INTRODUCTION
In health and social care, ethical policies and guidelines for the care professionals to do right thing and provide standard quality
care to the patients. Good ethical policies develop good culture on the basis of transparency and trust. In order to get success in
healthcare area, human anatomy and physiology is very significant. Anatomy is associated with the study of body's physical structure
and physiology is the study related to functions and relationship of different parts of the body (Chandrangsu, Rensing, and Helmann,
2017). In this report, the chosen organisation is National Health Services which is a publicly funded healthcare system in United
Kingdom founded in 1948. The organisation render residential and non-residential care services to people with different health and
care needs. This project covers the function of human body cell along with its role during osmosis and diffusion and the structure and
functions of different body systems. It also covers the way body systems corporate to maintain life and health of person. Apart from
this, it interprets normal and abnormal physiological measurements for a person with ill health and the risk assessment which
minimise harm to health of person with ill health. In addition to this, a person centred care plan is developed which includes
interventions which help in improving the ill health of individual.

Role of human body systems in homeostasis by
comparing healthy and ill healthy human bodies
Homeostasis plays significant role in functioning of the
body in proper way. It is regulated through distinct mechanisms
like osmoregulation, chemical regulation and thermoregulation
This means that a healthy human body is physically,
mentally, emotionally and psychological fit whereas, an ill healthy
human body is not fit emotionally, physically, mentally and
psychologically. The another difference is that a healthy body will
be disease free or free from any kind of diseases whereas, an ill
healthy body will not be healthy. Apart from this, a healthy body

through different systems in body such as digestive system,
urinary system, respiratory system and nervous system. These
maintain stability of body through releasing stimulus when the
levels of hormone decrease or increase. Hemostasis is referred as
balance, equilibrium or stability within a cell or body. It is a
significant characteristic of living beings and maintain a stable
internal environment that requires adjustments as the conditions
change outside and inside the cell. Maintenance of system in the
cell is called homeostatic regulation. The hormones regulate the
activity of body cells and hormones release is controlled by
stimulus. The stimulus response changes intrinsic conditions as
well as itself may become new stimulus which is self-adjusting
mechanism through internal system cold feedback regulation.
Osmosis is a crucial process which is performed in the body for its
proper functioning. The movement of water in body is performed
by osmosis and is carried out through balancing both sides of
membrane of cell, for appropriate functioning of biochemical
process which is most required. The biochemical process is
altered in two conditions and results in cells death. These two
conditions are:
1. When the solute concentration is rises above normal in
extracellular fluid that cause in intracellular fluid
is energetic as well as able to perform according to the needs
whereas, an ill healthy body is not energetic and cannot be able to
perform well as per the situation and needs (Danziger, and Zeidel,
2015).
Role of human body cell, structure and functions of
different body systems and how these systems
function together to ensure homeostasis in the body
A cell is defined as the building block of life. A human body
consists of trillions of cells which administer structure for the
body, extract nutrients from food, convert them into energy and
perform specialised functions. They also contain hereditary
material of body as well as can make copies of themselves
(Chandrangsu, Rensing, and Helmann, 2017). There are many
parts of cells and each one has different function. The major parts
of the cell include cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum,
cytoskeleton, lysosomes and peroxisomes, nucleus, mitochondria,
plasma membrane, ribosomes and Golgi apparatus. The common
functions of cell include reproduction, nutrient uptake, waste
removal, growth and reacting to external changes. Some of the
