Organ System Interrelationship and Disease Assessment
Overview
For this assessment, submit an organized list of at least 10 bullet points, including the homeostatic interrelationship between the primary organ system and one secondary organ system. Describe one disease or medical illness that affects the primary organ system you are reviewing. You’ll submit this milestone in Module Four.
Specifically, address the following critical elements:
- Describe the relationship of the primary organ system to a secondary organ system, specifically:
- The interactions of the two systems, including physiological functions that require the two systems to perform together.
- How the human body depends on this specific relationship, that is, its significance.
- Discuss at least one common medical issue or disease affecting the primary organ system, describing for each:
- The nature of the condition or disease (for example, who can have this and when it can occur).
- The implications of the condition or disease (that is, the impaired function, the ultimate consequences).
- The cause(s) of the condition or disease.
- The prevalence of the condition or disease in the American population.
