...task 1 – INTRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS: Please provide a flow diagram with commentary (including specific examples) on the organisation of the human body. You must include cells, tissues, body organs and systems. Any images used must be sourced. The human body is extremely complex and contains different systems which work alongside each other but complete diverse tasks to keep our body’s functioning. Chemical level– is the simplest level within the structural hierarchy. The chemical level includes the tiniest building blocks of matter, atoms, which combine to form molecules, like water. In turn, molecules combine to form organelles, the internal organs of a cell. Cellular level – the cellular level is made up of the smallest unit of living matter, the cell. The individual cells may have some common functions but vary widely in size and shape. Each type of cell carries out a set of unique tasks within the human body. Tissue level – tissues are groups of similar cells that have a common function. A tissue must contain two different types of cells. The four basic tissue types in humans include epithelium, connective, muscle and nervous tissue. Each tissue has a characteristic role that is vital in the complete function of the human body. Organ level – an organ is a structure composed of at least two different tissue types that perform a specific function within the body. Examples of this include the brain, stomach and liver. Complex functions begin to emerge at...

While behaviour is obvious, a person's thoughts and feelings are not as obvious. Gerard Egan wrote his own book named 'The Skilled Helper'. The book recommends that people and it also helps to improve your communication skills when put in a situation with others. This acronym is SOLER. use an acronym to help assess other people’s communication The S stands for sitting squarely – It is important to do this when you are interacting with an individual because you can look directly at them and it shows them that you are listening and are interested in what they have to say. The O stands for open posture – It is important to have open body posture when you are interacting with an individual. This means not sitting or standing up with your arms folded across your chest as this can give off signals that you are defensive or are anxious. Having an open posture makes the individual feel more welcome and comfortable to share their problems/concerns. The L stands for leaning forward when necessary - It is important that you lean forwards when necessary when communicating to an individual because it shows them that you are interested in what they are talking about and that you are listening. It may be possible that the person may be sharing personal issues so they may speak in a...

...Taking part in a group discussion involves the same issues as one to one communication as well as some additional issues. Group communication: Communication in groups can also be influenced by the degree to which people feel they belong together. One of the best-known theorists to explain group information stages is Tuckman. (1965) Tuckman suggested that most groups go through a process involving four stages. These are: * Forming * Storing * Norming * Performing Tuckman’s theory focuses on the way a group of people work to become a team. The first stage is about how people meet for the first time and when they share information. The second stage involves tension, struggle and sometimes arguments about how the group may function. The third stage is about the group coming together and agreeing on their group values. Group values are when group members share a common system of beliefs or values in order for the group to communicate and perform effectively. Once they have established their common expectations and values, the group will reach the fourth stage of being an effective performing group. Furthermore, the theory SOLER was created by a man ‘Egan’. His theory shows that basic non-verbal communication can help make a person feel involved and cared for when working with another person. SOLER is a non-verbal listening method that is used commonly in communication. SOLER means: S: Face squarely; by doing this it shows that a service provider is involved...

For example in a kitchen when staffs are placing foods in fridges and cupboards, they must ensure that the dates of the foods are up to date and checked properly. All food premises must be clean and free from rubbish, all equipment must be clean and good hygiene practices should be observed at all times.

...P2. Outline the structure of the main tissues in the human body. A tissue is a group of similar cells. An organ contains different tissues, that work together to carry out different functions. The four main types of tissues are: 1) Epithelial tissue 2) Nervous tissue 3) Muscle tissue 4) Connective tissue Epithelial Tissues. This is located on the internal and external body cavities and surfaces, including tubes and channels (ducts), carrying discharge from glands. They may be made by several layers of cells, which is called compound Epithelia or a single layer is called simple Epithelia. The lower/bottom part of the cell layer is attached to the basement membrane for support/connections. There are nerve supplies to the epithelia but they are provided by diffusion. As they are on the surface, their volume to growth is a lot quicker than other tissues. Simple Epithelia. Simple Epithelia is one thick layer of tissue made from cells, it can be one of these three different shapes: 1. Squamous 2. Cuboidal 3. Columnar Squamous are found in: * Lung alveoli. * Blood capillaries. * Bowman’s capsule of nephrons. Cuboidal can be found in: * Kidney tubules. * Sweat ducts. * Glands that are like the thyroid gland. * Breast tissue.

...P2 Case Study 1 – Jane has recently been diagnosed with agoraphobia after she was mugged whilst on her way to town. She has been referred to the community mental health team and following an assessment has been referred to the behavioural therapist within the team. She is undergoing systematic desensitisation as a form of treatment for her phobia. The behaviourism approach is applied to this case study. According to the behaviourism approach, Jane would receive systematic desensitization by using a hierarchy of fear that is created according to her phobia. This is a method that is used to help reduce an individual’s phobia, making them feel relieved and calm. It involves ranking their fear in the hierarchy from least fearful to most fearful. According to Jane’s phobia, her least fearful behaviour would be thinking about a dark room and her most fearful behaviour would be walking inside a dark room. Throughout this hierarchy, it may take Jane a long time for her fear to go away, depending on how strong her phobia is. It would also take...
