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.

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.

...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...
