Resumo de Recurso
Biology B2
Balancing water
correct level for cell activity
kidneys help balance substances in the body
filter out small molecules like water, sugar, salt and waste
reabsorb various things
whatever isn't is then made urine which is excreted by bladder
Heart and circulatory
Arteries
Carry blood away from the heart to body cells
High pressure so thick, strong and elastic walls are used
Veins
Carry blood back to the heart
Lower pressure so thinner walls
Bigger lumen to help blood flow more easily
Capillaries
carry blood really close to every cell
thin wall so substances can diffuse in and out
very small lumen
Drug Trials
Tested in a lab (1st)
Tested on human cells
cannot recreate the conditions of a human body
Tested on live mammals to check for harmful substances
stopped if drug fails or is too harmful
tested on humans (2nd)
tested on healthy people first to check for side effects
Placebos are used (fake drugs)
blind trials, double-blind and open-label trials
Antimicrobials
chemicals that inhibit the growth of microrganisms or kill them
EG - Antibiotics/Penicillin
important to finish entire course
increases risk of antibiotic resistance bacteria coming back
Microorgasnisms can become resitant (they evolve)
random mutation in their DNA
Diseases
Bacteria, Virus and Fungi
Reproduces quickly - making copies of themselves
Need warm, moist conditions like intestines and nutrients
Need other cells to reproduce
Makes copies of themselves
Immune System
White Blood Cells
Located the foreign microorganism
Digests it and then memories it in case it comes back
White blood cell divides to produce more antigens so it can fight the infection
Antibodies help locate the foreign cell and mark it
Vaccinations
Injecting a dead or inactive microorganism
Body can produce antibodies to attack them and create antigens (memory cells)
If it appears again, the body can fight it off quicker
Less chance of epidemics spreading if more of the population is vaccinated
