Unit 3: Area of Study 2: Detecting and Responding Key Knowledge:


 * Coordination and regulation
 * Stability and change in the internal environment
 * Principals of homeostasis
 * Signalling molecules: neurotransmitters, hormones, pheromones, plant growth regulators
 * Signal transduction: signals, membrane receptors, responses
 * Detecting self and non self molecules: antigens and membrane receptors
 * Pathogens: non-cellular agents, cellular agents, controls
 * Physical and chemical barriers to infection in plant and animals
 * Immune response
 * Structure and overall function of the lymphatic system
 * Non-specific: inflammatory response, phagocytosis, blood clotting
 * Specific immune response: T-cell lymphocytes and cell-mediated response, B-cell lymphocytes and humoral response, antigens and antibodies, memory cell
 * Disorders of the immune response: autoimmunity, hypersensitivity, allergens and allergic responses
 * Acquired immunity, natural, artificial including vaccines and antibody serums.
