Nervous system 31 diagram
Specification Link
This nervous 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
Information is passed through the nervous system so the body can coordinate a response.
Exam Answer Move
The mapped objective is: Explain that digestive enzymes convert large insoluble food molecules into small soluble molecules that can be absorbed into the blood. The answer should connect structures such as receptors, neurones, synapses or effectors to coordination and response.
Cirrhosis of the liver diagram
Specification Link
This digestive system diagram is used for: Explain that bile is made in the liver and stored in the gall bladder.
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 bile is made in the liver and stored in the gall bladder. The learner should explain digestion, enzymes or absorption.
Taste Papillae Taste buds 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.
Neonatal 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.
