Learning Outcome: LO3 (Circulatory System)
To achieve level 3, address the questions correctly.
Level 3(Assessment Criterion 3.1)
Q1Arteries, capillaries and veins are different types of blood vessel in the human body.
a)Illustrating your answer with suitable diagrams, explain the commonalities and differences between arteries and veins.
b)Illustrating your answer with a suitable diagram, explainhow capillaries are different from large blood vessels, but also any features that they might share with them.
Q2Use a labelled diagram toshow the flow of blood in the mammalian circulation. Then explain why it is called ‘mammalian double circulation’.
Q3Carry out a dissection of a mammalian heart in class and take a photograph of the dissected heart. Alternatively, obtain a photograph of a dissected mammalian heart elsewhere. Paste your photograph in the space below, and label the structures that you can identify.
Q4The structure of the human heart is illustrated in the diagram below (Jones 2008). However, the labels have been replaced by numbers.
Please provide the correct names for all numbered structures.

Level 3(Assessment Criterion 3.2)
Q5The heart’s rhythmic pumping is the cardiac cycle. For each diagram below (Jones 2008), identify the stage and explain how it works underneath.
Stage (a)
Name this stage:
Explain briefly how it works, including reference to structures 4, 6, 10 and 12 from Q4:
Stage (b)
Name this stage:
Explain briefly how it works, including reference to structures 3, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13 and 14 from Q4.
Stage (c)
Name this stage:
Explain briefly how it works, including reference to structures 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 13 from Q4.
Q6Use labelled schematic diagrams and text to explain how the heart beat is initiated, propagated and regulated by electrical activity of the heart.
Level 3(Assessment Criterion 3.3)
Q7 Blood is made up of blood cells suspended in blood plasma, which is a solution of ions and molecules.
a)State the percentage of whole blood made up from plasma versus blood cells.
b)Provide a table that shows the major constituentsof blood plasma and their functions.
Q8Blood contains a number of different cell types.
a)Prepare a microscopic drawing of a human blood film, label the cell types that you can identify, and attach to this booklet.
Alternatively, correctly allocate the cell types in the photomicrograph below (Alberts 2013)with their corresponding numbers.
Erythrocyte (Red Blood cell) =
Leukocyte (Eosinophil) =
Leukocyte (Lymphocyte) =
Leukocyte (Monocyte) =
Leukocyte (Neutrophil) =
Thrombocyte (Platelet) =
[Q8 continued]
b)Explain the function of the following cell types in the blood.
Erythrocytes (red blood cells):
Leukocytes (white blood cells):
Thrombocytes (platelets):
Level 3(Assessment Criterion 3.4)
Q9 Explain briefly how tissue fluid forms.
Q10Provide a diagram of the lymphatic system, and explain how it works.
