Instructions to Students
This assessment requires students to submit a written assessment for each of the body
systems studied in this unit
- Cells and Tissues
- Integumentary System
- Musculoskeletal System
- Nervous System
- Endocrine and Senses System
- Cardiovascular System
- Respiratory System
- Urinary System
- Lymphatic System
- Immune System

- Reproductive System
Students will be required to answer the following questions, according to each body system,
to demonstrate your knowledge of the Anatomy and Physiology of the human body.
1. What is the Anatomy of this system?
What is it?
2. What is the Physiology of this system?
How does it work?
3. Provide a pictorial representation.
4. Does this body system work with other systems in the body? How?
5. List 2 diseases (pathophysiology) of this system and how they impact on it.
6. List 2 Medications and contraindications and contraindications and
contraindications related to the diseases chosen. Include their use, drug
interactions and side effects.
7. How does this system defend itself? What is the Immune Responses related to this
system?
8. What are the main signs of aging according to this system?
9. List types of trauma
10. What Nursing Interventions and planning services would you implement/action
when caring for a client with the above chosen diseases?

Cells and Tissues
1. Anatomy
Cells
A cell is considered to be the most important aspect of human life and thus considered as building
blocks. It primarily comprises of cytoplasm, which is a combination of proteins and nucleic acids
enclosed within a membrane.
Types of cells
There are mainly two types of cells, which are differentiated on the basis of presence of a nucleus.
Eukaryotic cells containing nucleus encompasses organisms with single cell while prokaryotes
without a nucleus can be both single-celled or multiple.
Tissues
Tissue is a collaboration of cells responsible for performing similar functions and tends to act as a
cellular structure in between organs and cells.
2. Physiology
A significant branch of biology, physiology is concerned with the normal functional operational
activities of living entities and their body organs. It encompasses the series of activities undertaken
by human body in relation to external changes.
3. Pictorial Representation

4. Related systems/ how
Human physiology comprises of several functions like circulatory, digestive, endocrine,
integumentary, immune, nervous, urinary, musculoskeletal, respiratory and reproductive.
5. Pathophysiology
Common diseases relating to cell comprises of cancer, mutation and angiogenesis.
6. Defence and Immune Responses
Skins acts as the primary tool of defence against foreign pathogens from entering inside human
body. Antigen present on the surface of a cells is responsible for sparking immune response.
7. Medications and contraindication
Medications used to treat cell dilemma comprises of antibiotics, pain-killers and hydroxyurea.
Contraindication of cell comprises of pharmacologic agents, contaminates, malignancy and
hematologic disorders.
8. Degenerative Changes
Degeneration in cells occur due to nonlethal injury associated which is manifested to be biochemical
functional abnormality.
9. Types of Trauma
Trauma to the cells and tissues occurs due to sudden injury associated with a shock, scrape or fall
and ultimately results in damaging the inner cells of the body.
10. Nursing Interventions and planning services
Cell and tissue related diseases can be treated with blood transfusions, surgery, antibiotics, pain-
relieving medications and vitamins.

Integumentary System
1. Anatomy
The anatomy of integumentary system comprises of epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, hair, nail,
sebaceous glands, ceruminous glands and sudoriferous glands.
2. Physiology
Integumentary system is concerned with protecting the body from external environmental influence.
In this case skin primarily acts as protection shield for the underlying tissues.
3. Pictorial Representation
4. Related systems/ how
The integumentary system is responsible for handling the functional activities of skin, exocrine
glands, nails and hair form external germs and influences.
5. Pathophysiology
Chronic skin conditions like eczema results in causing severe and long-term impact. Acnes affects the
oil glands of skin.
6. Defence and Immune Response
The skins work in collaboration with other body parts to defend any the integumentary system. The
specialised cells present in different layers of skin acts as immune response to the system.
7. Medications and contraindications
Eczema can be treated with corticosteroid creams, ointments, solutions and foams. Sometimes it can
result in causing itching and red skin.

8. Degenerative Changes
With age, skin becomes rough, fragile, transparent, bruised and develops lesions known as benign
tumours.
9. Types of Trauma
Acne and skin cancer are considered to be the most significant trauma associated with
integumentary system.
10. Nursing Interventions and planning services
Dermatologists are primarily looked forward to cure diseases of integumentary system and requires
prolonged medical supervision.
