The human brain

Biology

The human nervous system

Neurones and synapses

Human reaction time: practical

The structure and function of a reflex arc

The human eye

Common defects of the human eye

Damage and disease in the human brain, including fMRI and electrical stimulation

Pupils will learn how hormones and glands of the human endocrine system enable us to coordinate and control changes in our bodies.

Pupils learned how substances essential for chemical reactions in living cells, and the products of the reactions, are transported into, around and out of the human body, and the implications of surface area:volume ratio.

This unit explores the structure and function of the nervous system, including the CNS, reflex arcs, and the eye. It covers brain structure, common eye defects, and the challenges in treating nervous system damage. It also addresses ethical considerations.
