1. Physiological disorders and their care
Introduction to Unit 14
Physiological disorders and their care

2. By the end of this week you will…
…know the main Human body systems and the common diseases which affect them …have chosen TWO disorders from DIFFERENT body systems …understand how these disorders affect the functioning of the body system …know the main causes of your TWO disorders …have written this section up in your Assignment Task: Causes and Effects of Disease

3. Human Body Organs How many human body organs can you name?
Make a list…
What function or job do they carry-out in the body?

4. Human Body Systems
To survive and reproduce, the human body relies on major internal body organs to perform certain vital functions.
Each organ has a specific role which contributes to the overall wellbeing of the human body.
A group of organs whose jobs are closely related are often referred to as a system.

5. Human Body Drawing
Can you draw these 8 major body organs onto the human outline?
Brain, lungs, heart, liver, stomach, kidneys, large intestine, small intestine.
Consider location, size and shape of the organs!
Label them
Label the role of each?

6. Human Body Drawing Similarities / differences between posters?
3 questions that arose from completing the drawings – Post-it notes
Worksheet – label each organ and write their role in the body

7. Human Body Systems For each organ – identify diseases and conditions
What are the signs and symptoms of these disorders?
Which factors cause to these disorders?
Do you know any treatments for each?
Identify diseases and conditions commonly associated with each major organ, such as heart attack, asthma, stomach ulcer, etc. Discuss contributing factors to these, such as inherited conditions. Explore how medicine has developed effective treatments for many of these, for example transplants, mechanical hearts and medication.

8. Treatment received and setting Effect on physical and emotional health
Group discussion
Have you ever been ill?
Have you needed treatment?
Have you ever been admitted to hospital?
Pair / triplet work have you been ill? Needed treatment, been admitted to hospital?
Poster responses: table under headings: signs and symptoms, treatment received effects on physical and emotional health
Illness
Signs and symptoms
Treatment received and setting
Effect on physical and emotional health

10. Physiological disorders
The types of physiological disorders that affect body system functioning include:
Endocrine system disorders, e.g. type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Nervous system disorders, e.g. Parkinson’s disease
Musculoskeletal system disorders, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis
Respiratory system disorders, e.g. asthma
Circulatory system disorders, e.g. coronary heart disease

Mini Whiteboard

12. Assignment time! Disorder 1:
Which main body system is affected by the disorder you have chosen?
Using a labelled diagram, what is the overall purpose / job of this body system?
What are the main organs?
How does it work step-by-step?

13. Extension
Disorder 1:
Which other body systems are also affected by this disorder – how?

14. Assignment time! Repeat for Disorder 2:
Keep the two Disorder sections separate at this stage
But in same Word document

15. What CAUSES disease?
How many causes of human body disease can you think of?
Make a list…
Can you group them into categories?

16. CAUSES of disease Group work
Inherited traits
Lifestyle choices
Diet
Environment
Explain HOW and WHY your factor causes disease.
Give examples of disorders caused by your factor.

17. CAUSES of disease (1) Inherited traits Lifestyle choices
disorders caused by genetics run in the family e.g. sickle cell anaemia, downs syndrome
Lifestyle choices
choices an individual makes about their life e.g. smoking cigarettes, drug misuse

18. CAUSES of disease (2) Diet Environment
disorders caused by the consumption or lack of food. e.g. obesity, dietary deficiency

19. CAUSES of disease judging
Rate each poster: Distinction: lots of very useful information, clearly presented and eye catching Merit: good information which will be useful for my assignment but I will need to do more Pass: a basic introduction to the topic

20. What are the CAUSES of your TWO disorders?
What are the main causes of your TWO disorders?
Are they known?
What are the risk factors?
Are there any less common causes?

21. Assignment time! Disorder 1:
What are the main causes of your disorder?
Are they known?
What are the risk factors?

22. Extension
Disorder 1:
Are there any less common causes of this disorder?

23. Assignment time! Repeat for Disorder 2:
Keep the two Disorder sections separate at this stage
But in same Word document
