Explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. Energy is the strength and ability that is required in order to perform physical or mental activities. There are different forms of energy these consist of: magnetic‚ kinetic‚ heat‚ light‚ gravitational‚ chemical‚ sound‚ electrical‚ elastic and nuclear. The law‚ conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy within a system remains constant at all times‚ although energy within the system can be

Outcome 1- Understand anatomy and physiology in relation to moving and positioning individuals 1. The anatomy and physiology are important in relation to the correct moving and positioning of individuals as the anatomy is the physical structure of the body and the physiology is the functions of the body. When working with people with limited or reduced mobility‚ care workers must be aware that client’s movements may be slower and more difficult‚ with muscles becoming weak and floppy. Therefore

Session 9: The Nervous System - Assignment #2 PhysioEx Assignment : Exercise 3 Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses Activity 1: The Resting Membrane Potential 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. Increasing the extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value because when K+ ions diffuse out across the membrane they are leaving behind a net negative charge. 2. Explain
