Regular revision throughout the year is essential. It’s vital you keep a track of what you
understand and what you don’t understand. This booklet is designed to help you do this.
Use the following key to note how well you understand the work after your revision. Put the
letter R, A or G in the table. If you place an R or an A then you should make a note of what
you are struggling with and the end of this book under the relevant section and seek help
with this.
Key
R = Red. I am not confident about my knowledge and understanding
A = Amber. I am fairly confident about my knowledge and understanding
G = green. I am very confident about my knowledge and understanding

The following points are what you need to know, revise an
answer questions on.
Animal Transport
1. Can you describe the circulatory system of an insect, earthworm, fish and a mammal?
2. Can you describe a double and single circulatory system?
3. Can you explain the advantages of a closed double circulatory system
, 4. Can you label a diagram of the mammalian heart?
5. Can you describe and explain the cardiac cycle?
6. Can you interpret a graph of pressure changes showing the cardiac cycle?
7. Can you describe the electrical activity of the heart?
8. Can you interpret ECG traces?
9. Can you calculate heart rate from ECG graphs and graphs that show pressure changes during the card
cycle?
10. Can you calculate cardiac output?
11. Can you describe the structure of an artery, vein, capillary, arteriole and a venule?
12. Can you compare the structure of the blood vessels listed in point 11?
13. Can you label an artery and a vein from microscope images?

circulatory system of a mammal?
15. Can you describe and explain the formation of tissue fluid?
16. Can you explain the mechanisms that aid the return of blood to the heart?
17. Can you apply your understanding of animal transport to unfamiliar scenarios?
