Elderly people are also especially susceptible to developing water imbalances because the sensitivity of their thirst mechanisms decreases with age and physical disabilities may make if difficult for them to obtain adequate fluids. The treatment for dehydration is to replace the lost of water and electrolytes. If only water

Unit introduction This unit introduces core knowledge of cellular structure and function‚ and the organisation of the body as a whole‚ and then builds on this to develop a more detailed knowledge of the fine anatomy and physiology of the systems involved in energy metabolism. Learners will examine the homeostatic mechanisms involved in regulating these systems to maintain health. Learners
