BACKGROUND During your study, you may have found one of the medical disorders you read about to be especially interesting. This assignment gives you an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned by doing some research in outside sources and increasing your understanding of one disorder. PROCEDURE Select a single medical disorder that affects the skeletal, muscular, integumentary, nervous, sensory, or endocrine systems. Consult the software program Anatomy & Physiology Revealed, and determine the histology and possible imaging studies used to diagnose the disorder. Utilize other resources, including textbooks, journal articles, and primary websites, to validate your findings. Then prepare a detailed report on the medical disorder, including the following elements: Definition Method(s) of diagnosis Symptoms and complications of the disorder Diagnostic findings from imaging and histology Treatment of the disorder Methods of prevention, if any Directions for future research The information from this course should be incorporated, but don’t limit yourself to what you’ve learned while studying this course. Go to http://lessons.pennfoster.com/pdf/LS5273.pdf and read the instructions for research papers. GOAL This assignment is designed to help you apply what you’ve learned from your lessons by researching and writing about a medical disorder you’ve studied and to give you an opportunity to demonstrate your written communication and research skills. WRITING GUIDELINES Type your submission, double-spaced, in a standard print font, Times New Roman or Arial font size 12. Use a standard document format with 1-inch margins. (Don’t use any fancy or cursive fonts.) Include the following information at the top of your paper: Name and complete mailing address Student number Course title and number (Anatomy and Physiology 1, H04V) Research project number (427318) Read the assignment carefully and address the topic suggested. Use proper citation in either APA or MLA style. Be specific. Limit your submission to the main topic identified. Include a reference page in either APA or MLA style. On this page, list websites, journals, and all other references used in preparing the submission. Proofread your work carefully. Check for correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.
