Chapter 4 Lab:

For each organ system, describe a condition/illness/disease that impacts it directly. Take it a step further and describe a condition that impacts each system indirectly – meaning it’s origination is within one system, but the condition impacts a secondary system. Make sure you state how the condition impacts the system directly and indirectly. Note: You can use the table provided or write out a narrative. The table is there for your convenience, but is not required as a tool. (22 points)

For example, hypothyroidism directly impacts the thyroid, but indirectly impacts the integumentary system (dry skin is a symptom).

Organ System	Condition Direct Impact	Condition Indirect Impact
Integumentary	Eczema : skin becomes red, itchy, inflamed, and sometimes blisters appear. Mainly caused due to exposure to allergens,eg. pollen.	Weakens the immune system, Respiratory ailments like shortness of breath.
Skeletal	Major Fracture of bones	Bed sore develop due injuries to skin and underlying tissue as a result of prolonged period of inactivity or being bed ridden. (integument)
Muscular	Dystropy : muscle weakness and muscle loss	affects the central Nervous system. Lack of coordination,mobility,limited range of motion. (muscular)
Nervous	Ataxia : caused by damage to the central nervous system.	affects the muscular system, lack of coordination, sporadic eye movements.(muscular)
Endocrine	diabetes mellitus :increased blood glucose levels due to improper functioning of insulin hormone.	Atherosclerosis : narrowing of arteries,increased risk of heart attack. (cardiovascular)
Cardiovascular	high blood pressure	increased risk of kidney disorders. (renal)
Lymphatic	lymphoma : enlarged lymph nodes.	Anaemia: loss of haemoglobin , shortness of breath. ( cardiovascular )
Respiratory	asthma	Atopic dermatitis: appearence of rashes, itchy skin. (integument)
Digestive	cholera	muscle cramps due to dehydration and imbalance of Na+ and K+ ions.(nervous)
Urinary	chronic kidney disease	Increased risk of cardio vascular ailments like high blood pressure, cholesterol and tendency of obesity. (cardiovascular)
Reproductive	polycystic ovarian syndrome : production of excessive testosterone in females which leads to irregular menstrual cycle and difficulties in getting pregnant.	increased appearence of acne and excessive facial hair growth (integument)

The concepts of “illness,” “sickness,” and “disease” all indicate three distinct perspectives on any particular condition. What is an example of an illness and/or sickness without an underlying or connected disease? What is a disease without an associated illness or sickness? Consider how these three difference perspectives might be used in the case of any condition we discussed thus far in this class(such as culture bound syndrome, cystic fibrosis, Tay Sachs, and sickle cell disease). How might the “illness” or...
