Explanation

Question 14 of 45

7

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Contact between blood and the walls of blood vessels causes ( friction, gravity, drag ) and this impedes flow of blood. This is called ( peripheral resistance, penniless ronald ). The arterioles and capillaries offer a greater total surface area than the ( arteries, venules ), resisting flow more, slowing the blood down and causing blood pressure to ( fall, rise ). Fluctuations in pressure in the arteries are caused by contraction and relaxation in the heart. During ( diastole, systole ), elastic recoil of the blood vessels maintains the pressure and keeps the blood flowing. If the smooth muscles in the walls of an artery ( contract, relax ), the vessels constrict making the lumen narrower and increasing resistance. This leads to blood pressure raising. If the smooth muscles ( relax, contract ), the lumen is dilated, so peripheral resistance is reduced and blood pressure falls.

Explanation

Question 15 of 45

3

The factors that cause arteries or arterioles to constrict (therefore leading to high blood pressure) are:

Select one or more of the following:

  • natural loss of elasticity with age

  • release of hormones such as adrenaline

  • high-salt diet

  • a negative attitude

Explanation

Question 16 of 45

1

When fluid builds up and causes swelling, this is called:

Select one of the following:

  • oedema

  • alopecia

  • orange

Explanation

Question 17 of 45

8

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

( Oedema, orange, Oliver Twist, alopecia ): At the ( arterial, venular ) end of a capillary, blood is under pressure. This forces ( fluid, red blood cells ) and small molecules out through tiny gaps between the cells of the capillary wall into the intercellular space, forming tissue fluid (( interstitial fluid, krazy fluid, wacky fluid )). Blood cells and larger plasma ( proteins, lipids ) can't pass through gaps in the capillary wall. The tissue fluid drains into a network of ( lymph, ladylike, little ) capillaries which returns the fluid to the blood via a ( lymph, ladylike, little ) vessel which empties into the ( vena cava, pulmonary vein ). If blood pressure raises above normal, more fluid may be forced out of the capillaries. In such circumstances, fluid accumulates within the tissues, causing swelling.

Explanation

Explanation

Question 20 of 45

1

In order to be transported in the bloodstream, cholesterol is combined with ......... to form soluble lipoproteins.

Select one or more of the following:

  • carbohydrates

Explanation

Question 21 of 45

6

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDLs): ( Triglycerides, unsaturated fats, starches ) from fats in our diet combine with cholesterol and ( protein, lipids, carbohydrates ) to form LDLs. LDLs transport the cholesterol to ( body cells, gametes ). LDLs circulate in the bloodstream and bind to ( receptor sites, reuptake channels ) on cell ( membranes, walls ) before being taken up by cells (where cholesterol is involved in the synthesis and maintenance of cell ( membranes, walls )).

Explanation

Question 22 of 45

1

Excess LDLs overload the membrane receptors, resulting in high blood cholesterol levels.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 23 of 45

1

The excess LDL cholesterol may be deposited onto artery walls forming:

Select one of the following:

  • atheromas

  • blood clots

Explanation

Question 24 of 45

5

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

High-Density Lipoproteins (HDLs): They have a high percentage of ( protein, cholesterol ) and less ( cholesterol, protein ) compared to LDLs. This gives them a higher ( density, volume ). They're made when triglycerides from fats combine with cholesterol and and protein. HDLs transport cholesterol from the body tissues to the ( liver, kidneys, pancreas ) where it is broken down. This ( lowers, raises ) blood cholesterol levels and helps remove the fatty plaques of atherosclerosis.

Explanation

Question 25 of 45

1

Saturated fats in the diet decreases LDL and HDL cholesterol, with a greater decrease in LDL cholesterol.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 26 of 45

1

Replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat leads to:

Select one of the following:

  • an increase in both LDL and HDL levels, with a greater increase in LDLs

Explanation

Question 30 of 45

3

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

BMR is highest in ( young infants, the elderly ) in order to maintain their body temperature. BMR declines with age with the decline occurring more rapidly after adolescence because adolescents are still actively ( growing, happy ). Males have more muscle than females therefore they burn more calories even when at rest. Larger people have more metabolising tissue therefore they have a higher BMR. A colder environment results in more heat creation so there's a ( higher, lower ) BMR. Exercise raises BMR and creates more muscle which further raises BMR. Dieting results in a drop in BMR.

Explanation

Question 33 of 45

5

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

The waist is measures unclothed at the ( narrowest, widest ) point between the top of the hip bone and the ( rib margin, face ). The hip measurement is taken at the widest point around the buttocks wearing ( light clothing, a robbie rotten costume ). A women's waist-to hip-ratio should be no ( higher, lower ) than 0.85. A man's waist-to-hip ratio should be no higher than 0.90. It is calculated by ( dividing, multiplying ) waist circumference by hip circumference. This takes abdominal fat into account which BMI does not do.

Question 36 of 45

2

Select one or more of the following:

  • Being the major protein in HDL

  • Mutations in the apoA gene are associated with low HDL levels which leads to a reduced ability to remove cholesterol from the blood.

Question 37 of 45

2

APOB is characterised by:

Select one or more of the following:

  • Being the main protein in LDL

  • Mutations of the apoB gene result in higher levels of LDLs in the blood.

2

APOE is characterised by:

Select one or more of the following:

  • Being the main component of HDLs and very low density lipoproteins (VLDLs) which have the same function as HDLs.

  • Having 3 common alleles which produce 3 forms of the protein, E2,E3 and E4. APOE4 being the one that slows the removal of cholesterol from the blood.

  • not following the alphabet

Explanation

Question 39 of 45

A disorder caused by genes and lifestyle choices is called...

Select one of the following:

  • Multifactoral

  • confusion

Explanation

Question 40 of 45

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

A ( high, low ) salt diet causes kidneys to retain water. Higher fluid levels in the blood leads to ( high, low ) blood pressure with associated CVD risks. Salt also causes arteries to lose ( elasticity, recoil ) which makes damage more likely.

Explanation

Question 41 of 45

1

Smoking is another major risk factor in CVD. The haemoglobin in blood cells carries from the smoke instead of oxygen. This reduces the supply of oxygen to cells. This will result in heart rate as the body reacts to provide enough oxygen for the cells. Nicotine in smoke stimulates the production of the hormone , causing an increase in heart rate and causing arteries and arterioles to , raising blood pressure. The chemicals in smoke can damage the lining of the arteries, causing . Smoking has also been linked with a reduction in HDL cholesterol.

is another risk factor for CVD. Moderate exercise helps prevent and can help to lower it. Exercise also seems to raise cholesterol without affecting LDL cholesterol levels. It also reduces the chance of developing and helps in controlling the condition. A person who is physically active is much more likely to survive a heart attack or stroke compared with someone who has been inactive.

is another risk factor contributing to CVD. In stressful situations, release of causes arteries and arterioles to constrict leading to high blood pressure. Stress can also lead to a from overeating and higher alcohol consumption.

Explanation

Question 44 of 45

6

is another risk factor contributing to CVD. Heavy drinking raises blood pressure, contributes to and can cause heartbeat. Excess consumption can result in direct tissue damage, such as to the liver, heart and brain which increases the risk of CVD. A damaged liver impairs its ability to remove glucose and from the blood. The liver converts alcohol into , a 3 carbon carbohydrate. Most of the ethanal is used in respiration but some may end up in which leads to an increased risk of plaque deposition.
