21 slides covering the blood.
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
Blood is a tissue consisting of plasma, in which the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are suspended.
Students should know the functions of each of these blood components.
Students should be able to recognise different types of blood cells in a photograph or diagram, and explain how they are adapted to their functions.

23 slides covering the The heart and blood vessels.
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
Students should know the structure and functioning of the human heart and lungs, including how lungs are adapted for gaseous exchange.
The heart is an organ that pumps blood around the body in a double circulatory system. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs where gas exchange takes place. The left ventricle pumps blood around the rest of the body.
Knowledge of the blood vessels associated with the heart is limited to the aorta, vena cava, pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein and coronary arteries. Knowledge of the names of the heart valves is not required.
Knowledge of the lungs is restricted to the trachea, bronchi, alveoli and the capillary network surrounding the alveoli.
The natural resting heart rate is controlled by a group of cells located in the right atrium that act as a pacemaker. Artificial pacemakers are electrical devices used to correct irregularities in the heart rate.
The body contains three different types of blood vessel: • arteries
• veins
• capillaries.
Students should be able to explain how the structure of these vessels relates to their functions.
Students should be able to use simple compound measures such as rate and carry out rate calculations for blood flow.

32 slides covering Cell structure (cell specialisation and cell differentiation).
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
**4.1.1.3 Cell specialisation **
Students should be able to, when provided with appropriate information, explain how the structure of different types of cell relate to their function in a tissue, an organ or organ system, or the whole organism.
Cells may be specialised to carry out a particular function:
sperm cells, nerve cells and muscle cells in animals
root hair cells, xylem and phloem cells in plants.
**4.1.1.4 Cell differentiation **
Students should be able to explain the importance of cell differentiation.
As an organism develops, cells differentiate to form different types of cells.
Most types of animal cell differentiate at an early stage.
Many types of plant cells retain the ability to differentiate throughout life.
In mature animals, cell division is mainly restricted to repair and replacement. As a cell differentiates it acquires different sub-cellular structures to enable it to carry out a certain function. It has become a specialised cell.
