Use the diagram to answer questions 5, 6 and 7. Hormones iabetes is a condition where the body cannot control the level of glucose in the blood. The diagram shows how the level of glucose in the blood is regulated. high blood glucose insulin released by organ X organ X low blood glucose glucagon released by organ X organ Y takes in glucose from the blood organ Y releases glucose into the blood blood glucose level returns to normal 5. Name organ X. stomach pancreas liver brain P40181 3 Turn over
6. Organ Y is a target organ for insulin and glucagon. Organ Y is the pancreas stomach liver brain 7. Which row of the table shows how insulin and glucagon affect blood sugar levels? insulin glucagon raises blood glucose levels raises blood glucose levels lowers blood glucose levels lowers blood glucose levels raises blood glucose levels lowers blood glucose levels lowers blood glucose levels raises blood glucose levels 8. Insulin and glucagon are chemical messengers that travel through the blood chemical messengers that travel along neurones electrical impulses that travel through the blood electrical impulses that travel along neurones P40181 4
The eye 9. The diagram shows a section through a human eye. 1 2 lens optic nerve Which row of the table identifies parts 1 and 2 of the eye? part 1 part 2 ciliary muscles pupil cornea iris iris cornea pupil ciliary muscles 10. The function of the lens is to focus light control the amount of light entering the eye produce electrical impulses pass electrical impulses to the iris 11. The optic nerve transmits electrical impulses to the brain along motor neurones from the spinal cord along motor neurones to the brain along sensory neurones from the spinal cord along sensory neurones 12.

Questions 25 to 40 must be answered by Higher tier candidates only. Foundation tier candidates do not answer questions 25 to 40. efence against disease 25. The graph shows how the immune system responds when microorganisms enter the body. 70 y-axis 60 50 secondary immune response 40 30 primary immune response 20 10 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 time in weeks Which is the correct label for the y-axis? concentration of antibodies concentration of antigens concentration of pathogens concentration of white cells that ingest pathogens 26. The specific immune response relies on the action of white blood cells. This response is specific because each different antigen is activated by its own matching pathogen antigen has its own matching antibody antibody has its own matching white blood cell pathogen is activated by its own matching antibody P40181 11 Turn over
27. The specific immune system works with the second line of defence to destroy pathogens that enter the body. Which of these statements describe the second line of defence? 1 white blood cells release chemicals which cause inflammation 2 lysozymes in tears destroy bacteria 1 only 2 only both 1 and 2 neither 1 nor 2 28. Which of the following are physical barriers that help to prevent pathogens from entering the body? nasal hair and ciliated cells tears and white blood cells nasal hair and antibodies white blood cells and ciliated cells P40181 12
Fertility treatment Use the information to answer questions 29 and 30. In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a treatment that can be given to women who have difficulties in becoming pregnant. The table gives information about the number of births as a result of IVF treatment. year number of total live IVF IVF patients single births sets of twins sets of triplets babies 1996 20914 3015 1041 123 5467 1998 18619 2812 978 113 5109 2000 18196 3085 1406 81 5333 2002 17816 3288 1096 32 5579 2004 18463 3464 1015 16 5589 29. The data shows that the number of IVF patients has decreased in each two-year period since 1996 triplet births has decreased annually since 1996 triplet births in 2004 was half that in 2002 single and twin births was greatest in 2004 30. The most likely reason for the reduction in the number of sets of triplets over the eight-year period is due to a steady increase in the number of twin births a decrease in the number of patients receiving IVF improvements in IVF resulting in fewer embryos being implanted per patient an increase in the number of live births from 1998 to 2004 31. The first two stages of IVF treatment are shown below. 1 a woman is injected with a fertility hormone 2 eggs are collected from the ovaries What is the next stage in IVF treatment? the embryo is given an electric shock sperm are mixed with the eggs in vitro the embryo is inserted into the uterus sperm are mixed with the eggs in vivo P40181 13 Turn over
32. Which hormone is used in IVF to promote egg development? oestrogen progesterone LH FSH rain disorders Stroke is the third most common cause of death in England and Wales. 33. Which row of the table shows the effect that a stroke is most likely to have on reaction time and the rate at which the brain processes information? reaction time rate at which the brain processes information decreases decreases increases decreases decreases increases increases increases 34. Which of these statements describe causes of stroke? 1 death of brain tissue due to blocked blood vessels 2 an increase in electrical activity in the brain causing jerky movements 3 damage to the brain caused by internal bleeding 1 only 1 and 3 2 and 3 1, 2 and 3 35. Parkinson s disease can cause slowness in movement and speech impairment. These symptoms are caused by a reduction in synaptic transmission in the brain a reduction in blood flow to the brain an increase in motor neurone activity in the brain an increase in sensory neurone activity in the brain P40181 14
36. rugs, such as cannabinoids, affect the brain. Which of these statements about cannabinoids are correct? 1 cannabinoids provide pain relief by blocking receptors in the brain 2 cannabinoids are addictive as they increase communication across synapses 1 only 2 only both 1 and 2 neither 1 nor 2 ontraception 37. The contraceptive implant is a small tube containing progesterone inserted under the skin. Progesterone is slowly released into the body and helps to prevent pregnancy. How does the contraceptive implant containing high levels of progesterone work to help prevent pregnancy? it inhibits LH production which prevents eggs maturing it prevents ovulation and reduces the chance of implantation it thickens the uterus lining which prevents sperm reaching the egg it inhibits oestrogen production which prevents repair of the uterus lining 38. Which row of the table shows the effect of progesterone on FSH production and the uterus lining during pregnancy? FSH production causes uterus lining is stimulated to remain thickened is inhibited to break down is inhibited to remain thickened is stimulated to break down P40181 15 Turn over
39. One role of oestrogen in the menstrual cycle is to stimulate the release of FSH cause breakdown of the uterus lining encourage a follicle to produce progesterone trigger the production of LH 40. LH is a hormone released by the pituitary gland during the menstrual cycle. Which of these statements about LH are correct? 1 the target organ for LH is the uterus 2 LH causes an egg to be released from an ovary 1 only 2 only both 1 and 2 neither 1 nor 2 TOTL FOR HIGHER TIER PPER: 24 MRKS EN P40181 16
