Name the hormones that regulate bone turnover and explain how the body maintains homeostasisof these hormones?1c. Briefly describe the process of bone remodeling and include the key elements required in the processand the interaction between the organic components/cells and hormones.~OR~Question 2Mr T. is a 21-year-old male who recently had a diving accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury. Soonafter the injury occurred, Mr T was moved to a spinal rehabilitation ward. It has been 12 weeks since theinjury and Mr T. has noticed that his gastrocnemius muscles have significantly reduced in size.2a.

Identify which spinal region this injury is likely to have affected?2c. Describe why this particular injury causes the muscle to get smaller in size?MODULE 2: DIGESTION AND METABOLISM ASSESSABLE QUESTIONSQuestion 1 Mr J. is a 46-year-old man who recently visited his GP for a general check up. He drinks 6-8beers per day and his diet consists primarily of takeaway food. His blood test results indicate that he haselevated liver enzyme levels and his GP told him that he wanted to do further testing as an elevation inhis liver enzymes are suggestive of the development of a fatty liver.1a.

Name and describe 2 other vital functions the liver performs in relation to digestion that may becompromised by fatty liver disease.~OR~Question 2Mrs K, a 48-year-old female, has been concerned about her health, as she had gained a lot of weight andsometimes experiences dizziness. She made an appointment with her GP to have a general check up.Her results indicate that she is pre-diabetic.

Discuss how long it takes for a typical meal to completely absorb and what is happening to bloodglucose during this time?2b. How is blood glucose regulated by the body? Name the organs and hormones involved.2c. What should Mrs K.’s blood glucose level range be prior to exercise? Explain what would happen ifher blood glucose level fell below this range.2016MODULE 3: OXYGENATION- CARDIOVASCULAR AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS ASSESSABLE QUESTIONSQuestion 1.

His GP suggests thathe monitor his blood pressure at home and Mr B. purchased his own monitor.1a. Describe the baroreceptor reflexes that occur in response to high blood pressure and theirinteraction with cardiac output and vascular resistance.1b. What postural change would decrease blood pressure?1c. Name three key hormones involved in blood pressure regulation.~OR~Question 2. Miss L. is a 32-year-old female who recently hiked Everest Base Camp, she had trained for along time in the Blue Mountains however her breathing and ability was greatly affected by the hike inNepal.2a. Name and define the most likely respiratory effect of altitude on Miss L.2b. Describe how the body would compensate in order to restore homeostasis when exposed to anenvironment with decreased oxygen/atmospheric pressure?2c. Why would athletes want to simulate high altitude environments? Describe how this would benefitthem physiologically?2016MODULE 4: IMMUNITY AND MICROBES ASSESSABLE QUESTIONS Question 1 Master H, a 4-year-old boy, recently received a vaccination to protect against whoopingcough. This vaccination will help provide specific immunity against whooping cough.1a. What was injected into Master H in order to illicit specific immunity against whooping cough?1b. What distinguishes adaptive (specific immunity) from innate (non-specific immunity)?1c. Describe how immunological memory works in relation to vaccinations?~OR~Question 2: Mrs M. is an 84-year-old female who lives in an aged care facility.
