Blood
Blood is liquid held in our blood vessels
It consists of:
Plasma: watery fluid containing dissolved oxygen,
carbon dioxide, salt, glucose, fatty acids, amino acids,
hormones and plasma proteins (proteins made in the
liver)
Cells including red blood cells (erythrocytes) white
blood cells (leucocytes) and platelets
Tissue Fluid
Similar to blood but does not contain most of the
cells found in blood or any plasma proteins
Role is to transport oxygen and nutrients from the
blood to the cells and to carry carbon dioxide and
other wastes back to the blood
Task
Using Biology 1 p77-78, explain what
tissue fluid is and how it is formed

Carriage of Oxygen
describe the role of haemoglobin in
carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide;
describe and explain the significance
of the dissociation curves of adult
oxyhaemoglobin at different carbon
dioxide levels (the Bohr effect);
explain the significance of the different
affinities of fetal haemoglobin and
adult haemoglobin for oxygen.
Task
Using Biology 1 p80-84, produce a
revision box for each of the following:
Haemoglobin dissociation curve
Carbon dioxide transport in the blood
The Bohr shift
Fetal Haemoglobin
You are limited to one piece of A3 paperyou will need to read the information,
decide what is important, and include
it in the box, highlighting key terms
Fetal Haemoglobin
