iBSc: Question 5 By Alan McLeod
Getting the best marks Read the whole question – a latter section may give you a clue about an earlier one. To see how many points you need look at the marks allocated – for example a 3 point question is generally looking for 3 salient points If giving a list answer put the best answers first – examiners will not usually mark answers too far down a list Always write something – it may get you part of a mark and is anonymised so no one will think you are stupid! If you genuinely have no clue then re-write the question to see if this sparks some ideas. If not then move on and come back at the end. And remember – always write something. Good luck!
Question 5 Mrs McCartney, a 52 year old woman has been getting pains in her finger joints. She think it may be ‘arthritis, like my mum had’ Q5.1 • Outline the gate-control theory of pain (6) Q5.2 • Compare rheumatoid and osteoarthritis in terms of the joints affected (5)
Question 5 This disease affects synovial joints Q5.3 • What part of the joint does Rheumatoid arthritis affect (1) Q5.4 • Draw and label a synovial joint (5)
Question 5 One of the essential components of a synovial joint is cartilage which is made from collagen Q5.5 • Describe how collagen is formed (8)
Question 5 The pain is inflammatory in cause in rheumatoid arthritis Q5.7 • List four other symptoms / signs of inflammation (2)

The End The slides here should allow you to mark your own work – remember 1 mark per answer* up to the maximum for the question. Multiply by 3 to get percentage points. I assume a 60% pass mark. Sorry but I am unable to give further advice on answers due to time constraints.
