To follow up on xiao's excellent point, another reason is that even though mutations may have occured, a genetic change may not always reflects a phenotypic change. For example, if a mutation occurs in a gene that encodes for amylase and that mutation is in a region that is not important for the...

No. it is not very appropriate to separate chemical barriers as "external" and "internal". You might be a little bit confused as to what the exact definitions of chemical barriers and secretions are. Chemical barriers are a defense mechanism used by the body to non-specifically prevent the...

Please keep this a PIP discussion.

That's 30% of your Society and Culture work done! Good luck everyone with the remaining 70%!

A student recently asked me about putting a copy of a blank questionnaires into the Central Material of the PIP. And my reply was: "Ok, this is an important issue here. I would strongly recommend you not to put your blank copy of your questionnaires into your Central Material. What they meant...

Depends on the subjects you've picked really.

Yes :p after all, it's your job to deal with the symptoms, and mine to find the underlying pathogenesis :)

maybelle6, unfortunately we are here only to guide you, not to do your assignment. :)

Try to learn everything from the lecture notes. The textbook is good to help clarify complicated concepts, but not essential. There are a lot of things to remember and it's not an easy course. And I personally believe it's at least 3 times harder than BABS1201 - its first year counterpart...

Yep. The total number of year is 7 (4 yrs in BMedSc (Hons) and 3 yrs of MBBS). the alternatively way is the graduate entry (4 yrs MBBS), which requires sitting the GAMSAT. The MedSc-Med pathway doesn't require the GAMSAT.

Point: the initial symptoms of menigitis are quite non-specific anyway. Stop trying to show off. :p

Meningitis is not a bad choice. Please remember that meningitis is the inflammation of the meninges that surround the brain. Meningitis can be viral or bacterial. It would be good if you define which one you would like to do. I think a common form of meningitis is caused by a bacterium called...

Well, the answer to your question is not simple or straightforward, so I have to answer it step by step. Also, do you actually have to perform the experiments yourself or just write about what you are doing to do without having to perform it? 1) You really need to know what are the different...

"Semi-permeable" or "selectively permeable" can both be used when describing the membrane. "Selectively permeable" is a better choice though.

It's the increased blood travelling to that wounded area that increases the local temperature. Homeostasis at this point is irrelevant because the body is trying to eliminate any pathogens from invading the body. More blood (hence white blood cells) reaching that area decreases the change of the...

It just means that Med Science does not offer mid-year entrance.

And also the markers have so many PIPs to get through. They probably don't want to see a 80 pages PIP, especially when it's the last few that they have to mark.

Re: prelim. assign.: perform a first hand investigation to show variation in at least Sorry.. I didn't realise that you are only a Year 11. In biological sciences, when you say something is different to something else, you can actually mean that A is different to B because A and B looks...

The lecture notes and course pack are on the medicine website :)

Hey s-AINT. What virus is that in your sig? Is it a T2 or T4?
