with a number of issues and symptoms; some of which are acute,
Question 1 some of which are chronic. In the table below, list which items are either chronic or
acute.
Acute Issue Chronic Issue

Shortness of breath Smoking

Chest pain Type II Diabetes

Pain in his left arm Osteoarthritis of left knee

Of Rob’s issues, which should be dealt with first; acute or chronic? Explain why in 50
Question 2
words.
Response... Acute issues should be dealt with first, because they develop and deteriorate rapidly
as compared to chronic. If left untreated, the acute illness can transmute in to a
chronic illness. Additionally, after resolution of acute symptoms, the status of chronic
disease can be better analysed.

List five (5) body systems that are affected by Rob’s situation, and briefly note their
Question 3 purpose or function. Related to Robs chronic/ acute presenting issues.
Referencing required
Response... Type II Diabetes affects: 1. CNS (causes peripheral retinopathy)

2. Kidneys (Diabetic renal disease)

Smoking affects: 3. Respiratory system (can lead to bronchitis)

Dietary habits (beer and fast food) and sedentary life style can affect: 4. GI (May lead to
dyspepsia, GERD)

5. CVS (Increased chances of atherosclerosis)

Question
Normal Anatomy and Physiology
(3) of the body systems affected by Rob’s acute issues, list two (2) signs or symptoms that might
4 indicate there might be a variation from normal function. Referencing required

Response... Respiratory system: when a person is normal, he/she don`t face any difficulty in breathing,
whereas Mr Rob is facing difficulty in breathing.

Musculoskeletal system: he is facing difficulty in moving his arm.

The body consists of different levels of structural organisation and complexity. In 100 words,
describe how each of the following items combine to make up the human body. In your response,
specify what the different types of muscle tissue are and how human body systems are formed at a
cellular level.
Referencing required
Question • Atoms
5 • Molecules
• Cells
• Organs
• Muscle tissue
• Human Body systems
Response... Atoms are smallest representatives of elements. e.g. Hydrogen is found in more than half of the
body proteins. Atoms together form molecules. Phospholipid is a molecule that forms cell
membranes, which with nucleus and cytoplasm make cells. Cells combine to form tissues, e.g.
muscle. Muscle tissues are: smooth, skeletal and cardiac. Smooth muscle together forms the
involuntarily functioning hollow organs e.g. uterus. Skeletal muscle is considered an organ itself,
which forms the voluntary skeletal system and the cardiac muscle makes up myocardium of the
heart, an organ, which is an integral part of the cardiovascular system.

Question 9 9B. The effects it has on the various body systems. Include potential signs and symptoms.
9C. The impact this could have on wellbeing and Rob’s health.

Referencing required
Response... Rob`s acute event is Myocardial Infraction or Chest tightness, caused by blockage of
coronary arteries and veins. It damages the cardiac muscles as it hinders the blood flow
of the respective area/s.

Respiratory system is also affected by this as there might be a fluid retention in lung
which can cause infection which will be accompanied by shortness of breath.

This will act as a hinderer in his daily living because his suffer continually from shortness
of breath, dizziness, nausea, chest tightness or pain in chest which may radiate to limbs
as well.

Step 8
Potential Complications

Describe the effects of biological maturation and ageing processes


Question 12 on the body systems related to Robs presentations (acute/
chronic) as discussed in the case study.
Referencing required
Response... Chronic:

Diabetes can lead to an impaired visual acuity over time


resulting from the retinopathy caused by the disorder. In
the near future, he may require glasses to continue
working as a delivery driver and his chances of having
cataracts are more than a non-diabetic patient.
Additionally, his periodontal health and teeth will
deteriorate faster owing to the impaired healing and
greater influx of inflammatory cells leading to chronic
periodontitis that might loosen his teeth. Peripheral
neuropathy may affect his limbs and he may complain
about discomfort to his feet while pressing the pedals
while driving his delivery truck for prolonged periods of
time. If left untreated, he may end up with end- stage
renal disease as aging already causes a decreased tubular
filtration and loss of nephrons, all of which can be
aggravated by his already sub-optimal renal functioning due
to diabetes.

Owing to his osteoarthritis, he has at an increased risk of


falls leading to fractures and to an impaired
proprioception in the future. Aging causes a reduction in
bone mineral density (BMD) which will make him more
susceptible to fractures. Decreased muscle tone may
affect dexterity and his ability to work.

Smoking, beer, sedentary lifestyle and wrong food


preferences can lead to cardiovascular events since aging
already leads to loss of vascular elasticity and weakens the
myocardium, lessening the ability of the heart to cope with
the stress of heavy meals, stress and any form of exercise.

13B: How does a cardiac event affect the cardiac muscles/


tissues?
13C: Explain the changes a cardiac event has on the heart?
13D: How could physical exercise increase the strength of the
cardiac muscles?
Referencing required

Response... 13A: The major types of cardiac adaptation

(1) Left ventricular hypertrophy

(2) Increased stroke volume

(3) Increased resting heart rate (1)

13B: A cardiac event can lead to:


(a) Ventricular hypertrophy
(b) Myocardial infarction (1)
13C: Explain the changes a cardiac event has on the
heart?
Ventricular hypertrophy is the increase in the size of the
ventricular myocardium, particularly the left ventricle, in
response to increased workload such as in the case of
exercise and hypertension. (1)

Myocardial infarction is caused by occlusion of one of


the coronary arteries leading to necrosis and ultimately
death of the myocardium supplied. (1)

13D: How could physical exercise increase the


strength of the cardiac muscles?

Exercise engages the skeletal muscles and the myocardium,


increasing the demand for blood by the former and
increasing the corresponding supply by the latter. An
increase in stroke volume and cardiac output means that
the ventricles are working hard, leading to an
enhancement in the quality and size of the myocardium.

In 20 words, for each response, address the below points:


• Explain the difference between molecules and compounds
• Describe metabolism and the two processes it involves
Question 20 • What is pH?
• How does respiratory acidosis occur?
• What is alkalosis and how is it prevented?
• Referencing required
Point to Address Response
Molecules and compounds Molecules are a combination of atoms, whereas intensifies molecules in what
constituent atoms are not the same as each other.
Metabolism Aggregate of all substance processes occurring inside living cells is metabolism,
involving anabolic and catabolic cycles.
pH The proportion of acidity and alkalinity of a medium is called pH.
Respiratory acidosis nability of the respiratory system to eliminate carbon dioxide is called respiratory
acidosis.
Alkalosis Increased levels of bicarbonate or decreased levels of carbon dioxide prompts
alkalosis

For each of the body processes described below, specify the type of transport it relates to,
using this list.
• Passive-Simple diffusion
Question 21 • Active transport
• Passive- Facilitated diffusion
• Osmosis
• Hydrostatic pressure
Type of Transport Process

Osmosis The passage of water molecules down the concentration gradient across a semipermeable membrane.
Sodium potassium pump: The movement of sodium ions from a lower concentration inside the cell to a higher
Active transport concentration outside the cell, with the assistance of ATP.
Passive-facilitated Cellular metabolism requires glucose, a large molecule. The cell provides glucose-specific carrier proteins that
bind to glucose molecules and allow them to enter the cell from a higher to lower concentration.
diffusion
Passive-Simple Gas exchange at the alveoli: Oxygen is exchanged from the air to the blood and carbon dioxide from blood to
air.
diffusion
Hydrostatic
The force exerted by blood against the walls of the blood vessels by the pumping action of the heart.
pressure
