nervous system and endocrine system

Week 3 – Discussion

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.
 

Nervous   System and Endocrine System

Last names that begin with A through M: Select the nervous system for your initial post.  

• Choose one of the CDC’s five most common chronic      diseases (heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, or arthritis) and      describe the anatomical and physiological changes associated with the      nervous system.  Describe normal function of the system and how the      disease alters the normal function.  List signs and symptoms that      indicate the disease has developed, specific to the system being covered.       Identify and describe steps people can take to reduce their risk of      developing the chronic disease

 Last names that begin with N through Z: Select the endocrine system for your initial post.

• Choose one of the CDC’s five most common chronic diseases      (heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, or arthritis) and describe the      anatomical and physiological changes associated with the endocrine      system.  Describe normal function of the system and how the disease      alters the normal function.  List signs and symptoms that indicate      the disease has developed, specific to the system being covered.       Identify and describe steps people can take to reduce their risk of      developing the chronic disease.

Use two scholarly sources (one may be your course text) to support your initial post. All sources must be referenced and cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Your initial post should be 250 words at a minimum.
 

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ initial posts. Respond to one post by a classmate who covered the nervous system and one post by a classmate who covered the endocrine system.  Choose a comorbid condition associated with the disease chosen by the student to whom you are responding.  List signs and symptoms associated with the comorbidity.  List factors that contribute to the development of the comorbidity as well as steps the person can take to avoid the development of the problem.  Describe the impact of the comorbid condition on a patient’s physical and mental health. Your responses must be at least 100 words in length.
 

Carefully review the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate this Discussion Thread.
