Topic 8: Transport in mammals (CIE International A-level Biology)

Each of the 7 lessons in this bundle are fully-resourced and have been designed to cover the content as detailed in topic 8 (Transport in mammals) of the CIE International A-Level Biology specification. The specification points that are covered within these lessons include:

• The double, closed circulatory system of a mammal
• The relationship between the structure and function of arteries, veins and capillaries
• The role of haemoglobin in carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide
• The significance of the oxygen dissociation curve at different carbon dioxide concentrations (Bohr effect)
• The external and internal structure of the mammalian heart
• The cardiac cycle, including the blood pressure changes during systole and diastole
• The initiation and control of heart action

The lessons have been written to include a wide range of activities and numerous understanding and prior knowledge checks so students can assess their progress against the current topic as well as be challenged to make links to other topics within this topic and earlier topics
