The following relevant and concise information must (if pertinent) be included in your write up. Topic selection is within the systems being covered in the course (Neuro, Muscular, Skeletal)
Name of disease -Autism
History of the disease
Description of disease
Anatomy of the system(s) involved
Effects on other body systems
Cause of disease
Signs and symptoms
Diagnosis of the disease
Complications, if any
Treatment and side effects
Conclusion should include the following:
Brief mention of current or proposed research that may significantly impact the
disease.
Prevention strategies if any
Your insight / opinion
NOTE: you must focus on the anatomy & physiology of the disease/disorder. Cover
the normal anatomy & physiology of the organ system affected and then state what the
disease/disorder does to this organ system, and other organ systems. In other words, if
you are picking meningitis, I do not want you to go too much in detail about the
bacteria that causes it but how the bacteria escapes our body’s defenses and what the
bacteria does to other tissues.
