Analysis of Body Response, Medical Conditions and Routine Care

This report provides an analysis of body responses to everyday physical activities, detailing the physiological changes at the cellular and tissue levels, including the roles of the respiratory, nervous, and endocrine systems. It examines the impact of aging and specific medical conditions, such as ...Read More

TASK 2 AND 4

Explanation of normal body response to everyday physical
activities
 muscles grow bigger and stronger.
 increasing breathing rate.
 More oxygen is circulated by heart
 growth of new blood vessels

 the efficiency of digestive system
improves.
 Water and other nutrients are better
reabsorbed making the body hydrated
 the cells of brain which start functioning
at a higher level.

Explanation of body responses by cellular and tissue
structure
Tissue
Tissue
 function of adipose tissue also alters.
 the flow of blood is stimulated towards
adipose tissue in the body.
 stimulation of fat mobilization also takes
place.
Cellular
 more active cells.
 Changes are observed in cellular respiration
 oxygen is used up by muscle cells

Coordination of internal
activities of body
Role of skin
 maintains the temperature of the body within
limits.
 helps in conserving heat
Role of kidneys
 removal of excess salts, water and other waste
products.
 blood absorb the water and nutrients that are of
use for the body
 regulating the amounts of water as well as many
other essential minerals within the body.
 helps in plasma regulation.

Role of endocrine system
 responsible for producing hormones.
 These at a chemical messengers
 The hormones reach their target organ
and cause its stimulation.
Central nervous system
 Spinal cord coordinates internal activities
by bringing automatic reflex actions
(Harris, 2004).


Autonomic nervous system
 help in regulating the internal
organs of the body.
 post ganglionic axonal processes of
motor neurons lead to innervation of
organs and tissues throughout the body


How age affected body structure
and functioning of Mary
 Respiratory system:
 impaired effective cough due to which
airway clearance is obstructed.
 resulted into loss in the forced vital lung
capacity.

 Nervous system:
 The nerves suffer breakdown due to
which there is loss of sensation due to
lost reflexes. This causes the problems of
movement and stability.
 In the given case, Mary may fear falling
because of the impact that age had on
her nervous system.

Impact of above mentioned condition on body
 As the strength of the respiratory muscle decreases,
it would make breathing difficult for Mary.
 Impaired nervous system which leads to loss of
sensations impacts Mary's Body.
 It leads to difficult movement and stability and
inculcates the fear of falling.
 As Mary was a diabetic, the structure and functioning
of her body may also have been affected by
abnormal glucose level in the blood.
 This would have been the reason for dizziness that
Mary suffered from. It may also be possible that the
position sense in her feet was reduced due to
diabetic neuropathy.

relating the effects of medical
condition of Mary to her routine care
 As Mary suffers from diabetes, her
routine care would involve regular
monitoring of glucose level in the blood.
 It would also involve medications and
appropriate diet plan so that the sugar
levels can be brought to normal

 Further, osteoarthritis would have made
it painful and difficult for Mary to move.
In order to deal with this condition,
routine care for Mary would consist of
physiotherapy as well a provision of
walking aid such as Walker. This will help
in preventing falls.
