Body Systems
1. Blood
  1. Platelets
    1. Small pieces of cell which clot blood at the wound
      1. The platelets bind together with strands of proteins call Fibrin
        This heals the wound and prevents further blood loss
  2. White Blood Cells
    1. Ingests microbes
    2. Deals with infections
  3. Red Blood Cells
    1. Contain Haemoglobin
      1. Made of iron
      2. A reversable reaction
      3. Oxyhaemoglobin is formed when bonded to 4 oxygen molecules
    2. Have no nucleus
  4. Plasma
    1. A liquid which transports soluble substances
    2. Salts and hormones are dissolved in plasma
    3. Carries heat energy around the body
2. Lungs
  1. Gas Exchange
  2. Alveoli
3. Heart
  1. Valves
  2. 4 Chambers
  3. Entry and exit of the blood
Enzymes....
1. ....become denatured and don't die
2. ....work best at one particular pH and Temperature. This is their optimum
3. ....are a biological catalyst
4. ....are affected by 6 factors...
