- This conceptual exercise is meant to get you thinking not only about organ system function, but also about organ system DYSFUNCTION. For this extra credit assignment, please submit a brief essay (1-2 pages in length) discussing a disease state. Start by describing the way the organ system functions in a normal physiological state. Describe each organ in the system and its function. Next introduce the mechanism of dysfunction in the disease state. Be sure to discuss which organs are malfunctioning and how that affects the other organs in the system. Ie, which other organs have to pick up the slack and how do they accomplish this? Next discuss the impact this has on other organ systems. Ie, how are other organ systems which rely on the malfunctioning system affected and how do they compensate? Finally, discuss current treatment options and weigh their costs and benefits. If there are any, mention preventative measures a healthy individual could take to avoid the disease, if possible.arrow_forwardAlthough your body systems interact to keep you healthy, sometimes problems can prevent them from working properly. Choose any disorder or disease (contagious, inherited, age-related, or otherwise) and describe how it can disrupt the human body’s normal function, including the systems, organs, cells, molecules, and/or processes involved.arrow_forwardDiaphragm Right hypochondriac region Epigastric region Left hypochondriac region Right lumbar Left lumbar Umbilical region region region Right iliac region Hypogastric region Left iliac region Hello.

- Our pharmacy is located near several pediatricians’ offices, and each of these pediatricians has a preferred mouth rinse for sore throat. One doctor writes a combination of lidocaine, antacid, and Benadryl for a sore throat. Depending on the cause of the sore throat, she may add nystatin, an antifungal medication, or acyclovir, an antiviral medication. A typical prescription will read: antacid 1 part, lidocaine 2 parts, Benadryl 1 part, and nystatin 4 parts; dispense 8 ounces. We have found one of the simplest ways to calculate the amount of each drug to mix is by using fractions. First we add up the total number of “parts,” and this becomes our denominator or bottom number. For this compound, the denominator is 1 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 8. The numerator or top number is how many parts of that ingredient are used. For example, two parts of the mixture are lidocaine, so lidocaine is 2/8 of the mixture. To calculate how many ounces of lidocaine are needed, the fraction is multiplied by the total…arrow_forwardOur pharmacy is located near several pediatricians’ offices, and each of these pediatricians has a preferred mouth rinse for sore throat.

At this stage, the tumour may spread to other parts of the body. Cancer cells often use lymph vessels as pathways to other parts of the body, where they continue to divide. e) Why does this characteristic make cancer especially dangerous? Iarrow_forward
