Extended HomeworkSmoking pages 178-185 Answer sheet.TASK ARead pages 178- 9: Describe the effects of smoking on the mammalian gas exchange system, with reference to the symptoms of chronic bronchitis, emphysema (chronic obstructive lung disease) and lung cancerWhat is the mammalian exchange system (3) Trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, goblet cells, mucus, ciliaName the 3 main substances in cigarette smoke that can be harmful (3) Tar, carbon monoxide, nicotineSummarise the short term and long term effects of tar on the mammalian gas exchange system (12)TAR: short term effect: accumulates on lining of lungs and increases diffusion pathway of oxygen into blood, so blood is less oxygenated. (1) Chemicals in tar can cause an allergic reaction which causes smooth muscle to contract and so restrict air flow to alveoli (1) Tar paralyses/destroys cilia on surface of airways so they cannot remove mucus (1) Stimulates goblet cells to secrete more mucus which collects and blocks airways (1) Bacteria/viruses become trapped in mucus and multiply, leading to increased infections. (1) Such as influenza/pneumonia (1)TAR: long term effect: Smokers cough due to irritation in airways ( trying to clear excess mucus) (1) This constant cough causes the lining of airways/alveoli to become damaged (1) This produces scar tissue which is thicker and less flexible(1) Smooth muscle layer thickens (1) This reduces the size of the lumen in the airways and so permanently restricts the flow of air (1) Frequent infections inflames the lining of the airways: epithelium (1) White blood cells accumulate to fight pathogenic microorganisms, need to move from blood to airways and release enzymes to digest the linings of the lungs (1) Enzyme is elastase which damages the elastic tissue in the lining of the lungs (1)this affects small bronchioles and alveoli, loss of elastic tissue reduces the elastic recoil in exhalation so trapping air (1) This can cause alveoli to burst (1)For the following diseases: Chronic bronchitis (2), Emphysema (4) COPD (2) and lung cancer (6) describe the symptoms and how smoking causes these.LUNG CANCER: Symptoms: coughing/ shortness of breath (1), pain in chest (1) coughing up blood in sputum (1) Carcinogens in cigarette smoke, accumulate in the tar on lung surface (1) Benzopyrene most harmful (1) Carcinogens enter the nuclei of cells of the lung tissue and can lead to genetic mutations (1) can affect the genes that control cell division, which can lead to uncontrolled cell division, cancer (1) These cancers often occur where tar accumulates at the entrance to bronchi, can take 20-30 years to develop. (1)CHRONIC BRONCHITIS: Symptom: continual coughing (1), coughing up mucus (1) inflammation of the lining of the airways (1) damaged cilia, over production of mucus leads to irritation, coughing, infection (1)EMPHYSEMA: Loss of elasticity in alveoli , which causes alveoli to burst (1) This gives a reduced surface area for gas exchange (1) Symptoms : Short of breath, hard to exhale as elastic recoil lost (1) breathing shallow and rapid, so blood is less well oxygenated= fatigue (1)COPD: combination of diseases (1) chronic bronchitis, emphysema and asthma (1) All symptoms above!Complete the exam questions below:Describe how smoking could cause changes in alveoli, such as those shown in the figure above. 6 marksIn your answer you should make the links between the changes and their causes clear.named component of cigarette smoke(correctly linked to a stated problem); tar, hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide (but NOT in context ofHb), ammonia, sulphur dioxidedestroy / paralyse, cilia; mucus not removed;tarover-active goblet cells / extra mucus produced; (accumulation of mucus) leads to, infections / bronchitis;e.g.‘tar destroys cilia’ = 2(1 for this mark, linking the component with a statedproblem, and also the mark for destroying cilia)DO NOT CREDIT tar more than onceIGNORE nicotine neutrophils / phagocytes / macrophages / monocytes (invade);secrete, enzyme / elastase;elastin / elastic fibres, digested / destroyed;low(er) level of, elastase inhibitor / α antitrypsinase;alveoli fail to recoil;constriction of (terminal) bronchioles;(so) coughing / forced expiration, causes alveoli to burst;reduced surface area;ALLOW white blood cells, DO NOT CREDIT lymphocytes, CREDIT formation of scar tissue / fibrosis5 maxQWC; Award if at least 1 mark has been given from each of themark scheme sections for this question.

What are cardiovascular diseases? (5)Diseases that affect the heart/circulatory systemAtherosclerosisCHDStrokearteriosclerosisDistinguish between CVD and CHD (2)CVD: diseases that affect the heart or the circulatory systemsCHD a CVD that is a disease of the HEART caused by a malfunction of the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heartDistinguish between atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis (2)Atherosclerosis is deposition of fatty substances (cholesterol) in the walls of arteries, under the endotheliumArteriosclerosis is hardening of artery walls by deposition of minerals such as calcium in the atheroma’s.What are the symptoms of cardiovascular disease and explain why? (3)High blood pressure and hypertension: results from narrow lumens caused by atheroma’s, Narrow lumen increases friction between blood and artery wall; Heart pups against friction = raised BPAtheroma makes the artery walls less elastic; artery walls cannot dilate as much, or recoil easilyArterosclerosis: hardening of artery walls, makes elastic recoil worse, makes walls less flexibleWhat are the symptoms of CHD and explain why? (5)More difficult to exercise, out of breath: due to atherosclerosis in coronary arteriesReduced blood flow to cardiac muscle: atheroma blocks coronary artery lumenHeart muscle does not receive enough oxygen for respiration and is put under strain to pump more bloodCardiac muscle has less blood=pumping less stronglyLess blood flowing to body, muscles and lungsDescribe the symptoms of a stroke (5)Sudden: brain/part brain receives less oxygenNumbness/weakness of face, arm, leg, especially one side of bodyConfusion/difficulty speaking/understandingDifficulty seeing in one/both eyesTrouble with walking/dizziness/loss of balance/coordinationSevere sudden headache with no other cause.Make a table showing each of the factors that increase the risk of CHD and explain how each contributes to a person developing the disease (14)Risk factorHow they contribute to the risk of CHDAgeRisk increases as you get older as have more fatty deposits in arteries, blood vessels narrow and are less elastic.SexMen are more likely under the age of 50 to die of CHD (woman =oestrogen protects before menopause)Cigarette smokingIncreases deposition of fatty substances in coronary artery walls, increases BP, and increases likelihood of blood clotsObesityPlaces more stress on the heartHypertension: high BPIncreases deposition in coronary artery walls/artery wallsHigh blood cholesterol concentrationIncreases depositionPhysical inactivityAllows circulatory system to loose efficiency. Increases BPDiet high in saturated animal fatIncreases cholesterol= atheromasHigh salt intakeIncreases BP as kidneys retain water (blood)Absence of polyunsaturated fats Less good lipoproteins to transport cholesterolAbsence of antioxidants such as vitamin A, C, EAntioxidants, such as vitamins C and E and carotenoids help protect healthy cells from damage caused by free radicalGenetic factors/family history of CVDPredisposition to the condition.DiabetesOther risk factors: hypertension, obesity, saturated fat, cholesterol levels etc.Stress Continual stress = raised BPWhy is CHD less of a problem in less economically advanced counties?
