11.4.8 Compare the processes of spermatogenesis and oogenesis, including the number of gametes and the timing of the formation and release of gametes

11.4.9 Describe the process of fertilization, including the acrosome reaction, penetration of the egg membrane by a sperm and the cortical reaction

11.4.10 Outline the role of HCG in early pregnancy

11.4.11 Outline the early embryo development up to the implantation of the blastocyst

11.4.12 Explain how the structure and functions of the placenta, including its hormonal role in the secretion of estrogen and progesterone, maintain pregnancy

11.4.13 State that the fetus is supported and protected by the amniotic sac and amniotic fluid

11.4.14 State that materials are exchanged between the maternal and fetal blood in the placenta

11.4.15 Outline the process of birth and its hormonal control, including the changes in progesterone and oxytocin levels and positive feedback

11.2.7 Explain how skeletal muscles contracts, including the release of calcium ions from the sacroplasmic reticulum, the formation of cross-bridges, the sliding of actin and myosin filaments, and the use of ATP to break cross-bridges and re-set myosin heads

11.2.8 Analyse electron micrographs to find the state of contraction of muscles fibres




Topic 11.1: Defense against infectious disease

11.1.1 Describe the process of blood clotting

Topic 11: Human health and physiology

Topic 11 of the IB HL Biology syllabus is the Genetics. IBO recommends to spend 17 hours on this topic.

This topic has 4 sub-chapters: "Defense against infectious disease", "Muscles and movement", "The kidney" and "Reproduction". Each are separated with numerical values in order of mentioned.

These are all HL syllabus statements, it is recommended to bring a Casio Graphical Calculator instead of Texas.
