Three major body systems: cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive.

Setting the scene

Your school is holding a Sports Fair to show the different sporting activities available in your area and the benefits of sport to young people. Your Health and Social Care group

has been asked to prepare information packs to include an A4 poster and booklet to give visitors.

These will provide knowledge and understanding of: • the workings of the human body • disorders that affect body systems • how important body functions can be measured. In addition, you will take some body systems measurements of one of the sports teams at

school and present the results.

Read through all of the tasks carefully, so that you know what you will need to do to complete this assignment.

1. Prepare an A4 poster on: • Structure and function of the cardiovascular

system

Ensure you include ALL of the following points

Title: LO2 – Understand disorders that affect body systems

Tasks:

4. Create an information booklet/ word document on: • Describe the symptoms of at least ONE disorder of the

cardiovascular system • Explain how the disorder is diagnosed

5. Create an information booklet/ word document on: • Describe the symptoms of at least ONE disorder of the

respiratory system • Explain how the disorder is diagnosed

6. Create an information booklet/ word document on: • Describe the symptoms of at least ONE disorder of the

digestive system • Explain how the disorder is diagnosed

Questions to think about and answer for each body system…

• What is the disorder? • What can cause the disorder? • What symptoms does the disorder give the person with it? • How do you diagnose the disorder? • What is the treatment and how does the treatment get rid of the symptoms?

Title: LO3 - Be able to interpret data obtained from measuring body rates with reference to the functioning of healthy body systems

For these tasks you have to carry the 3 tests out on another

person and get results

Pulse rate:

• What is it? • How is it calculated (bpm) • What should an average resting heart rate be of an adult be? • How do the results you have collected compare to the resting heart rate norms? • What is recovery rate? • How do the results you have collected compare to the recovery rate norms? • Is the person you have collected results for healthy (cardiovascular system working well), if not

how does it affect their body and how can they improve this?

Example

Test for the cardiovascular

system

Peak flow:

• What is it? • How is it calculated • What should an average peak flow be for the age of your participant? • How do the results you have collected compare to the peak flow norm? • Is the person you have collected results for healthy (respiratory system working well), if not how

does it affect their body and how can they improve this?

Example

Test for the respiratory system

BMI (Body Mass Index):

• What is it? • How is it calculated? • How do the results you have collected compare to the BMI norm for your participants height? • Is the person you have collected results for healthy (digestive system working well), if not how

does it affect their body and how can they improve this?
