A 120 GLH exam assessed unit

For this unit you will study anatomy, cell structures, genetics and 11 body systems, learning about the structure so you can label, and about the functions. Homeostasis is the mechanisms and process our body uses to remain healthy. In addition, you need to learn about a dysfunction of the body system such as heart disease, asthma or kidney failure and a range of diagnostic techniques and treatments available. Each week will recap the science you learned last year and practice exam questions, see schedule below:-

Unit 3 Anatomy & Physiology Introduction

A clear understanding of anatomy and physiology is essential for most health care professions and this unit lays the groundwork for your studies in careers such as nursing, midwifery or the allied health professions. Equally, if you are looking to enter the workforce, knowledge of anatomy and physiology is beneficial to those working in supportive roles in the health and social care sector.

This unit focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the human body and week by week you will cover the content, sitting your exam on January 16th 2020.

You will learn....  the core knowledge of cellular structure and function as well as the organisation of the body as a whole.  building on this to develop a more detailed knowledge of the fine anatomy and physiology of the skeletal and muscular systems and those systems involved in energy metabolism.  examine energy and the cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive systems and the functioning of body systems associated with energy metabolism.  consider some common disorders and how homeostatic mechanisms operate in the maintenance of an internal environment.  investigate the processes relating to natural conception and prenatal development from the point of fertilisation through to birth.  examine factors that affect prenatal development, including genetic and chromosome disorders.

Your exam; January 16th 2020

Diagnostic testing for genetic and chromosome disorders, to include amniocentesis

and chorionic villus sampling

There is lots to learn each week so it’s really important to us study periods and time at

home to plan your revision, going over what you have learned in the lesson until you

fully understand it – you can be tested on any of the content in the exam board spec.

SECTION B

The structure, function and disorders of body systems

B1 Homeostatic mechanisms

 Definition of homeostasis.  Internal environment.  The concept of negative feedback as a regulatory mechanism.  Body temperature – production of heat by the body, loss of heat by the body, roles of hypothalamus and autonomic nervous system (role of arterioles and sweat glands), effects of shivering, implications of surface area to volume ratios, fever.  Blood glucose levels – roles of pancreas, liver, insulin, glucagon.  Fluid balance – water intake/output/loss, role of kidneys and renal system.  Failure of homeostatic mechanisms – hypothermia, dehydration.

B2 The structure, function and main disorders of the cardio-vascular system;

 The structure and function of the blood  The structure and function of the heart  Pulmonary & systemic circulation and stroke volume  The cardiac cycle, blood flow through the heart  Blood vessels – arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins  The heart rate and regulation  Systole, diastole, and blood pressure.

Cardiovascular System Disorders: symptoms, causes, impact, treatment  Coronary Heart Disease  Stroke  Anaemia  Hypertension – high blood pressure

Diagnostic techniques;  Angiogram  Cardiac ultrasound  Electrocardiogram (ECG)  Blood Pressure readings

B3 The structure, function and main disorders of the respiratory system;  the role of air passages in nose

 the structure and functions of pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, pleural membrane, bronchial tree  the structure and function of the alveoli and the gaseous exchange  the role of ciliated epithelial tissue  respiratory muscles – intercostal muscles, diaphragm  ventilation regulation, gaseous exchange, diffusion

Respiratory System Disorders: symptoms, causes, impact, treatment  Smoking Related complications  Asthma  Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)  Pneumonia

Diagnostic techniques;  Peak Flow  Chest X-ray  Spirometer  Sputum testing

B4 The structure, function and main disorders of the skeletal system

 The structure of the skeletal system: axial skeleton, appendicular skeleton, types of bone > long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones, sesamoid bones.  The function of the skeletal system: support, protection, attachment for skeletal muscle, source of blood cell production, store of minerals  The structure and function of ligaments and cartilage.  The location of major bones – cranium, parietal, temporal, occipital, mandible clavicle, ribs, sternum, humerus, radius, ulna, scapula, ilium, pubis, ischium, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, vertebral column, vertebrae.  The classifications of joints – fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints, synovial joints.  Synovial joint structure.  Movement allowed at each joint, to include flexion, extension, circumduction, adduction, abduction, gliding.

Disorders of the skeletal system, to include  fractures  osteoarthritis  osteoporosis  increase in people with rickets

B5. The structure, function and main disorders of the muscular system

 The structure of striated muscle  How muscles are attached to the body: tendons, fascia.  Types of contraction: isometric, concentric, eccentric.  Function of the muscular system: movement – antagonistic pairs (agonist, antagonist), synergist, fixator.

Diagnostic techniques  Evoked Visual Response testing for optic nerve myelin sheath damage  Lumbar puncture

Dysfunctions of the nervous system  Parkinson’s disease  Multiple Sclerosis (MS),  Dementia.

B8 The structure, function and main disorders of the endocrine system

 Hypothalamus – control of pituitary gland via releasing hormones, control of daily rhythms.  Pituitary gland – control of growth, function of sex organs, osmoregulation.  Thyroid gland – regulation of growth and function of many body systems, role in regulation of blood calcium levels.  Ovaries – production of oestrogen and progesterone (sex hormones).  Pancreas – regulation blood sugar via production of insulin and glucagon.  Adrenal glands – the ‘fight or flight’ response via the hormone adrenaline, regulation of blood pressure via the hormone aldosterone.  Testes – production of androgen hormones which are involved in the development of maleness and the production of sperm.

Disorders of the endocrine system;  diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus  hypothyroidism.

B9 Structure, function and disorders of the lymphatic and immune systems

 Lymph – formed from tissue fluid and carries fluids back to the blood system.  Lymphatic vessels – carriage of lymph.  Lymphatic organs – the formation and maturation of lymphocytes.  Lymphocytes – the immune response via T and B cells.  Spleen – filtration of the blood, destruction and recycling of parts of red blood cells.

Disorders of the lymphatic and immune system  Hodgkin’s disease  Leukaemia

B10 Structure, function and disorders of the renal system

 Kidneys – filtering toxins from the blood, regulating water and salt balance and pH.  Ureters – carrying urine form the kidney to the bladder.  Bladder – storage or urine.  Urethra – carrying urine from the bladder to the outside world.  Disorders of the renal system  urinary tract infections (UTIs)  renal failure

SECTION C
