For all other chapters, simply reading the suggested pages and doing any more work that you deem necessary will be enough. Digestion and Absorption—Chapter 41 Essential Idea: The structure of the wall of the small intestine allows it to move, digest and absorb food. Nature of Science: • Use models as representations of the real world—dialysis tubing can be used to model absorption in the intestine. Understandings: 1. The contraction of circular and longitudinal muscle of the small intestine mixes the food with enzymes and moves it along the gut. 884-890 2. The pancreas secretes enzymes into the lumen of the small intestine. 888 3. Enzymes digest most macromolecules in food into monomers in the small intestine. 887-888 4. Villi increase the surface area of epithelium over which absorption is carried out. 888-890 5. Villi absorb monomers formed by digestion as well as mineral ions and vitamins. 888-890 6. Different methods of membrane transport are required to absorb different nutrients. 888-890 Applications and Skills: Application: Processes occurring in the small intestine that results in the digestion of starch and transport of the products of digestion to the liver. 888-890 Application: Use of dialysis tubing to model absorption of digested food in the intestine. Activity Skill: Production of an annotated diagram of the digestive system. Activity Skill: Identification of tissue layers in transverse sections of the small intestine viewed with a microscope or in a micrograph. Lab Sample Questions and Assessment Statements • Explain why digestion of large food molecules is essential. 882 • Explain the need for enzymes in digestion. 880-882 • Draw and label a diagram of the digestive system. 884 • Outline the function of the stomach, small intestine and large intestine. 885-890 • Distinguish between absorption and assimilation. Online • Explain how the structure of the villus is related to its role in absorption and transport of the products of digestion. 887-890 Guidance: • Students should know that amylase, lipase and an endopeptidase are secreted by the pancreas. The name trypsin and the method used to activate it are not required. • Students should know that starch, glycogen, lipids and nucleic acids are digested into monomers and that cellulose remains undigested. • Tissue layers should include longitudinal and circular muscles, mucosa, and epithelium. Utilization: • Some hydrolytic enzymes have economic importance, for example amylase in production of sugars from starch and in the brewing of beer. The Blood System—Chapter 42 Essential Idea: The blood system continuously transports substances to cells and simultaneously collects waste products. Nature of Science: • Theories are regarded as uncertain—William Harvey overturned theories developed by the ancient Greek philosopher Galen on movement of blood in the body. Understandings: 1. Arteries convey blood at high pressure from the ventricles to the tissues of the body. 901 2. Arteries have muscle cells and elastic fibers in their walls. 906 3. The muscle and elastic fibers assist in maintaining blood pressure between pump cycles. 906 4. Blood flows through tissues in capillaries. Capillaries have permeable walls that allow exchange of materials between cells in the tissue and the blood in the capillary. 906-907; 909-911 5. Veins collect blood at low pressure from the tissues of the body and return it to the artria of the heart. 906-911 6. Valves in veins and the heart ensure circulation of blood by preventing backflow. 908-909 7. There is a separate circulation for the lungs. 903; 918-920 8. The heart beat is initiated by a group of specialized muscle cells in the right atrium called the sinoatrial node (the SA node). 905 9. The sinoatrial node acts as a pacemaker. 905 10. The sinoatrial node sends out an electrical signal that stimulates contraction as it is propagated through the walls of the atria and then the walls of the ventricles. 905 11. The heart rate can be increased or decreased by impulses brought to the heart through two nerves from the medulla of the brain. 905 12. Epinephrine increases the heart rate to prepare for vigorous physical activity. 905 Applications and Skills: • Application: William Harvey’s discovery of the circulation of the blood with the heart acting as the pump.

