QUIZ QUESTION: In an example of inflammation-mediated antibody damage to cells, Ig binds to self antigen on epithelial cells → complement binds Ig and is activated → pro inflammatory fragments of complement proteins are produced → the fragments bind to vessel walls → neutrophils move out of vessels → neutrophils bind to ____________ via receptors → neutrophils are triggered to release granules that damage cells. 1. complement proteins 2. Ig Fc portion 3. infected cells 4. sel...

What is Starling's Law of Capillary forces? How does this explain why a nutritionally deficient child would have edema? - ANSWER Starling's Law describes how fluids move across the capillary membrane. There are two major opposing forces that act to balance each other, hydrostatic pressure (pushing water out of the capillaries) and osmotic pressure (including oncontic pressure, which pushes fluid into the capillaries). Both electrolytes and proteins (oncontic pressure) in the blood affe...

3 Types of blood vessels: - Arteries: carry blood away from the heart Veins: carry blood towards the heart Capillaries: Very tiny branches of blood vessels that branch into bodily tissues a mechanism for explaining gene x environment interactions - Epigenetics A reason why experiments must be replicated: - Biases and confounds are still possible even with statistically significant data Alleles - one of two or more different forms of a gene combination is what creates the outward appearanc...

AQA GCSE Biology Paper 2 Graded A+ What is homeostasis? ️The maintenance of a constant internal environment. What is a stimulus? ️A change in your environment than requires a response. e.g Light, sound, touch, pressure, pain, chemical or temperature. What do the receptors do? ️Detect the stimulus or change in environment. What happens after the receptors? ️Receptors send messages to the CNS via the sensory neurone. What makes up the central nervous system? ️The brain or spi...
