Immune response

Better Health Vic. Immune system.
Nobel Prize site Immune responses game + heaps of other information.
Immune response animation.
 The immune response. 21 mins. The three levels of immune defence are explored in isolation and as part of a disparate yet interconnected system. High quality animations are used to illustrate the nature of specific and nonspecific defence mechanisms deployed by the human immune system. The role of human intervention in the defence against disease is also explored.
Sexual & asexual reproduction. 16 min. This program looks at sexual and asexual reproduction, starting at the cellular level, with clear explanations of meiosis and mitosis. Using a range of graphics and footage to explain biological processes, it explores various types of asexual reproduction, including fission, budding, fragmentation, spores, vegetative and artificial propagation. Sexual reproduction in animals is covered – including direct and indirect development – as well as sexual reproduction in flowering plants. Finally, various benefits and disadvantages are discussed.
