Key terms
transplant
transplant is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Describe the role of donor heart or heart-lung transplants in severe heart failure..
Describe
In AQA GCSE Biology, Describe means state the relevant features, sequence, structure, or observations clearly without needing a full cause-and-effect explanation. For Animal tissues, organs and organ systems, use Describe to support the objective to describe the role of donor heart or heart-lung transplants in severe heart failure. Related approved keywords for this objective include transplant. This definition is deliberately scoped to Coronary heart disease: a non-communicable disease, so it preserves this concept without merging it with neighbouring key terms.
artificial heart
artificial heart is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain how artificial hearts can keep patients alive or support recovery while waiting for treatment..
Explain
