Explain the pathophysiology of the alterations, including changes that occur in at least two body systems.

/in /by

During the last 5 weeks, you have explored various body systems: neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematological. These four systems work together along with other body systems to complete a myriad of functions. For this reason, when disorders occur within one body system, it can create potentially devastating effects throughout the entire body. For instance, Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system, yet its alterations actually affect multiple body systems from the cardiovascular system to the gastrointestinal system. In this Assignment, you examine alterations associated with disorders, as well as the impact of the alterations on multiple body systems.
To prepare:
From the list below, select a disorder of interest to you:
Alzheimer’s disease
Asthma in children
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Congestive heart failure
Hepatic disease (liver disease)
Hypertension
Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
Seizures
Sepsis
Identify alterations associated with your selected disorder. Consider the pathophysiology of the alterations. Think about how these alterations produce pathophysiological changes in at least two body systems.
Reflect on how patient factors such as genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior might impact the pathophysiology of the alterations you identified, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of your selected disorder.
Review the “Mind maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct a mind map for the disorder you selected. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of your selected disorder.
To complete:
Develop a 5- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:
Describe your selected disorder, as well as associated alterations. Explain the pathophysiology of the alterations, including changes that occur in at least two body systems.
Explain how genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior might impact the pathophysiology of the alterations you identified, as well as diagnosis and treatment of your selected disorder.
Construct a mind map for the disorder you selected. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology of alterations, risk factors, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of the disorder.

Visit a local museum (e.g. Museum of Science or MCZ), aquarium (e.g. NEA), zoo (e.g. Stone Zoo) or similar educational facility and provide photographic documentation of your attendance (and, if allowable, of an animal or small group of closely related* animals on display there). If you are not able to photograph your animal(s) of interest, please find a photograph on the internet (provide web address and credits as needed). *animals may be related based on phylogeny, habitat requirements, etc – please provide an explanation for why you chose the group rather than a single species. Carefully describe the life history, taxonomic classification, environmental requirements, major predators, feeding strategy, geographic range, conservation status, and value to human society, as well as any other facts of interest to you regarding this (these) animal(s) . Describe in detail several aspects of the biology of the organism(s) related specifically to its (their) physiology. Site all appropriate references and be sure to include a minimum of five primary papers that focus specifically on the physiology of your chosen animal(s). Include with your final paper submission, abstracts from the five most important (to your paper) primary papers.
