Neural Toxins and Poisons
From Nelson Thornes, these activities encourage students to investigate nervous transmission by considering the effects of various toxins and poisons on the nervous system. These include botulinum toxin (Clostridium botulinum), tetanospasmin (Clostridium tetani), tetradotoxin (pufferfish) and atropine (Deadly Nightshade).
In doing so, students refresh their knowledge and understanding of neurone structure and synapses.
These biology resources are aimed at A2 level students. They are aimed at the AQA specifications but can be used with other courses.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.
Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
