Assignment 2: The Pathophysiology Of Disorders

During the last 5 weeks, you have explored various body systems: neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematological. These four systems work together, along with other body systems, to complete a myriad of functions. For this reason, when disorders occur within one body system, they can have potentially devastating effects throughout the entire body. For instance, Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system, yet its alterations actually affect multiple body systems, from the cardiovascular system to the gastrointestinal system. In this assignment, you examine alterations associated with disorders as well as the impact of the alterations on multiple body systems. Assignment 2: The Pathophysiology Of Disorders
