The student will explore how changes in homeostatic mechanisms will disrupt the human body and cause diseases. Mechanisms of disease will be studied in each system and will be examined for the effect that they produce on the structure and function of the body. Mainly we focus on common diseases in the course. This course relates the knowledge of anatomy and physiology to the disruptions in homeostasis resulting in a disorder or disease process. Objective and subjective manifestations of...
8 lessons//4 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1Diseases & Disorders of Skeletal SystemA number of disorders affect the skeletal system, including bone cancer, bone density, bone infections, osteogenesis, osteoporosis, Paget's disease of bone, and rickets. However, the two most common disorders of the skeletal system are osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Learners distinguish between the features of lordosis, kyphosis, and scoliosis, and differentiate between a strain and a sprain.Lesson 2Diseases & Disorders of the Muscular SystemPrimary muscle diseases result from abnormalities of the muscles themselves. Secondary muscle diseases are caused by another condition that may have triggered or caused the muscle disease. The course includes the study of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, and myopathy.Week 2Lesson 3Diseases and Conditions of the Circulatory SystemHere we see the difference between myocardial infarction and angina pectoris, explain what happens when the pumping action of the heart fails, and compare arteriosclerosis with atherosclerosis.Lesson 4Diseases and Conditions of the Endocrine SystemThis lesson describe the importance of hormones and explain some of the critical body functions that they control, compares gigantism to acromegaly, and classifies the two major types of diabetes mellitus.Week 3Lesson 5Diseases & Disorders of Urinary SystemExamples of urinary disorders include cancers of the urinary tract, incontinence, interstitial cystitis, kidney stones, kidney failure, and urinary tract infections.Lesson 6Diseases and Conditions of the Respiratory SystemThe lesson explains the process of respiration, discusses the causes and medical treatment for the common cold, sinusitis, and pharyngitis.Week 4Lesson 7Diseases and Conditions of the Digestive SystemWe will discuss the importance of normal teeth and a normal bite, compare the causes of herpes simplex to the cause of thrush, distinguish between the patient with anorexia and the patient with bulimia, describe a hiatal hernia, and distinguish among the types of abdominal hernias.Lesson 8Neurologic Diseases and ConditionsThe problems to which the nervous system is susceptible will be discussed. Cases such as Chronic Degenerative Disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Multiple sclerosis...etc), Movement Disorders, Infectious Disorders, will be studied. The common symptoms and signs of a CVA will be determined. Diseases such as transient ischemic attacks
- The purpose of this course is to provide students with a basic understanding of factors that contribute to the occurrence of various diseases. Learners will learn how to recognize the signs and symptoms of diseases. Learning Outcomes: 1. Describe our current understanding of the pathogenesis and epidemiology of the common or important diseases. 2. Describe and recognize the major cell and tissue alterations associated with the major diseases. 3. Describe how pathological analysis is used to recognize the major types of malignancies. 4. Distinguish environmental factors, physical, psychosocial, and cognitive characteristics of various diseases and conditions. 5. Demonstrate a basic understanding of the concepts and elements of disease.
I have an MSc and PhD and a biomedical background and I taught pre-college and college courses including Anatomy & Physiology and Pathophysiology courses for many years at the college level in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Tarea
Frecuencia: 1-2 durante toda la claseComentario: según sea necesarioDetalles: Learners will have short quizzes, multiple-choice, and crossword puzzles throughout this course. Additionally, throughout the course, they will have discussion questions that they will be required to respond to.Evaluación
Frecuencia: incluidoDetalles: Learners will demonstrate what they have learned by completing the course materials. I consider a few components to evaluate the students in this class. 1) Their attendance and if they attended every class. 2) Did they complete the multiple-choice and comprehension question and turn them in on time. 3) Did they participate in the group discussion. I will write a report to the parent for how the student did in the class and their assignments. This will be a good indication of well they understood the materials and their future success in school.
I will provide the necessary reading materials. In addition, I will provide them with the necessary instructional videos and virtual models when necessary.
I will provide them with the necessary instructional videos and virtual models. In addition books such as the following can be used: Clinical Oral Physiology. Understanding Pathophysiology, Canadian Edition. Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Diseases. Clinical Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple. Study Guide for Understanding Pathophysiology
