Gonadotrophin releasing
hormone(GnRH)
neccesary for correct reproductive
functions, controls follicular growth,
ovulation and corpus luteum
Oestrogen
starts off
ovulation, rebuilds
lining after
menstruation
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
Controls menstrual
cycle and the production
of ocytes by the ovaries

Importance of enzymes
Key for the bodies
metabolism/facilitates
chemical recations such as
respiration, digestion and
other important processes.
when enzymes function
properly homeostasis is
maintain
The specific action of an enzyme with a
single substrate can be explain by the Lock
and Key theory 1894 by Emil Fischer. The
lock is the enzyme and the substrate is the
key. Only the correct key (substrate) fits the
correct key hole (active site) of the correct
lock (enzyme).
Diet
What is Malnutrition?
excess or
lack of
nutrition
What is a
balanced diet?
Correct proportions of food -
nutrients, minerals and energy
What is the importance
of protein in the body?
building blocks of
all cells, enzymes,
muscle repair,
channel proteins,
hormones-insulin,
antibodies,
hymoglobin
Respiration is a chemical
reaction that happens in all
living cells, it is the way in that
energy (ATP) is released from
glucose in order for other
chemical reactions to happen.
What is Aerobic
and Anaerobic
respiration?
Aerobic: uses oxygen,
produces 38ATP
Glucose and oxygen react
together to produce carbon
dioxide and water and releases
energy.
Anaerobic
respiration, doesn't
use oxygen,
produces 4 ATP
During stenuous exercise , not enough
oxygen can reach your muscles, the
waste product of this - Lactic acid builds
up in the muscles causing tiredness and
pain and eventually cramp. The lactic
acid can be broken down again when
you start aerobic respiration again.
ATP
many chemical
reactions including:
active transport,
muscle contarction,
respiration, RER,
manufacture proteins,
sperm
moving molecules
Osmosid
Simple diffusion
facilitated diffusion
Active transport
3 examples: Gas exhange in the alveoli.
Glucose and disolved food nutrients in the villi.
Food nutririents in the gastric pit.
Large surface area
Short diffusion pathway
concentration gradient
veins
Arteries
thick elastic muscle layer, high
pressure, carries oxygenared blood
from the heart with the exception of
the pulmonary artery and umbilcal
cords which do not.
thin, elastic muscle layer,
smilunar valves to stop
back flow, low pressure,
carrying deoxygenated
blood to the heart with the
exception of the pulmonary
veins and umbilical cord
The
human
heart
cell organelles
Mitochondria - converts
glucose into ATP in the
cell
Smooth ER - produces
lipids and membrane
proteins.transports
materials through the
cell
Rough ER - produces proteins in sacks called
cristae, transports materials through the cell.
Nucleus - controls many
functions of the cell and
contains DNA
Golgi body - packages proteins
and carbohydrates into
membrane bound vesicles for
export
Ribosomes - composed of RNA rich cytoplasmic granules
that are sites of protein synthesis
