  • Lymphatic system of the stomach diagram

    Specification Link

    This digestive system diagram is used for: Explain how bile neutralises stomach acid and emulsifies fats to increase the rate of fat digestion.

    What To Explain

    Digestive organs and enzymes break large insoluble food molecules into smaller soluble molecules that can be absorbed.

    Exam Answer Move

    This is tied to: Explain how bile neutralises stomach acid and emulsifies fats to increase the rate of fat digestion. The learner should explain digestion, enzymes or absorption.

  • Heart (4) diagram

    Specification Link

    This circulation diagram is used for: Explain that the heart pumps blood around the body in a double circulatory system.

    What To Explain

    The heart and blood vessels work together to maintain blood flow between the lungs, body tissues and the heart.

    Exam Answer Move

    This links the diagram to: Explain that the heart pumps blood around the body in a double circulatory system. A strong answer follows the pathway or explains how circulation supports exchange at tissues.

  • Small intestine (1) diagram

    Specification Link

    This digestive system diagram is used for: Explain that digestive enzymes convert large insoluble food molecules into small soluble molecules that can be absorbed into the blood.

    What To Explain

    Digestive organs and enzymes break large insoluble food molecules into smaller soluble molecules that can be absorbed.

    Exam Answer Move

    This is tied to: Explain that digestive enzymes convert large insoluble food molecules into small soluble molecules that can be absorbed into the blood. The learner should explain digestion, enzymes or absorption.

  • Adult cardiomyocytes diagram

    Specification Link

    This circulation diagram is used for: Explain that the heart pumps blood around the body in a double circulatory system.

    What To Explain

    The heart and blood vessels work together to maintain blood flow between the lungs, body tissues and the heart.

    Exam Answer Move

    This links the diagram to: Explain that the heart pumps blood around the body in a double circulatory system. A strong answer follows the pathway or explains how circulation supports exchange at tissues.