Is knowledge based on science more valid than knowledge based on intuition? Utilization: • Understanding of the structure of the cardiovascular system has allowed the development of heart surgery. AIMS: • Aim 6: A heart dissection is suggested as a means of studying heart structure. • Aim 8: The social implications of coronary heart disease could be discussed. Defense Against Infectious Disease—Chapter 43 Essential Idea: The human body has structures and processes that resist the continuous threat of invasion by pathogens. Nature of Science: • Risks associated with scientific research—Florey and Chain’s tests on the safety of penicillin would not be compliant with current protocol on testing. Understandings: 1. The skin and mucous membranes form a primary defense against pathogens that cause infectious disease. 933 2. Cuts in the skin are sealed by blood clotting. Online 3. Clotting factors are released from platelets. Online 4. The cascade results in the rapid conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin by thrombin. Online 5. Ingestion of pathogens by phagocytic white blood cells gives non-specific immunity to diseases. 912; 931-932 6. Production of antibodies by lymphocytes in response to particular pathogens gives specific immunity. 936-942 7. Antibiotics block processes that occur in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells. See Chapter 6 & 27 notes 8. Viruses lack a metabolism and cannot therefore be treated with antibiotics. Some strains of bacteria have evolved with genes that confer resistance to antibiotics and some strains of bacteria have multiple resistance. See Chapter 6 & 27 notes Applications and Skills: • Application: Causes and consequences of blood clot formation in coronary arteries. Online • Application: Florey and Chain’s experiments to test penicillin on bacterial infections in mice. Online • Application: Effects of HIV on the immune system and methods of transmission. 950-951 Sample Questions and Assessment Statements • Describe the process of blood clotting. 913 • Define active and passive immunity. 947 • Explain antibody production. 936-944 Guidance: • Diagrams of skin are not required. • Subgroups of phagocyte and lymphocyte are not required but students should be aware that some lymphocytes act as memory cells and can quickly reproduce to form a clone of plasma cells if a pathogen carrying a specific antigen is re-encountered. • The effects of HIV on the immune system should be limited to a reduction in the number of active lymphocytes and a loss of the ability to produce antibodies, leading to the development of AIDS. International Mindedness: • The spread and containment of diseases such as bird flu require international coordination and communication. Utilization: • An understanding of immunity has led to the development of vaccinations. AIMS: • Aim 8: The social as well as the economic benefits of the control of bacterial diseases around the world should be stressed. • Aim 9: Science has limited means in the fight against pathogens, as shown by the spread of new diseases and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Gas Exchange—Chapter 42 Essential Idea: The lungs are actively ventilated to ensure that gas exchange can occur passively. Nature of Science: • Obtain evidence for theories—epidemiological studies have contributed to our understanding of the causes of lung cancer. Understandings: 1. Ventilation maintains concentration gradients of oxygen and carbon dioxide between air in alveoli and blood flowing in adjacent capillaries. 917; 918-920 2. Type I pneumocytes are extremely thin alveolar cells that are adapted to carry out gas exchange. Online 3. Type II pneumocytes secrete a solution containing surfactant that creates a moist surface inside the alveoli to prevent the sides of the alveolus adhering to each other by reducing surface tension. Online 4. Air is carried to the lungs in the trachea and bronchi and then to the alveoli in bronchioles. 918919 5. Muscle contractions cause the pressure changes inside the thorax that force air in and out of the lungs to ventilate them. 918-921 6. Different muscles are required for inspiration and expiration because muscles only do work when they contract. 918-921 Applications and Skills: • Application: Causes and consequences of lung cancer. Revisit the Science article • Application: Causes and consequences of emphysema. Handout • Application: External and internal intercostal muscles, and diaphragm and abdominal muscles as examples of antagonistic muscle action.

