in relation to the whole tertiary/secondary/primary prevention stuff...
Primary prevention - measures that attempt to prevent disease from occuring in everyone, regardless of risk factors i think. Like, as example of a primary prevention would be Slip Slop Slap, becuz it is trying to prevent skin cancer from developing in everyone.
Secodnary prevention - measures that focus on particular groups at risk of developing particular conditions. An example of a scondary prevention initiative would be the free breast screenings for people over 55, or something like that which is focussed on groups at high risk.
Tertiary prevention - measures aimed at preventing the recurrence of a condition, or at preventing a condition with hereditary risk. Things like rehabilitation and counselling and improved lifestyle tips from GP's are examples of tertiary i think.

Hope that helps a little bit, i am not completely confident with the whole prevention categories myself becuz we didnt do much in class but that was the general idea i got from what we did. Great idea with the MC q's by the way - i will post my answers in another post... ima bit unsure bout some of them so ima gonna have a good read over them first!

 

[ditzychick]

Damn it i just wrote out all my answers to dese q's and i accidently deleted em! :s!!!! Oh well - here goes again... i think a lot of them are wrong so some comments would be much appreciated.
1 - d
2 - d
3 - a
4 - d (but i really dont have a clue)
5 - b
6 - b
7 - c
8 - c
9 - b
10 - a
11 - d
12 - b

Well theres my answers... but i a certain a few of them are seriously wrong so if veryone else could put wot they reckon that'd be great!

 

[survivor]

well mine were pretty much the same excpet for
3. i dont know i thought it had to be c or d as it is the aerobic system??
4. maybe b not sure
and 7 not sure either

anyone else have their opinion

 

[ditzychick]

oh wow, i didn't even read question 3 properly! i just assumed it said anaerobic glycolysis cuz ive neva heard of aerobic glycolysis. I didnt know there was such a thing aren't there only three systems... ATP/PC, Lactic Acid (anaerobic glycolysis) and aerobic? I'm a bit confused now.

 

[chris42]

aerobic glycolysis is the process that happens in the aerobic system, so it is essentially the same as the aerobic energy system.

 

[ditzychick]

oooh thanks heaps!!! I will make sure i read the questions properly in the real thing... that was a bit of a wake up at least!!!

 

[chris42]

Yup, basically how anaerobic gylcogsis occurs in that instead of doing the whole process of the aerobic gylcogsis, the process get's stopped short, and as a result you get lactic acid as a waste product.

If you ever want to see a diagram how it works I got a good one, our teacher loved doing everything in detail

 

[countrydude]

You guys are lucky, our teacher didnt teash us everything, she left out nutrition and physilogical aduptations to tranin plus the class did the option "the health of young people" i didnt wona do that crap so i had to do sports med by myself she didnt help me at all, fuk she makes me wild. good luck in exams

 

[hec]

hi guys these are my answers without checking the textbook

1- d
2-d
3-d
4-b
5-d
6-no idea maybe b
7-a
8-c
9-b
10-a
11-a or b
12-b

im probably wrong with most of them but im fairly certain the aerobic glycolosis question was d- pyruvic acid rings a bell

if anyone is certain that i am wrong on any of these could you please correct me- it would be of great help

im terribly afrain of the mc section this year.......fingers crossed!

 

[ditzychick]

pyruvic acid is in anaaerobic glycolysis, its the stuff dat lactic acid is formed from or sumthin like that.... im not sure if its involved in aerobic glycolysis... but for some reason i dont think it is coz wouldn't there be no waste products if its in the aerobic system??? And pyruvic acid and lactic acid are waste products of lactic system? I duno... anyone?

 

[survivor]

so what would be the answer for it then?

 

[chris42]

I think 4. is B.. does anyone else think that.. Only reason is I think lung cancer for men is decreasing..

1- c
2-D
3-D
4-B
5-B
6-B
7-D
8-C
9-B
10-a
11-B
12-b

Just out of interest ditzychick where did you get these questions from ?

 

[ditzychick]

i didnt post the questions, survivor did. I havent seen them before, but i thought some of em were a lot harder than any of the practice exam mc questions i have done.

 

[kazerati]

um, for most of them, i was waaay confused, but:

thanks very very very much to ditzychik for the primary/secondary/tertiary prevention info - i hadnt come across that either!!

and:
q3 is definitely d - (i only know this coz i did the biochemistry of human movement option in chemistry, but u can work it out)
- bcoz: aerobic involves O2, so it cant be a or b, and, well, its a little tricky to explain, but here goes..
under aerobic conditions, the glucose is broken down to form pyruvate, which is then (by other cycles that we dont need to know about in the pd course) broken down (oxidised) to CO2 and H2O

but remember your energy systems!!! lactic acid is the by product of ANaerobic glycolysis - you get lactic acid when there is not enough oxygen around to fully break down the pyruvate (from the original glucose) into the CO2 and H2O. so, if your talking about AERobic anything, then there is PLENTY of oxygen. hence, c is wrong.

i hope this has been helpful!!

 

[kazerati]

as for the other answers...

1) b??? coz c is declining, a isnt really a prob, d..? declining??
2) d - thanx to ditzychik's info
3) d - as above..
4) b??? i dont kno about strokes or prostate cancer tho..
5) d
6) b
7) c
8) c
9) b
10) b
11) d
12) b
