All topics and their key points listed below must be discussed in your essay
Topic 1: Reproduction (10 marks total)
Endometrial tissue contains glandular structures relevant to Eshma’s reproductive function. Explain the role
of this glandular tissue in reproductive function, including any likely changes from normal in the secretion
and resultant effects for Eshma. (4 marks)
Considering Eshma and her current circumstances, describe the role of oestrogen and explain whether you
expect her oestrogen levels to be different to normal. Your discussion should include the homeostatic
regulation of female reproductive physiology and the relevant glands and hormones. (6 marks)
Topic 2: Respiratory system (5 marks total)
Describe the changes in volume and pressure that will be occurring in Eshma’s chest cavity during exhalation
on a long run. Explain why these changes are occurring, and the effect upon airflow. (5 marks)
Topic 3: Digestion/metabolism (8 marks total)
Eshma supplements her diet with a daily protein shake after exercise. Today though, Eshma is experiencing
some discomfort with indigestion, so takes a dose of Gaviscon® Dual Action soon after drinking her shake.
Discuss how taking Gaviscon® Dual Action could affect digestion of the protein in her shake. (4.5 marks)
State the hormone that is MOST active in maintaining Eshma’s blood glucose levels during a marathon.
Explain your answer. (3.5 marks)
Topic 4: Pharmacology (7 marks total)
In the past Eshma has used Voltaren Emulgel (containing an NSAID) to ease her aching muscles after
exercise. However, a friend has mentioned that Voltaren is also available in tablet form and may be better
for the “task”.
Compare and contrast the two different formulations of Voltaren available to Esham. In your answer you will
need to examine the following: (7 marks)
• Where the drug is likely to be absorbed in each form
• Likely bioavailability of each form and susceptibility to hepatic first pass effect
• Why would the oral form be better?

Topic 1: Reproduction
When Esham becomes pregnant, her glandular structures undergo a number of changes. Producing offspring requires glan
dular tissue. Milk comes from the east coast. Esham's body may undergo unforeseen changes during pregnancy due to the hormones progesterone and oestrogen. Growth hormones stimulate the development of glandular tissue that produces and delivers milk to the ducts in the abdomen (Millas & Duarte Barros,2021). The expansion of the apex directly results from the hormones' effect on adipose tissue. When oestrogen levels rise, prolactin production in the pituitary gland increases. During pregnancy, the levels of prolactin, progesterone, and oestrogen rise and fall, respectively, to regulate the growth of the baby and the accompanying changes in glandular tissues. The role of oestrogen in the development of the foetus is also significant. Oestrogen levels don't increase much at the beginning of pregnancy, but by the end of it, they've hit their peak. As a result of her sickness, Eshma's oestrogen levels will be greater than usual. A spike in these oestrogen levels may also result in the lower back and pelvic pain due to the hormone relaxin produced during the second trimester of pregnancy. This hormone helps Eshma feel more relaxed, especially in her pelvic area (Zamponi et al,2021). Her physical equilibrium and stability will deteriorate when Esham's pelvic joints relax. A rise in these hormones causes melanin production to speed up because melanocytes are stimulated to produce more melanin-producing hormones.
LH stimulates the ovaries to produce more oestradiol and progesterone, which in turn aids in ovulation. Oestradiol and progesterone work hand in hand to prepare a woman's body for pregnancy. A number of hormones, such as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, and oxytocin, are secreted by the pituitary gland. Female prolactin is essential for breast physiology. Inadequate or excessive prolactin excel in providing to clinically significant pathologic outcomes. Adequate quantities of the hormone prolactin are required for normal lactational activities (Zamponi et al,2021). Prolactin level fluctuations may impair this capacity. Lack of it prevents the mother from breastfeeding, whereas too much of it causes galactorrhea in non-pregnant women and men. Perturbations in the prolactin balance may also have severe effects on the menstrual cycle. Amenorrhea (the absence of menstruation) is brought on by excessive amounts of prolactin in women, which...
