(1.1) Outline the main anatomical features in each of the body systems with identifying main functions of ANY THREE systems (NS, RS, CVS, US or ES)*;
*NS-Nervous system, RS-Respiratory system, CVS-Cardiovascular system, US-Urinary system, ES-endocrine system).
(1.2) a) Discuss Cellular metabolism and explain how Digestive and Respiratory system interact in cellular metabolism.
b) Discuss function of growth hormone (production of more cells eg during development) which ensure our body to grow.
Task 2 (L.O-2: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and M1, M2, D2).
A 25 year young boy is a full time student. His schedule in college is from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. During the day:
(2.1) Explain normal body responds to his everyday physical activities. Choose an activity
(Respiration, Cardiovascular system, Digestion, Excretion or other physical activites –movement, co-ordination etc as appropriate for the activity chosen).
(2.2) In relation to the above response, discuss how body responses are explained by cellular and tissue structure and physiology (in relation to Respiration: Gaseous Exchange OR Digestion: absorption of nutrients OR Excretion: function of kidney etc).
(2.3) Explain how his body will coordinate its internal activities: Discuss homeostasis with feedback loops designed to lower or raise relevant parameters (eg: regulation of body temperature OR heart rate OR blood sugar).
Task 3 (L.0-3: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and M1, D2, D3).
A 65yr old man with hypertension develops a chest pain and reports to the GP Practice. What routine tests GP could be recommended for him? Discuss in relation to routine measures such as weight/height: BMI, pulse, respiration rate, blood pressure, blood tests, food intake, etc.
(3.1) Explain how routine measures are recorded (ethical consideration: dignity, individual rights and privacy) and what are their uses in health and social care? (Decision making, monitoring the progress and in legal issues)
(3.2)Assess how these (Temp., Pulse, BP, BMI, ECG etc.) routine measures are recorded and provide the GP with information about the body functioning of this person.
(3.3) Examine how such information about the body functioning may inform care planning for this person (Hypertension and chest pain).
Task 4 (L.0-4: 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and M3, D1, D3)
An 85 years old woman living in a care home is a known case of type 2 diabetes. She has suffered from arthritis of the knees for the last few years. Recently she has developed a wound on her leg which is not healing well.
(4.1) Explain how her age may have affected her body structure and functioning. (Nervous and Respiratory system).
(4.2) Assess the impacts of the above mentioned conditions on her body structure and functions.
(4.3) Relate the effects of her medical conditions including infection to the routine care of this lady.
