Q1-Complete the chart using accurate terminology.

Regions of nervous tissue that contain mostly nerve cell bodies.

Sara is a healthy 20-year-old and is running in an American 5km charity fundraiser. Her body’s demand for oxygen has increased and the amount of carbon dioxide her body is producing has increased. Her respiratory system will play a vital role in ensuring she successfully completes this race. Assume normal physiology and anatomy in addressing the specific questions below.

(word limit for this section: 250)

Sara has started the race and her breathing has settled into a pattern.  

Q2- Explain the mechanical and physiological process happening as she breathes in and out. Include in your answer, the two brain structures that make up the respiratory control centres and the name of the two nerves that regulate the activity of the respiratory muscles in this process

QUESTION THREE [20]

Implementation of any change programme needs to take account of the restraining forces of change. Managers should anticipate some employee resistance and plan for this eventuality in the change strategy (Brown, 2011:171)

3.1 Explain the difference between “overt’ and “covert” resistance and discuss the reasons why change is resisted in organisations. (10)

3.2 Discuss the ways in which resistance to change can be mitigated.
