  • Lungs diagram

    Specification Link

    This respiratory system diagram is used for: Explain the role of the right ventricle in pumping blood to the lungs.

    What To Explain

    Gas exchange depends on diffusion gradients and respiratory surfaces adapted for efficient movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

    Exam Answer Move

    The target objective is: Explain the role of the right ventricle in pumping blood to the lungs. The answer should explain gas exchange or respiratory structure-function relationships.

  • Stomach wall Main cell Border cell Mucous neck cell Fundus membrane diagram

    Specification Link

    This digestive system diagram is used for: Recall the main sites of production and action of amylase, proteases and lipases.

    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: Recall the main sites of production and action of amylase, proteases and lipases. The learner should explain digestion, enzymes or absorption.

  • Exploded view of digestive apparatus (1) diagram

    Specification Link

    This digestive system diagram is used for: Recall the main sites of production and action of amylase, proteases and lipases.

    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: Recall the main sites of production and action of amylase, proteases and lipases. The learner should explain digestion, enzymes or absorption.

  • Valves 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.
