Explain closed double circulation and its advantages using evidence from each question and mark scheme.
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a heart defect that people can have from birth. People with VSD have a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the left and right ventricles.
What could happen in a person with VSD?
1 Blood will leak through the hole, mostly from right to left.
2 The volume of blood circulating through the lungs will be higher than in a person without VSD.
3 Less oxygen will be delivered to the body tissues.
