Homework Assignment
AI Summary
This assignment analyzes client health information, covering a wide range of topics relevant to healthcare professionals. It begins with an overview of cell structure, function, and requirements for survival, including cellular respiration. The assignment then explores cellular adaptation mechanisms like atrophy, hyperplasia, hypertrophy, and metaplasia. Transportation systems for cells, including simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis, are discussed. Environmental emergencies, such as diving incidents, high altitude sickness, and temperature-related issues are examined. The assignment then delves into the pathophysiology of carbon monoxide poisoning, its signs, and symptoms. It further explores the impact of surgical, penetrating, and blunt trauma on the human body. Key medical terms are defined, and concepts like CNS stroke are addressed. The assignment covers various aspects of health and disease, including blood pressure, body mass index, cardiac output, and respiratory conditions like tachypnea, hypercapnia, and hypoxia. The document concludes with a detailed analysis of various health-related scenarios and their implications.

QUESTION 1
1.1 Cell structure
Cell structure is made up of 3 components. The cell or plasma membrane is the outermost
covering of cell which separates intercellular and extracellular material. Nucleus is innermost
and controlling part of cell and is formed by nuclear membrane. All cellular functions are
performed within cytoplasm which lies in between other two components.
1.2 Functions of cell
Cells provide growth, structure and support to organisms. They facilitate functions like
reproduction, metabolism, protein synthesis and replication of DNA. Cells are also responsible
for active and passive transportation of nutrients.
1.3 Cellular respiration
Biological processes within cells which produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) energy
from nutrients and molecules of food are known as cellular respiration. ATP is used to provide
energy to all other cellular functions.
1.4 Cell requirements for survival
Oxygen and glucose nutrients are important elements for the survival of cells. They are
required for cell respiration. Water is also required by cells for survival because it is essential in
removing the waste products from cells.
QUESTION 2
Cellular adaptation
It is defined as the reversible changes introduced by cells against variations in
environment to avoid injuries. The changes can be in terms of size, functionality or quantity.
QUESTION 3
Types of cellular adaptation
S.N. Type Description
1 Atrophy Cells decreases their functional components to reduce their size.
It is caused due to increased rate of protein degradation and

QUESTION 3
Types of cellular adaptation
S.N. Type Description
1 Atrophy Cells decreases their functional components to reduce their size.
It is caused due to increased rate of protein degradation and
1

lower metabolism which reduces protein synthesis.
2 Hyperplasia Within this adaptation, cell formation is increased and thus,
replication of cells occurs to increase the tissue size. It is caused
when hormonal and growth stimulation is in excess or after
resection.
3 Hypertrophy To increase the size of tissues, cells adapt to increase their
property. It occurs in permanent cells like skeletal, cardiac
muscles and nerves due to hypertension and intense physical
workouts.
4 Metaplasia In this type of cellular adaptation, tissues can replace each
other. Chronic irritation, vitamin A deficiency, bone and
cartilage formation as well as hematopoietic proliferation
exterior to bone marrow are the major causes for this
adaptation.

QUESTION 6
6.1 Pathophysiological changes in body due to Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is absorbed by the lungs and causes cellular and cardiac injury. It
also damages central nervous system due to hypoxia. It diffuses into haemoglobin and
completely binds with it and cause abnormalities in respiratory functions as well as myocardial
injuries. Carbon monoxide poisoning can also influence the brain tissues. As soon as it enters in
blood, it starts displacing the oxygen from blood due to its higher affinity as compared to
oxygen. CO also gives rise to increased growth of free radical which results in brain
demyelinization

QUESTION 7
7.1 Surgical insult
Surgical insults can significantly affect the immune system of human body. It also
generates greater risks of infections to various body parts. The weak immune system can give
rise to new diseases.
7.2 Penetrating trauma
This injury is caused when any object penetrates into body tissues due to piercing into the
skin. Head related trauma can cause death while chest penetrations can cause lung injuries, lung
and heart failures. Abdominal penetrating trauma can injure liver, profuse bleeding and dullness.
7.3 Blunt trauma
It is also called as non-penetrating trauma and is caused when blunt objects with great
force makes an injury. It can deform the organ structure and thus, leading to rupture of organs.
Blunt trauma may also lead to shearing and stretching of mobile joints like injuries to renal
arteries.
