I was in the library between 11am and 6pm doing past papers, with only half an hour's break at the Morrisons café lol :o: and I still feel like I know eff all!!!


Geezo!!
I'm resitting it again, so I hate last years paper haha!

But I still if I study hard from tomorrow till exam I think I can get a pass (:s-smilie: hopefully)

I passed both the prelims, (which I didn't last year, I was such a bio n00b :P)
So I just need to stay calm, I think that's were I always go wrong, I always panic, and then can't even think to answer the questions because pretty much everything is flying about in my little head :frown: :eek3:

Can anyone explain the lymphatic system in the most simple way possible please?


My teacher skipped that part of the course so I tried to learn it my self, well that failed
So if lymph comes up tomorrow I will just cry.
Sorry for not being much help

Just found my notes on Lymphatic system :-
Excess tissue fluid is filtered out of the blood stream (at capillary beds), which then drains into lymphatic vessels (which are tiny and then unite to form larger vessels)

Lymph keeps moving as the vessel are squeezed by eg muscle movements, respiration...
The fluid will return to the bloodstream.
Can anyone tell me what the Karyotype is?

Is it just a picture of stained chromosomes that are arranged by size ? ?

LOL You'll be fine! :wink: I'm like that too, I completely panic and go blank. But I'm not going to do that tomorrow because I've sat three SQA exams this month and have stopped shaking when I open the paper lol.

Since you sat it last year, do you have any idea why the grade boundary for an A was so high? Was it to reduce the number of people getting As, or did they believe it was an 'easier' paper?
the good thing about human biology is that its not like there are tonnes of marks on each topic, usually you can get away with very little knowledge except for the essay questions, i just had the higher geography exam in which you are buggered if a topic comes up and you don't know anything about it because there are usually 14 to 18 marks on it

I call reproduction the "sexy" bit but everyone says it's dull LOL. Someone handed in a labelled diagram with 'c*ck' written on it and the teacher laughed. :eek:

I just done the 2004 paper there, and managed to get 83/130, which turns out to be a B. Just scraped a B though, and I still don't feel confident, because I could have been too easy on myself :frown: ha


Could anyone help me with how to meaure heart rates ( questions some times come on on MC) and how to do the surface area things :smile:?
