Stents can open up narrow

Under high pressure valves can
become damage allowing blood
to flow backwards.

Arteries go toward your heart
We can replace valves with
biological animals valves but
these only last about 15 years.
Deforestation:
Sulphur dioxide and
nitrogen oxide pollution
from factories forms acid
rain. This damages tress and
makes lakes to acidic for life.
Blockages in blood vessels can
stop oxygen reaching the heart.
This can happen due to age or a
bad diet.
Step 1: Find a doctor!
Step 2: Get a STENT!
The blood coming from
the lungs and going to
the body is oxygenated.
Increasing amounts of greenhouse gases make it harder for the heat
to escape the atmosphere. Increasing the temperature of the planet.
This could lead to:
•Changes in weather
and flooding
•Rising in sea levels
How to remove a
blockage…
Capillaries link arteries and veins.
The have thin walls so oxygen and glucose
can diffuse out to cells and waste and CO2
can diffuse back from cells.
Blood plasma (liquid)
carries dissolved food,
CO2 and urea.
White Blood cells

against disease
Red Blood cells
carry oxygen
Platelets help with
clotting (think scabs)
Remember: Red blood cells are biconcave
discs giving them a bigger surface area and
have no nucleus to fit in more haemoglobin.
This lets them carry more oxygen as
oxyhaemoglobin.
