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.
