32 slides covering Cell structure (cell specialisation and cell differentiation).
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
**4.1.1.3 Cell specialisation **
Students should be able to, when provided with appropriate information, explain how the structure of different types of cell relate to their function in a tissue, an organ or organ system, or the whole organism.
Cells may be specialised to carry out a particular function:
sperm cells, nerve cells and muscle cells in animals
root hair cells, xylem and phloem cells in plants.
**4.1.1.4 Cell differentiation **
Students should be able to explain the importance of cell differentiation.
As an organism develops, cells differentiate to form different types of cells.
Most types of animal cell differentiate at an early stage.
Many types of plant cells retain the ability to differentiate throughout life.
In mature animals, cell division is mainly restricted to repair and replacement. As a cell differentiates it acquires different sub-cellular structures to enable it to carry out a certain function. It has become a specialised cell.

25 slides covering the human endocrine system.
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
**4.5.3.1 Human endocrine system **
Students should be able to describe the principles of hormonal coordination and control by the human endocrine system.
The endocrine system is composed of glands which secrete chemicals called hormones directly into the bloodstream. The blood carries the hormone to a target organ where it produces an effect. Compared to the nervous system the effects are slower but act for longer.
The pituitary gland in the brain is a ‘master gland’ which secretes several hormones into the blood in response to body conditions. These hormones in turn act on other glands to stimulate other hormones to be released to bring about effects.
Students should be able to identify the position of the following on a diagram of the human body:
pituitary gland
pancreas
thyroid
adrenal gland
ovary
testes.
