AC9S9U01
Biological sciences
compare the role of body systems in regulating and coordinating the body’s response to a stimulus, and describe the operation of a negative feedback mechanism
Elaborations
- AC9S9U01_E1exploring the body’s observable responses to external stimuli (such as changes in light or temperature, or presence of danger or pathogens) or internal stimuli (such as dehydration or hunger)
- AC9S9U01_E2using models, flow diagrams and virtual simulations to explore and represent the relationships between body systems that are necessary to coordinate a response to stimuli
- AC9S9U01_E3comparing the role and function of electrical impulses and hormones in the body’s responses to external stimuli
- AC9S9U01_E4modelling how the process of regulation is monitored and adjusted by connections between the receptor, command centre and effector
- AC9S9U01_E5examining the effects of a disorder in a feedback system, such as diabetes-induced blindness or hypothermia
- AC9S9U01_E6considering how understanding of feedback mechanisms has enabled the development of pharmaceuticals and other products to address issues or enhance performance, such as insulin or electrolytes in sports drinks
