylem.
  • Affect of light, humidity, air movement on transpiration rate.
  • Xerophytic adaptations.
