Jаrrоd wаs аn active man whо was extremely interested in physical fitness. Running, gоing to the gym, and being outdoors were a major part of Jarrod’s life. When Jarrod became unable to complete a run or his weight exercises, he became worried. He was experiencing muscle weakness and fatigue more and more frequently in his daily life. Where Jarrod had once been able to go to the gym three days a week for weight training and lift one hundred sixty pounds, he was now lucky to lift seventy-five pounds for just one full repetition before his muscles were no longer able to continue. His doctor told him he had an autoimmune disorder called Myasthenia gravis where the body’s immune system attacks the skeletal muscle cells, making them respond slower to the nervous system and present weaker contractions. Jarrod didn’t understand what any of that meant so the doctor proceeded to explain to him the importance of the nerves and muscles working together. The neuromuscular junction is an important communication point in the human body. This junction illustrates how the nervous system and the muscular system use electric and chemical signals to communicate. This communication allows for our conscious control of skeletal muscles, so it's vital to our daily functions. For this junction to work we must first produce an action potential in a motor neuron. This action potential will propagate down an axon and cause voltage-gated calcium channels to open. The calcium ion will enter the presynaptic terminal and initiate the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The acetylcholine will be released by exocytosis and diffuse across the synapse and bind to ligand-gated sodium channels on the postsynaptic membrane (skeletal muscle). This will cause the ligand-gated sodium channels to open and allow sodium to enter the cell membrane of the skeletal muscle. Once threshold is passed, an action potential is generated along the cell membrane of the skeletal muscle. Muscle contraction will occur soon after. For the muscle to relax, acetylcholine must be removed from the sodium channels by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This will break down the acetylcholine into acetic acid and choline. The choline will be transported back into the terminal end of the axon and the acetic acid diffuses away from the synapse. The doctor proceeded to explain that in individuals with Myasthenia gravis, the person’s immune system attacks and destroys the ligand-gated sodium channels on the postsynaptic membrane of the skeletal muscle cell. With fewer ligand-gated sodium channels, it takes longer for the threshold to be met to generate an action potential and weakens the contraction strength of the muscle. Jarrod was shocked to learn that it was his own body that had caused the disease and to also learn that his condition was incurable. His doctor informed him that he could use corticosteroids and immunosuppressant medicines to prevent any further attacks, but the current damage was permanent. Jarrod would be unable to continue living as physically active as he had previously been, but in time he would learn the extent of his physical capabilities and slowly define a new normal for his life. The nervous system and the muscular system use what type of communication signals?

The Dive Center informs him that the package they are interested in will cost them both "three thousand one hundred and ninety rand". Write this amount out in numbers. (1) 2.3 Thulani takes his wife on a second honeymoon to England. As they go during the winter months, he calls his brother who lives there to find out what is the coldest it gets in England, so he can prepare. His brother let him know the temperature had dropped to 26 degrees Celsius below freezing. Write down this temperature as a number. (1) 2.4 Simplify the following sum using BODMAS (sequence of operations): 6 (5 + 6) - 12 (30 ÷ 6) ÷ 3 (4) 2.5 Round off the following values to the given quantity as indicated in brackets: 2.5.1. 1234,999 (to one decimal place) (1) 2.5.2. 1 478 738 948 (to the nearest ten million) (1) 2.6 Pete looks in the back of the cupboard and sees the bottle of Drink-O-Pop and OROS. He sees the ratio of the Drink-O-Pop says 4:16 and the OROS says 8:24. His mom tells him that he should mix both using the OROS’ ratio as the two ratios are eqivalent to each other. He disagrees. Who do you agree with? Support your answer with calculations. (5) 2.7 If Keneilwe reads at 200 words per minute, how many minutes will it take her to read 450 words?
