Life Science | Paper 1 Exam Revision | Sense Organs - Homeostasis (Grade 12 CAPS)

Описание: Master Homeostasis plus Sense Organs — Eye 👁️ and Ear 👂 — for Grade 12 CAPS or NSC — Paper 1 Human Physiology. Clear structures, functions, feedback loops, and the memo keywords markers love 🚀

What you will learn

🌡️ Homeostasis basics: negative feedback, thermoregulation (vasodilation 🔴, vasoconstriction 🔵, sweating 💧, shivering ❄️), osmoregulation (ADH and kidneys), blood glucose (insulin ⬇️, glucagon ⬆️)

👁️ Eye: cornea, iris, pupil, lens, ciliary body, suspensory ligaments, retina (rods 🌙 vs cones 🌈), fovea, optic nerve; accommodation and pupil reflex; defects and corrections (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, cataracts)

👂 Ear: pinna, canal, eardrum, ossicles (malleus–incus–stapes), oval and round windows, Eustachian tube, cochlea and organ of Corti, semicircular canals (balance ⚖️); hearing pathway and common disorders (conductive vs sensorineural)

🧠 Integration: nervous vs endocrine control (fast ⚡ vs slower ⏱️ responses); stress response and exercise examples

📝 Memo keywords: receptor, stimulus, transduction, effector, response, negative feedback, accommodation, refraction, mechanoreceptor, thermoregulation, osmoregulation, vasodilation, vasoconstriction

❗ Common pitfalls: mixing receptor and effector; saying positive instead of negative feedback; endocrine vs exocrine confusion; rods vs cones mix-ups

Exam technique — Paper 1

Use flow diagrams: stimulus → receptor → CNS → effector → response

Explanations: name the structure → state the function → link the outcome

Data questions: quote numbers and trends 📈 and tie them to the feedback loop
