Scenario
Everybody Breathes – Everybody Eats
Health and Fitness Exhibition.
We all know that if we don’t eat or don’t breathe we will not survive. But what exactly is going on inside our body that make these processes so important to maintaining life. Come along to the exhibition and discover the structure and function of not only the cells and tissues involved, but how they form organs and body systems that have to interact to ensure that the body can provide the conditions necessary for thought, movement, growth and development. These systems could so easily spin out of control with disastrous results to our health, so come along and explore the homeostatic mechanisms that ensure stability of conditions within the body.
Following the exhibition there will be an exercise class with a difference! Your instructor will test your fitness levels and help you to understand what is happening in your body during exertion and why.
To be held at The Taunton Academy on 3rd February 2013
Places are limited, so what are you waiting for? Book today!
You are to prepare for the exhibition by producing posters, displays, booklets and handouts and by carrying out a fitness check on an individual. Remember that those attending will be non- specialists so you will need to ensure that you explain everything clearly.

Task 3: Body systems
Assessment Criterion P3
You have now been asked to prepare a series of diagrams for a display explaining how the body works. Produce annotated diagrams that provide a detailed outline of all the main body systems and their general function.
The gross structure of body systems:
o Cardiovascular – heart, arteries, veins, capillaries
o Respiratory
o Digestive
o Renal
o Nervous –central nervous system and peripheral nerves
o Endocrine –thyroid, pituitary, pancreas, adrenals, testes/ovaries
o Reproductive – both genders
o Musculoskeletal – a named joint, antagonistic muscles around a named joint
o Section through a bone
o Skin
Main functions of systems: Overall function of each system shown above plus those of the lymphatic and immune systems

The evidence for this task will be:
A series of diagrams that outline the gross structure of all main body systems (P3)
Task 4: Energy Metabolism
Assessment Criterion P4, M1, D1
You have been asked to prepare a booklet for people at the exhibition to take away with them when the leave. The booklet needs to explain the functioning of the body systems associated with energy metabolism. You should choose two systems to include in the booklet.
Energy metabolism: Role of energy in the body; anabolism and catabolism the significance of ATP cellular respiration and its by-product endothermy of mammals muscle action protein synthesis
The roles of the cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive systems in supplying the necessary molecules and in removing by-products
Cardiovascular system – cardiac cycle, heart rate, role of pacemaker, blood pressure, pulmonary and systemic circulation, formation of tissue fluid Respiratory system – Inspiration, expiration, gaseous exchange Digestive system – role in digestion and absorption of nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats and nucleic acids); role of enzymes (amylases, proteases, lipases and nucleases); products of digestion (amino acids, sugars, glycerol and fatty acids, nucleotides), their absorption and subsequent roles in metabolism; the storage of excess fats and carbohydrates; deamination of excess proteins and the fate of end products; roles of the liver kidneys

Task 6: Interpreting data obtained from an individual
Assessment Criterion P6, M3
You need to prepare yourself to carry out tests related to homeostasis and includes practical work and a written report. Firstly, carry out an activity based on a standard period of exercise, observing health and safety considerations. Collect data for heart rate, breathing rate and temperature before and after a standard period of exercise. Secondly, produce a report of the data collected from the standard period of exercise using tables and/or graphs. Interpret your findings and include comments about the validity and reliability of the data.
HINT: You need to include a moderate level of exertion for learners carried out for a period of 10-15 minutes, subject to individual capabilities. You should take measurements before the exercise, immediately after the exercise is over and two or three further readings in the first five minutes of the recovery period, and then at longer intervals until readings have returned to pre- exercise levels.
Measurements: pulse rate, breathing rate, temperature, blood pressure; normal values and ranges; safe practice and recognition of factors affecting reliability of measurements
Normal variation: resting values, values after exercise, recovery times
Data presentation: graphs, charts interpretations/explanations of collated data.
