Question 17

Complete this table with information about the interrelations between two different body systems. The first one has been done for you.

Answer

Body system and function	Body system	Interrelationship
Cardiovascular: The cardiovascular system is responsible for transporting blood throughout the body. It works in conjunction with the respiratory system to help move oxygen throughout the body.	Integumentary	The cardiovascular system controls sweat production.
Musculoskeletal: The musculoskeletal system incorporates two major systems: the muscular system and the skeletal system. The skeleton asks as a frame for the body’s tissue and skin – the muscles make ambulation and movement possible.	Reproductive
Endocrine: One of the major functions of the body’s systems is to keep the body in balance. The medical term that describes the processes used to regulate the body is homeostasis. One of the systems that play a major role in homeostasis is the endocrine system.	Respiratory
Digestive: The digestive system breaks down food into energy and basic nutrients. The food is broken down into simple forms, such as glucose, amino acids and protein. This converted food is then absorbed into the blood stream from the small intestine and nutrients are carried to the cells throughout the body.	Urinary
Respiratory: The respiratory system is responsible for ensuring the body has sufficient oxygen intake to oxygenate the blood and that it expels carbon dioxide.	Musculoskeletal
Nervous: The nervous system is responsible for communicating information received by the senses to the brain. It is responsible for processing information and communicating required responses to the muscles and bones.	Immune
Integumentary: The integumentary system is made up of the skin, glands, hair and nails. This system plays a number of roles. The skin in particular acts as a barrier protecting internal organs, helps make use of vitamin D and is a major organ that allows us to sense heat, cold, sharp surfaces and other environmental factors.

Mrs Hampshire has now been in the facility for 10 weeks. During this time, Mrs Hampshire has gradually improved in her health status. Regular physiotherapy sessions have maintained the muscle tone of the affected side of her body and she has been able use an electric wheelchair, which has increased her level of social interaction and physical mobility.

On admission, communication was noted to be a problem for Mrs Hampshire and was also contributing to her depression and isolation. A communication board was used and Mrs Hampshire also communicated via written words on a notepad, though this was difficult as she was previously left-handed.

Improvement in her speech through regular speech therapy sessions has also meant that Mrs Hampshire is able to communicate her needs more easily.

Mrs Hampshire still requires a special diet. By recording how much Mrs Hampshire is eating and drinking, it is found that she is not taking adequate fluids. After discussion with the supervisor and Mrs Hampshire’s daughter, a plan is made for Mrs Hampshire’s daughter to give her extra fluid after lunch each day. Her daughter also remembers that her mother doesn’t like coffee or tea but prefers chocolate. Mrs Hampshire’s fluid is changed to chocolate milk and the fluid intake increases to a healthy level.
