NOTE:
you must focus on the anatomy & physiology of the disease/disorder. Discuss
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 tuberculosis, Do not go all into clinical detail about TB/bacteria
that causes it but how the bacteria escape our body’s defenses and its effects
on the lung tissue and function.
