Q. 1 In terms of human systems design and Modeling, discuss the three sub-stages of the
According Human system design and modeling the Stage Advanced Development have
three sub-stages, namely: the allocation of requirements; trade-off and optimization, and
Allocation of Requirements: The various factors are given to the various sub-systems and
component units.
Trade-off and Optimization: Since many designs may satisfy fixed limits, the HF engineer
Detailed Design Specifications: The HF engineer will now be able to define a set of detailed
Q. 2: The neurons in the CNS are well organized into numerous different circuits; discuss
The neurons in CNS are organized in various circuit and some of the most important are:
The diverging circuit, allows a signal from an incoming fiber to stimulate many neurons;
The converging circuit, is one in which signals from many sources in the brain must act
pathway; one neuron stimulates another, then another, and so on until it gets back to the
first.
Q. 3: Regarding Health and Safety Issues, discuss Managing the Red Zone.
The Red Zone is the part of the day in which degraded endurance may have a negative impact and
can also occur around 3 pm, and also can refer to the night time when people are asleep. The most
Since Red Zone depends on energy level, it is important to understand how energy is produced,
how it effects endurance, and how it increases or decreases. Production of molecules called
adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), found in all cells of the body, plays a key role in producing energy.
In order for ATP to be produced in the body a chemical reaction has to occurs and it depends on
various factors such as good diet, adequate hydration, oxygen and, sufficient sleep.
If the body does not produce enough ATP, the CNS and brain cannot function properly and it can
So it is important to have a good diet, proper hydration, enough sleep time in order to manage the
Red Zone.
