Re: A2 Edexcel Unit 5 Bio exam discussion (31 Jan 2012)ahan i believe there is alot for unit 5 that isnt required by the specification..but then im weird and i litreally am learning every single thing cz the last time i prepared my As with the specification...i ended up getting a C so yeah...atleast make sure u guys have some idea about it....because it may not be in the spec..but u may have to apply the idea of it in some question so yeah.......(Original post by farhanyen)
L-dopa can pass through the blood brain barrier while dopamine cannot. Its all in the A2 student book and.....after checking the spec., I think thats as deep as you need to know it for a level. further details are not needed much like the rest of the SNAB course. -

Re: A2 Edexcel Unit 5 Bio exam discussion (31 Jan 2012)questions:
ethical issues of DBS?
why/how does parkinsons cause tremors and involuntary movement?
list shortcomings of levedopa and drug-telated treartment?
advantages of DBS over other treatments?
describe and explain side effects of DBS?
Explain ( in short detail) how DBS works to traet brain disorders?
Explain why DBS can be used to treat a multitude of disorders?
Check yr textbooks/guide bks ask yr teachers etc abt these qs. Try to get the best possible answers. Then we'll post and discuss them here.
Anything aym3n?
Please post any notes you have on parkinson's, dopamine,blood brain barrier and all that stuff or any important relevant things that you know abt this stuff.
I've searched and found some notes that a based on the specification, for both topic 8 and 7 as this thread as for the whole of unit 5. Warning, do not study from these notes alone, as specification is more like a checklist. Study the textbook and rev guide really well though.
Note: I had to download a pdf splitter just to upload these so PLEASE upload whatever you have thx.
Good luck all!!!!! A*s for everyone!!!!
