🧠 How Mnemonics Help IAA Students

Mnemonics are memory aids. When topics are tough or similar (like peptide vs. steroid), a mnemonic gives you a simple clue.

🎯 Example:

• “Protein = Plasma = Peptide can’t Pass” helps you remember that peptide hormones bind to outside receptors.
• “Steroids Slip Straight” tells you they enter the cell easily.

💡 These make revision faster and confusion less likely during exams!

🧾 Final Tips for IAA Students

✅ Understand the 3 steps: Reception → Transduction → Response
✅ Focus on key terms like ligand, receptor, second messenger
✅ Practice drawing diagrams of both types of signalling
✅ Use mnemonics and real-life examples to recall in tests
✅ Revise the table for a side-by-side comparison
