Q1A. Correctly label the diagram of the heart below then, using blue and red pencil/ink, draw in the blood
flow:
Q1B
In the diagram below which describes the electrical events of the cardiac cycle, describe what is happening at
the times labelled
b. Leaky capillaries
Referencing hydrostatic and osmotic pressure and movement across capillary membranes, explain how fluid
moves from the blood into the surrounding tissues to become interstitial fluid; how interstitial fluid moves
back into the venous system and how any remaining fluid moves into the lymphatic capillaries.
^ ON FINAL TEST
Ans:
Hydrostatic pressure – pressure generated by fl. In enclosed space. In this case, it is the force exerted by blood
confined within blood vessels or heart chambers.
Osmotic pressure – determined by osmotic concentration gradients, that is, the difference in the solute-to-
water concentrations in the blood and tissue fl.
Thus, hydrostatic pressure forces fl. Out of the capillary, osmotic pressure draws fl back in.
Q3. For the macrophages in the lymph nodes to have sufficient time to scan the lymph, passage of lymph
through the lymph node needs to slow down. How does this occur?
- There are more afferent lymp vessels than efferent lymp vessles, causing lymp to stagnate somewhat.
Q4. (a) Draw a monocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte and eosinophil showing the correct nuclear shape, granules
(if present) and other morphological features.
Neutrophil – multi lobed nucleus (3-5), granular
(b) Which of these white blood cells are the most common in the circulating blood?
(c) Which one of these white blood cells would be found in high levels in a person’s blood during a viral
illness, such as influenza?
(d) Which one of these white blood cells would be found in high levels in a person’s blood during a severe
allergic response?
