Tiffany Goh Biology SAC 3 “The Transport systems play an essential role in the survival of flowering plants and mammals” It is imperative that the organism’s cells have an ideal supply of the necessary materials to ensure its survival. At the same time‚ waste material must be removed to make room for the new material coming in and to avoid infection. Necessary substances and waste material merely move in and out of unicellular organisms by diffusion‚ osmosis or active transport due to direct

The lymphatic system is an extensive drainage network that is closely connected to both the circulatory and immune systems. It is responsible for keeping bodily fluids in balance and defends the body against infections. It is made up of a network of very small tubes known as lymphatic vessels that carry lymph‚ a colourless fluid that contains a high number of white blood cells and resembles plasma‚ throughout the body. The major parts of the lymph tissue are located in the bone marrow‚ spleen‚ thymus

job of the central nervous system is to process and send information to the peripheral nervous system. The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord and a complex network of neurons. The central nervous system is responsible for receiving‚ sending and interpreting information from the whole body. The nervous system also monitors and coordinates internal organ functions and responds to external changes as they occur. The two main organs of the central nervous system are the brain and spinal

Merit task- lymphatic system A detailed explanation as to how the lymphatic system protects the body showing use of at least 4 different types of information. It protects the body by the lymph nodes. They are hundreds of small lymph nodes clustered along the lymphatic vessels. They are bean shaped and less than 2.5cm long. Each is surrounded by a fibrous capsule. Strands of connective tissue from the capsule extend inwards and divide the node into compartments. Many reticulate fibres support

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM * Carries fluid in one direction‚ from the tissues to the circulatory system. Functions of the Lymphatic System 1. Fluid Balance * Collecting excess fluid and particulate matter from tissues and depositing them in the bloodstream. 2. Fat Absorption * Absorbs fats and other substance from the digestive tract through lymphatic vessels called lacteals located in the lining of the small intestine. * Fat enters the lacteals and pass through the lymphatic vessels

Muscle System Human Biology The human body is covered by muscles‚ made up of more than 650 of them. The purpose of the muscular system is for the body to move‚ maintain posture‚ and produce heat. There are three different types of muscles tissues; cardiac‚ smooth‚ and skeletal. There are also two types of muscles are in the body; voluntary and involuntary. The ones which we can move are the voluntary muscles; the ones which move on their own‚ like the heart‚ are involuntary muscles. When muscles

The lymphatic system The lymphatic system belongs to the circulatory system; it consists of a network of lymphatic vessels which carry around fluid which is known as lymph. These carry the fluid towards the heart in different directions. These vessels are spread out the human body. The vessels are similar to that of the circulatory systems vessels as it consists of smaller lymphatic capillaries that form vessels. Lymph fluid is when the tissue fluid is collected though the lymph capillaries. When
