Description of Assessment Task (mapped to ACs)
 

Information sheet

 

You must produce an information sheet that is no longer than 3000 words which details the following two pathways:

 

  1. Oxygen from the atmosphere to a muscle cell.
  2. Carbon dioxide from a muscle cell to the atmosphere.

 

In a separate section, you must also detail the formation of tissue fluid and the structure and function of the lymphatic system.

 

You must demonstrate an understanding of the following:

 

§  The different structures of the respiratory system and how they function to achieve the purpose of delivering oxygen or removing carbon dioxide (AC 2.1).

 

§  The structure of the alveolus and how this is designed to achieve the function of efficient gas exchange (AC 2.2).

 

§  How ventilation is controlled by the nervous system and how ventilation is altered during exercise to maintain homeostasis (AC 2.3).

 

§  The different types of blood vessel in the body and how the heart pumps blood through the pulmonary and systemic circulations (AC 3.1).

 

 

§  The structures of the heart, the phases of the cardiac cycle and how this is initiated and controlled by electrical activity (AC 3.2).

 

§  The composition of blood and the three different types of blood cells (AC 3.3).

 

§  The structure and function of the lymphatic system and the formation of tissue fluid        (AC 3.4).

 

 

Learning Outcomes Assessment Criteria
 

2. Understand the respiratory system.

 

 

2.1. Identify gross anatomical structures of

the respiratory system and relate to

function.

2.2. Explain how the microscopic structure of

an alveolus relates to its function.

2.3. Investigate changes in ventilation at rest

and after exercise, and relate to

homeostasis.

 

 

3. Understand the circulatory system.

 

 

3.1. Compare and contrast types of blood

vessel and explain the mammalian

double circulation.

3.2. Investigate the structure of the

mammalian heart, analyse the cardiac

cycle and explain how it is initiated and

controlled by the heart’s electrical

activity.

3.3. Describe the composition of blood and

explain the function of red blood cells,

white blood cells and platelets.

3.4. Explain the formation of tissue fluid and

the structure and function of the

lymphatic system.

What this means for this assignment

 

For GD2: You must demonstrate that you fully understand how each part of respiratory and cardiovascular system operates to achieve the delivery of oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide. When discussing what happens at different stages through the respective systems, the significance of why it is taking place must be clear. Where appropriate, you must provide numerous, detailed examples to support the information that you are providing.

 

For GD5: You must make sure that your spelling and punctuation is correct throughout your assignment. Your choice of language must reflect the correct scientific terminology used in the literature.

 

For GD7: You must structure your work so that the information you are presenting is concise. Where a sequence of information is being presented, it should be structured so that each section follows on from the previous section in a logical manner and is easy for the reader to understand. Make sure you divide your work into paragraphs and use appropriate diagrams where necessary. Reference to any diagrams used should be made in the text.
