This fantastic set of 11 factsheets cover all the Disorders of the Body in the specification for Unit 2 Human Biology & Health.

There is one double-sided factsheet for each disorder, plus a factsheet covering general concepts relating to cancer (content area C in the Unit specification).

On side one of each factsheet:

  • The disorder is briefly explained
  • Causes of the disorder are outlined
  • The primary effects on the originating body system are summarised
  • Key terms are defined

On side two of each factsheet:

  • Secondary and systemic effects on other body systems are explained
  • Interrelationships between body systems are discussed
  • Key terms are defined

There are a multitude of ways these factsheets can be used, ranging from simple handouts or classroom posters, to stimulus material for lessons or exam questions. Each handout is essential to support students with successful exam answers, particularly the 9-mark answers that require application and making connections.
