OCR Mammalian Physiology and Behaviour

Ive seen a few threads for the other optional modules so thought i would make this one. Anyone started revising for it yet? what bits are people finding tricky?

I started last week, but now I'm worrying that I've not given myself enough time. I don't think the topics themselves are particularly difficult, it's just remembering all the detail that I'm struggling with at the minute. The liver and nutrition chapters aren't going too well :frown:

for me, its the day after a realy hard physics exam, the afternoon after the hardest maths paper i've ever seen, and the day before two chemistry papers that i need to revise for and haven't started yet, and two days before the second hardest maths paper i've ever seen.

something's got to give :frown:

So anyone wanna revise on here like for UC/CC?

I need to revise bones. Does anyone know what the side processes on the vertebrae are for - each type...the articular, transverse and neural spine. If asked for their function....what is it? And why is the neural spine more curvy downwards for the thoracic vertebrae than the lumbar...?

It should say in the book, really. They only really test us on the book. Have you got the Cambridge OCR book?

articular processes are to articulate with other verterbrae next to it. transverse are to connect to ribs for throatic and to connect to large lower back muscles in lumbar.

the neural spine points down for thoratic so that when person bends down the spinal cord is still protected :smile:
