Humans
2.57 recall the composition of the blood: red blood cells, white blood cells,platelets and plasma
2.58 understand the role of plasma in the transport of carbon dioxide,digested food,urea, hormones and heat energy
2.59 describe the adaptations of red blood cells for the transport of oxygen, including shape, structure and the presence of haemoglobin
2.60 describe how the immune system responds to disease using white blood cells, illustrated by phagocytes ingesting pathogens and lymphocytes releasing antibodies specific to the pathogen
2.61 understand that vaccination results in the manufacture of memory cells, which enable future antibody production to the pathogen to occur sooner, faster and in greater quantity
2.62 recall that platelets are involved in blood clotting, which prevents blood loss and the entry of microorganisms
2.63 describe the structure of the heart and how it functions
2.64 understand that the heart rate changes during exercise and under the influence of adrenaline
2.65 describe the structureof arteries, veins and capillaries and understand their roles
2.66 recall the general plan of the circulation system to include the blood vessels to and from the heart, the lungs, the liver and the kidneys.
