  • Key structure of the lungs include the trachea, bronchi,alveoli and the capillary network surrounding the alveoli
  • The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs
  • The left ventricle pumps blood to the body
  • Blood consists of plasma,red blood cells,white bloood cells,and platelets
  • The three types of blood vessels are arteries,veins,and capillaries
  • Aerobic resperation:glucose +oxygen->carbon dioxide +water
  • Anaerobic respiration: glucose -> lactic acid
  • Coranory heart disease is an example of a non-communicable disease
  • Fatty materials build up and blocks coronary arteries and can lead to a heart attack treatment include lifestyle changes stents and statins faulty heart valves make the heart less efficient at pumping blood .replacement valves can be mechanically or biological
  • A drug is a substance that has an effect on the body
  • There are two types of drug, medicinal and recreational
  • Cancer results from uncontrolled cell division forming tumors (beningn or malignant)
  • Scientists have identified various lifestyle and genetic risk factors for cancer
    • Energy stores:
    • Magnetic
    • Internal(thermal)
    • Chemical
    • Kinetic
    • Electrostatic
    • Elastic potential
    • Gravitational potential
    • Nuclear
    • Energy pathways:
    • Mechanical
    • Electrical
    • Heating
    • Radiation
  • Work is the measure of energy transferred when a force moves an object
  • Work done(J)=force(N) × distance(m)
  • Kinetic energy(J) =0.5 × mass(kg) × speed(m/s)²
  • Gravitational potential energy (J) =mass(kg) × gravitational field strength (N/kg) × height(m)
  • Power(W) =Energy transferred (J) ÷ time(s)
  • Non renewable energy resources: fossil fuels (coal,oil nd gas),nuclear
  • Renewable energy resources: bio-fuel ,wind ,hydroelectricity ,geothermal , th tides,the sun and water waves
  • The national grid is a system of cab,es and transformers linking power stations to consumers
  • Step-up transformers are used to increase the potential difference and increases effciency
  • The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area
  • A direct current (D.C) flows in the same direction. An alternating current (A.C)is constantly changing direction
  • Mains electricity is an AC, frequency of 50 Hz and potential difference of 230V
  • Brown live wire carries current to the appliappliance . Blue neutral wire completes the circuit . Yellow and green earth wire can carry current safely if a fault develops
  • The fuse breaks the circuit if a fault in an appliance causes too much current to flow
  • Circuit symbols
  • Electric power is the rate at which energy is transferred by an electric pathway
  • Power(W)= current(A) × potential difference(V)
