  • liver roles
    remove excess protein
    deamination
    break down lactic acid
  • liver roles
    remove excess protein deamination
    break down lactic acid
    convert unused glucose to glycogen and stores
  • how glucose moved
    absorbed by diffusion into bloodstream
    blood delivers to muscle in capillaires
  • breathing rate = vol of breath increases , bring in more oxygen less carbon dioxide
  • heart rate increase
    supply muscles extra oxygen and glucose removes co2
  • lactic acid build up = cramps
    glycogen low in muscles, more glucose used - tired, fatigued
  • blood flow to muscles transports lactic acid to liver where converted back to glucose
  • cardiovascular diease
    damages lining of arteries - build up fatty material - heart attack or stroke
    inhalation co2 = reduce o2 levels carried by blood
    nicotine = increased heart rate, puts strain on heart
  • lung disease
    tobacco
    chemicals stop cilia in trachea and bronchi working
    no mucus, dirt, bacteria moved from lungs . airways swollen ,mucus build up
    breathless - more difficult to obtain oxygen reuqired
  • lung cancer

    carcinogens in tar case cancer ny mutating cells
  • alcohol effects on liver (liver rest for breakdown alcohol)
    damages , fats build up, alcohol hepatitis - death
    cirrhosis of liver - scarred cant function
  • alcohol on brain
    not removed at liver - travels to Brian
    brain shrinkage , memory problems
  • bypass surgery
    removes blocked arteries
    used where stents cant help
    major surgery
    anasethetuf
    risk of dying/heart attack
  • coronary heart disease
    lead to heart attack - no 02 and glucose reach heart muscles to beat
    prevent by ;
    low fat diet
    to reduce cholesterol
  • carbohydrate produced and acts
    salivary glands
    pancreas
    mouth
    small intestine
  • protease produced and acts
    stomach
    pancreas
    small intestine
    stomach
    small intestine
  • lipase produced and acts
    pancreas
    small intestine
    small intestine
  • vascular tissue = xylem transport water to leaf
    phloem transport glucose to other parts
