Also known as the cardiovascular system. Very small blood vessel with walls made of a single layer of epithelial cells. Exchange of materials, such as nutrients, oxygen and carbon dioxide, takes place between the blood and the cells of the CELL DIVISION AND CANCER Cell division, mitosis and cancer. Multi cellular organisms, like humans, are made up of billions of cells. These cells need to divide and copy themselves for a variety of reasons. For example: cells wear out and need to be replaced. new cells allow the body to repair damaged tissue. new cells allow the body to grow. SKIN STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION Skin structure and function. The narrowing of blood vessels which restricts the flow of blood. The widening (dilation) of blood vessels which allows more blood to flow. An area of the brain which regulates hormone release, temperature control, hunger, thirst and sleep.

WHAT'S NEW?

To celebrate Biology Week 2020

,

we’ve launched a new topic: One Health. One Health is a programme that recognises that the health of humans, animals and ecosystems are connected. In this approach, multiple disciplines work together locally, nationally, and globally to achieve the best outcome for human health, animal health and the environment. Find out more about One Health . HUMAN GENOME PROJECT Understanding the human genome can be seen as the key to understanding the mystery of human life itself. -------------------------

YOUR FEEDBACK

"An excellent resource on blood sugar level and genetic engineered insulin production. It was exactly what I'd been looking for."
