Sagittal Plane Divides Right And Left
Major Body Fluid
Brain And Spinal Cord = Cerebrospinal
Joints = Synovial
Ecf Of Eyes = Aqueous Humour And Vitreous Bod
Intracellul Ar Fluid 60 % Of The Total Water In The Human Body
Located In The Cell Membrane
Contains Water, Electrolytes
Keeps Cells Functioning
Interstitial Fluid Thin Layer Of Fluid That Surrounds Body Cells
Component Of Extracellular Fluid
Contains Water Solvent, Sugars, Salts, Fatty Acids
Helps Bring Oxygen And Nutrients To Cells And Removes Waste
Plasma Component Of Extracellular Fluid
Composed Of Water, Dissolved Proteins, Ions
Carries Water, Salts, Enzymes
Takes Nutrients, Hormones And Proteins To The Parts Of The Body That Need
It
Plasma Also Removes Waste From Cells
Blood Plasma
White Blood Cells (Leukocytes) – Immunity Include Neutrophils, Basophils,
Lymphocytes, Eosinophils And Monocytes
Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) – Oxygen Transport – Contains Haemoglobin –
Average Diameter Is 6-8micrometers
Platelets (Thrombocytes) – Cell Fragments That Help Blood Clotting
Layers Of Organisational Scale
Explain The Major Themes Organising The Human Body Including
Scale, Concept Of Surface Area To Volume Ratio And Examples Of It

Explain The Main Measurements Of Blood Biochemistry – What Is The Normal And Abnormal Range. The
Relationship Between Blood Biochemistry And Physical Symptoms.
Blood Biochemistry
Blood Biochemistry Provides An Indication Of What Is Happening With The Body, When Different Tissues
Are Damages And The Damages Cells Then Release Specific Enzymes Which Detect As Abnormal Allowing
For Localisation Of The Issue.
Low Platelets = Low Blood Clotting
Low Wbc = Lower Immunity
Low Rbc = Weakness, Fatigue, Anaemia
Week 2 – Body Normal
Distinguish The Main Structures And Functions Of A Cell And Its
Main Organelles And Describe The Intracellular Components And Their Functions
Organelles Many Types Each Organelle Has A Different Shape And
Function
Cytoplasm Consists Of Cellular Contents Contains Water, Dissolved Solutes And Particles
Through Cytosol (Fluid To Keep The Cells Functioning And In Place
Portion, Icf) And Organelles
Plasma Membrane Cell Flexible Outer Surface, Helps Establish And Maintain The Appropriate
Separating The Cell’s Internal Environment For Normal
Environment From The Cellular Activities
External Environment
Mitochondria Produce Atp, Glucose And Is The Primary
Energy Source – Produce Atp By Oxidising
