[Sticky] ITEC A&P Past Exam Paper

RE: ITEC A+P MArch 2007! 🙂 hope this helps guys

For question 18, the answer is carbohydrates.
The first soucrce of energy used is glucose, which is a simple sugar/carbohydrate (a monosaccharide). As you use up the glucose available, the hormone glucagon causes glycogen (how glucose is stored) to be converted back to glucose and fats to be broken down.

For question 27, the answer is proteins.
Both fats and carbohydrates are made up of the elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and come under the general name of (organic) hydocarbons. Proteins however ALL contain nitrogen and can contain sulphur among other things. Thus proteins are the only inorganic option.

Hi does anyone have any more up to date questions from ITEC or are they all very similar? Your help is much appreciated.

hi i have my exam in january and am hoping some of these questions come up as have revised them so much. thanks alot

Itec a&p 2013

Hi everyone,

Are these ITEC A&P questions still relevant to papers in 2013? I have my exam in a few days time. Thank you!

Hi there,

I've recently passed my ITEC A&P and Level 3 Swedish Massage Course. I'd like to share with you my assignment on Principles and Practice of Complementary Therapies which is unit 384.

This is just a sample of description of 1 complementary therapy:

IRIDOLOGY
ORIGIN & DEVELOPMENT
Dr. Ignatz von Peczely - Founder of Iridology The true originator of Iridology was a Hungarian physician named Ignatz von Peczely. At 11 years of age Dr. von Peczely noticed an owl in a tree in his backyard. He tried to catch the owl. He accidentally broke one of the owl's legs. He then noticed a dark stripe develop in the lower part of the owl's iris. Dr. von Peczely dressed the owl's leg and nursed it back to health and let it go. However, the owl stayed around and later he noticed the appearance of white and crooked lines in the part of the iris where the dark stripe had been. Thus, The Birth of Iridology was about 1861.

Iridology is an alternative medicine technique. Iridologists by observing patterns, colours, and other characteristics of the iris can determine information about a patient's systemic health. Practitioners match their observations to iris charts, which divide the iris into zones that correspond to specific parts of the human body. Iridologists see the eyes as "windows" into the body's state of health.

Iridologists can use the charts to distinguish between healthy systems and organs in the body and those that are overactive, inflamed, or distressed. This information demonstrates a patient's susceptibility towards certain illnesses, reflects past medical problems, or predicts later health problems.

THERAPY OBJECTIVES
Iridology is used as more of a diagnostic tool than a treatment. It is not a medical exam or a definitive diagnosis of disease. Rather, it proposes to recognize:

• Toxins and their locations
• Stages of inflammation
• Inherent weakness or strength
• General health level
• Biochemical deficiencies

In reading the iris to gain insight to the body there are several characteristics that are studied. These include, but are not limited to layers, colours, rings and spots.

After consultation, the Iridologist may make suggestions regarding the individuals’ diet to help improve the functions of organs which are recognised for needing a boost.

TRAINING REQUIRED
There are several institutions which offer degree programs in natural or holistic medicine, and some institutions offer certificate or diploma programs in iridology. Obtaining iridology certification from a nationally recognized board, may provide workers with the credentials needed for licensing or registration for example with The Guild which is the leading professional body for qualified iridologists in the UK. One of the Guild’s accredited Collages are: The College of Holistic Iridologists in Cambridge, The College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, and The College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ireland.

LEGAL OBLIGATIONS
All therapists once registered by appropriate organization and choosing suitable insurance are eligible to carry out treatments. If keeping client’s records details on the computer, the therapist will also need to register with the data protection act. All consultation cards should be kept for a minimum of 7 years.

GOOD CLINICAL PRACTICE
The first consultation usually lasts from one to two hours. During the first visit a photograph of each eye is taken and developed. From these pictures a very thorough assessment reveals the client’s health status which is completed and discussed with them. The client should be asked to complete a brief questionnaire. Finally, recommendations that will improve the client’s health are discussed and written out, so the client can take them home along with photographs of the eyes.

I hope you will find it useful
