BTEC Level 3 Health & Social Care Unit 3 Anatomy & Physiology B8 Endocrine & B9 Lymphatic System

This item is a resource package, which consists of a 18 page interactive student booklet for the BTEC Health and Social Care Level 3 Unit 3 Anatomy and Physiology B8, Endocrine and B9 Lymphatic and Immune System. You can alter and add to this or print off as it is as it covers the spec for these body systems, in full. There are confidence building activities which give students a technique and guidance as to how to tackle the longer harder questions. Finally, there is a 100 mark exam paper to test students understanding and prepare them for the actual exam. It has an easy to follow mark scheme which allows for peer marking to save on your time.

Along with this, is the seven engaging PowerPoints and additional work sheet tasks and activities that go with it.

The PowerPoints are well designed and have embedded videos in them, with booklet pages for students to make notes and example of possible exam questions that may be asked.

B8 The structure, function and main disorders of the endocrine system

• Hypothalamus – control of pituitary gland via releasing hormones, control of daily rhythms.
• Pituitary gland – control of growth, function of sex organs, osmoregulation.
• Thyroid gland – regulation of growth and function of many body systems, role in regulation of blood calcium levels.
• Ovaries – production of oestrogen and progesterone (sex hormones).
• Pancreas – regulation blood sugar via production of insulin and glucagon.
• Adrenal glands – the ‘fight or flight’ response via the hormone adrenaline, regulation of blood pressure via the hormone aldosterone.
• Testes – production of androgen hormones which are involved in the development of maleness and the production of sperm.

Disorders of the endocrine system;
 diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus
 hypothyroidism.

B9 Structure, function and disorders of the lymphatic and immune systems

• Lymph – formed from tissue fluid and carries fluids back to the blood system.
• Lymphatic vessels – carriage of lymph.
• Lymphatic organs – the formation and maturation of lymphocytes.
• Lymphocytes – the immune response via T and B cells.
• Spleen – filtration of the blood, destruction and recycling of parts of red blood cells.
