Introduction

This site  contains all the relevant material concerning s2; including notes, answers to blocks quizzes, past exam questions and possible questions. Feel free to browse the page.

Hints / Tips

Many of you will have already understood the saying: "Time is precious". This is especially true during Human Biology exams. The first semester exam gives you an idea as to what to expect for the end of year paper. As for preparation for the end of year exams is concerned, you will find that it is relatively easier compared to last semester. This is because the subjects dealt with are various systems of the body organized in a logical and understanding order. You also will have an idea of the marking standards and the level of answers expected. Integrating all these aspects will make life a little easier during second semester Human Biology.

Cardiovascular System 

The Cardiovascular System is one of the most logically based systems of the body. I have attached some notes to this section. These are HTML pages and they tackle specific questions from block quizzes and past exam papers. Medical students click here.

Immune System

If you like memorizing chemical mediators and cellular biology, you will like Immune System. The immune system is one of the most complicated systems of the body. The lecture series aims to simplify the content and is inadequate in dealing with the immune system. Treat these lecture series as a an introduction to an intensely complex system.

Respiratory System 

The Respiratory System is also logically organized and is tightly linked with the Cardiovascular System. In total there are 18 pages of notes and exam answers. Treat this as a good resource for revising the respiratory system. Medical students click here

Digestive System

The Digestive System consists of a sequence of GIT structures. Following the food pathway after it is injested will lead to a very clear cut understanding of the structure and function of each organ and the processes involved in the breakdown of food, transportation of food along the GIT, and the excretory functions. Also included are the accessory GIT organs such as the liver and pancreas whose secretions play a vital role in the break down and solubility of food particles.

Renal System

The renal system incorporates the kidneys, and its associated structures all the way down to and including the bladder and urethra. The urethra will be dealt with in the Reproductive System in detail. This is especially true for medical students who will study the histology of the urethra in detail indeed. This page includes general notes for the renal system, just summarizing the lecture notes and including some other details where appropriate.
