ROLES / FUNCTIONS
The heart consists of 4 chambers, the left Atrium and
the right atrium (plural: atria) at the top and the left
ventricle and the right ventricle below. Ventricles have
thick muscular walls because they pump blood at high
pressure.

 Left atrium-receives oxygenated blood from the


lungs through the pulmonary vein.
 Right atrium-receives deoxygenated blood from
the rest of the body through the vena cava.
 Left ventricle-Pumps blood to all parts of the
body through the aorta.
 Right ventricle-Pumps blood to the lungs
through the pulmonary artery.
 Bicuspid valve-prevents back flow of blood from
the left atrium.
 Tricuspid valves-prevents back flow of blood to
the right atrium. Semilunar valves-prevents the
back flow of blood.

Trachea: it acts as a passage for air and has cilia

lined with rings of cartilage to prevent collapsing.
Bronchi: directs air to the lungs.
Lungs: this is where gaseous exchange takes place.

The electrolysis of acidified water (dilute sulphuric


acid) is an example of a decomposition reaction.
When a direct current is passed through the acidified
water (H2O), it decomposes into its components
which are oxygen (O2 ) and hydrogen (H2) (twice as
much hydrogen as oxygen) by means of an electric
current. The diagram below shows electrolysis of

energy doing work.

Chemical  This is energy that is stored in fuel or food and


energy is released when a chemical reaction takes place.

Electric  This is energy carried by moving electrons in an


energy electric conductor.

Heat  This energy that an object has due to the activity


(thermal) of its atoms or molecules. In hot objects, the
energy atoms or molecules are excited and move
quickly. I a cool object, atoms or molecules are
less excited and move slowly.

Mechanical  This is the amount of potential and kinetic

when a force causes an object to vibrate.

Radiant  This is energy that occurs in electromagnetic
energy waves. It is a form of energy that can travel
through space.

Gravitation  This is energy that object has due to its position


al energy or height above the surface of the earth.

Nuclear  This is the amount of energy stored in the


energy nucleus of an atom.

Light  This is energy that is transferred by means of


energy waves and particles, called photons.

- Electric energy
- Heat energy
Different forms of energy can be changed
Combustion of fuels in motor vehicles, with the help of
electric energy from a battery, results in the conversions
of chemical energy into kinetic, heat and light energy. In
the electric storage battery, chemical energy is converted
to electrical energy and later converted to light and sound
energy.

information. Radio communication involves the
converting of sounds into electrical signals known as
audio signal.
Advantages
-It is the cheapest form of media in terms of energy use,
weight and cost.
-People can listen to radio in the background while doing
other work, for example, while driving to and from work.
-It has the ability to reach specific audience through
specialized programming. That way, it is possible to have
radio stations using local languages so the listeners can
easily understand the message.

.
Disadvantages
-Radio allows only one way communication. The sender
can only send information but in most cases there is no
feedback.
Teacher Pupils copy
-Radios can only send radio signals without visual
signals. writes brief the notes in Eclectic

-Radio signals are susceptible to interference so it can notes on the their note Method
sometimes be hard to receive a clear signal. board books
TELEVISION
Television is one of the popular ways of sending
information around the world. Nowadays. It is very
effective because it combines both audio and video
signals.
Advantages
-Television is able to combine both sound and pictures
thus making the communication process more effective.
-It has a wide geographical coverage and broad audience
-Television keeps the audience well informed of current
affairs and breaking news around the world.
Disadvantages
-It is an expensive method of communication. Buying a
television for example, can be very expensive.
-The programmes are not aired at a convenient time for
the viewer.
-Unlike the radio, one cannot watch television while
doing something else, such as driving since it requires the
full attention of the viewer.
EMAIL
E mail stands for electronic mail. It enables a person to
send well arranged text files and pictures to another
person’s e- mail address.
Advantages
-Emails are fast. They are delivered at once around the
world. No other form of written communication is as fast
as the email.
-Aside from the cost of internet connections, email is
free. One can send as many messages, files, videos,
documents and presentations as he or she wants without
having to pay anything.

.
-Thousands of email messages can be archived into
folders on your computer or handheld communication
device such as a cell phone to be retrieved when you
need them.

Disadvantages
-Emails can carry viruses which can affect the computer Teacher asks Pupils
