  • Normal ECG R Q T U P S mV + - P Wave Space QRS ST T PQ 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.

  • Hepatomegaly Healthy liver Hepatomegaly 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.

  • Bloodstream 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.

  • Conducting zone Bronchiole Bronchus Trachea Larynx Pharynx Nose diagram

    Specification Link

    This respiratory system diagram is used for: Describe the basic structures of the lungs that are required, including trachea, bronchi, alveoli and surrounding capillaries.

    What To Explain

    Efficient gas exchange depends on a large surface area, short diffusion distance and maintained concentration gradients.

    Exam Answer Move

    This matches the objective: Describe the basic structures of the lungs that are required, including trachea, bronchi, alveoli and surrounding capillaries. The answer should explain structure, diffusion and concentration gradients.
