Study Notes
Circulatory System
- Capillaries are responsible for exchanging oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and tissues in the body.
- The heart is made up of a special type of muscle called cardiac muscle.
Heart Valves
- Valves inside the heart ensure that blood flows in one direction, preventing backflow and maintaining efficient circulation.
- The valves present between the atria and the ventricles control the flow of blood from the atria to the ventricles, preventing backflow.
Respiration
- When the body is working harder, breathing rate increases to meet the increased oxygen demand.
Cellular Exchange
- The exchange of food, gases, and excretory materials between the cells and the bloodstream occurs in the capillaries.
Plant Biology
- The exchange of gases, including water vapor, between the leaf and the atmosphere takes place through the stomata, mostly located on the lower surface of the leaf.
- The cobalt chloride paper turns pink when it comes into contact with water, indicating the presence of moisture.
- The cobalt chloride paper on the upper surface of the leaf takes longer to turn pink due to the lower concentration of stomata on the upper surface, resulting in less water evaporation.
- Faster water evaporation from the leaf occurs in conditions of high temperature, low humidity, and wind.
Heartbeat
- A heartbeat is defined as the contraction of the heart muscle, which pumps blood throughout the body.