AIMS: • Aim 8: The social consequences of lung cancer and emphysema could be discussed. Neurons and Synapses—Chapter 48 Essential Idea: Neurons transmit the message, synapses modulate the message. Nature of Science: • Cooperation and collaboration between groups of scientists—biologists are contributing to research into memory and learning. Understandings: 1. Neurons transmit electrical impulses. 1047 2. The myelination of nerve fibers allows for saltatory conduction. 1053-1056 3. Neurons pump sodium and potassium ions across their membranes to generate a resting potential. 1052-1055 4. An action potential consists of depolarization and repolarization of the neuron. 1052-1053 5. Nerve impulses are action potentials propagated along the axons of neurons. 1052-1059 6. Propagation of nerve impulses is the result of local currents that cause each successive part of the axon to reach the threshold potential. 1052-1056 7. Synapses are junctions between neurons and receptor or effector cells. 1056-1059 8. When presynaptic neurons are depolarized they release a neurotransmitter into the synapse. 1057 9. A nerve impulse is only initiated if the threshold potential is reached. 1058 Applications and Skills: • Application: Secretion and reabsorption of achetylcholine by neurons at synapses. 1060 • Application: Blocking of synaptic transmission at cholinergic synapses in insects by binding of neonicotinoid pesticides to acetylcholine receptors.

(6.5.5) 1055-1056 • Explain the principles of synaptic transmission. (6.5.6) 1056-1061 Guidance: • The details of structure of different types of neuron are not needed. • Only chemical synapses are required, not electrical, and they can simply be referred to as synapses. Utilization: • An understanding of the workings of neurotransmitters and synapses has led to the development of numerous pharmaceuticals for the treatment of mental disorders. AIMS: • Aim 8: The social effects of the abuse of psychoactive drugs could be considered, as could be use of the neurotoxin Botox for cosmetic treatments. Hormones, Homeostasis and Reproduction—Chapter 45 Essential Idea: Hormones are used when signals need to be widely distributed. Nature of Science: • Developments in scientific research follow improvements in apparatus—William Harvey was hampered in his observational research into reproduction by lack of equipment. The microscope was invented 17 years after his death. Understandings: 1. Insulin and glucagon are secreted by and cells of the pancreas respectively to control blood glucose concentration. 981-984 2. Thyroxin is secreted by the thyroid gland to regulate the metabolic rate and help control body temperature. 990 3. Leptin is secreted by cells in adipose tissue and acts on the hypothalamus of the brain to inhibit appetite. 894; Handout 4. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland to control circadian rhythms. 994 5. A gene on the Y chromosome causes embryonic gonads to develop as testes and secrete testosterone. Handout 6. Testosterone causes prenatal development of male genitalia and both sperm production and development of male secondary sexual characteristics during puberty. 993-994; 1007-1010; Handout 7. Estrogen and progesterone cause prenatal development of female reproductive organs and female secondary sexual characteristics during puberty. 993-994; 1007-1010; Handout 8. The menstrual cycle is controlled by negative and positive feedback mechanisms involving ovarian and pituitary hormones. 1010-1012 Applications and Skills: • Application: Causes and treatment of Type I and Type II diabetes.

Handout Application: Causes of jet lag and use of melatonin to alleviate it. Online Application: The use of IVF of drugs to suspend the normal secretion of hormones, followed by the use of artificial doses of hormones to induce superovulation and establish a pregnancy. Online Application: William Harvey’s investigation of sexual reproduction in deer. Online Skill: Annotate diagrams of the male and female reproductive system to show names of structures and their functions. Handout Sample Questions and Assessment Statements • Explain the control of blood glucose concentration, including the roles of glucagon, insulin and α and β cells in the pancreatic islets. 982-984 • Distinguish between type I and type II diabetes. 983-984 • List three roles of testosterone in males. (6.6.4) 993-994; 1007-1010 • Outline the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). (6.6.5) 1018; Online • Discuss the ethical issues associated with IVF. (6.6.6) Online Guidance: • The roles of FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone in the menstrual cycle are expected. • William Harvey failed to solved the mystery of sexual reproduction because effective microscopes were not available when he was working, so fusion of gametes and subsequent embryo development remained undiscovered. Utilization: • Hormones are used in a variety of therapies such as replacement therapies. AIMS: • Aim 8: Scientists are aware that the drugs women take in fertility treatment pose potential risks to health. Should scientific knowledge override compassionate considerations in treating infertile couples?
