The heart
-
-
Has four chambers

-
-
Left side of the heart has a thicker muscular wall than the right side as it pumps blood all around the body

-
-
Donated organs
-
-
Artificial hearts can be given as a temporary solution whilst waiting for a heart transplant or to allow for the heart to rest
Only temporary, increase blood clotting
-
The digestive system
Food contains three mean nutrients: carbohydrates (e.g starch), protein and lipids
These are large molecules and cannot be absorbed into the blood stream due to their size; they have to be digested
During digestion, large food molecules are broken down into small molecules so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream
Mouth
Food is chewed by the mouth, amylase in the saliva begin to digest the starch into smaller sugar molecules
-
Stomach
Contains hydrochloric acid which allows protease to be at its optimum pH; digests proteins and muscles churn the food into a liquid increasing the surface area for enzymes to digest
-
-
-
Liver
Produces bile, this neutralises stomach acid and emulsifies lipids
-
-
-
-
Products of digestion are used by the body to build new carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.

-
Breathing increases the rate of diffusion, keeps a high concentration gradient
