Year 8 Unit 7 (Cells) & 8 (Body systems) Revision Sheet

Complete the following questions in you NOTEBOOK (Any diagram labelling or completing of tables can be completed on the sheet):

  1. Explain the role of veins and arteries in your body.
  2. Label: the inferior and superior vena cava, aorta, left and right ventricle and the left and right atrium on the attached diagram of the heart.

  1. On the above diagram, indicate in blue the passage of contain de-oxygenated blood through the heart and shade in red the passage of oxygenated blood through the heart.
  2. What is the name of the vein that carries blood to the heart?
  3. Explain why the left side of the heart is thicker than the right side of the heart.
  4. What are the scientific terms for White blood cells and Red blood cell?
  5. Explain the role of Red blood cells and the White blood cells in the body.
  6. Predict what will happen to the body if the red blood cell becomes infected by disease?
  7. Predict what will happen to the body if the white blood cell becomes infected by disease?
  8. What is the role of the excretory systems?
  9. What organs make up the excretory system?
  10. When food enters the small intestine it has a high concentration of glucose to provide the body with energy. The glucose passes through the small intestine wall (high concentration) to the blood (low concentration). What is the name given to this process?
  11. Explain how the digestive system and circulatory system work together to transport nutrients around the body.
  12. Draw a flow chart/mind map for the following systems:
  13. Reproductive systems
  14. Digestive system
  15. Excretory system
  16. Circulatory system
  17. Respiratory system
