Digestive and Integumentary.

Name: _______________________________ Due Date: ___________Anatomy & Physiology Research ProjectThe research project for this course is the creation of a PowerPointpresentation investigating one organ system. The overall task of thisassignment is to identify and investigate the anatomy and physiology of oneorgan system in the body, to assess how this primary organ system interacts witha secondary organ system, and to investigate one specific disease that affectsthe primary organ system. It is hard to imagine that 11 intricate body systems areworking together all at the same time to maintain homeostasis, i.e., keepinginternal conditions within an optimal range. As you read this, your body isperforming hundreds of tasks. Your brain is processing the sensory informationthat you are reading, your heart is pumping your blood throughout your body,your small intestine is breaking down your last meal, and this list goes on and on.Anatomy is the study of the structures that comprise the body and physiology isthe study of the functioning of how the anatomical structures work together toachieve a certain task. This research project provides an opportunity to exploreone of the 11 body systems and communicate your knowledge and insights onhuman anatomy with your peers.The 11 organ systems that comprise the human organism are the cardiovascularsystem, digestive system, endocrine system, urinary system, integumentarysystem, lymphatic system, muscular system, nervous system, reproductivesystem, respiratory system, and lastly, the skeletal system. Each system hasdistinct differences and similarities that are important to understand. Thisknowledge is needed to comprehend current issues in human health andmedicine and their implications for your well-being.In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the followingcourse outcomes: Identify and explain the structure and function of cells, tissues, organs,and organ systems of the body Illustrate the highly connected pathways of all systems of the body byparticipating in a class project that demonstrates these connections Critically analyze current issues in human health and medicine, anddemonstrate application of that knowledge to their own bodies and lifeexperiencesPresentation Resources: Your final presentation will be submitted inPowerPoint or another presentation format such as Google Presentation. Youcan also visit https://www.openoffice.org to download a program called ApacheOpenOffice Impress. It allows you to create a PowerPoint presentation with afree, compatible program through OpenOffice. A free Word program is alsoavailable at this web address. 2Writing Resources: References and additional formatting should be done inAPA 6th Edition format. If you need help with APA citation and referenceformatting, more information on formatting can be found at the Purdue OnlineWriting Lab website at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owlPlease Note: For this project, the use of reliable academic resources isimportant to ensure the presentation of accurate and timely material. Pleaseavoid the use of sites like Wikipedia, Ask.com, etc., as they are not consideredacademically reliable. It is also suggested that websites such as WebMD.comand the like are not used as references. Academic resources include yourtextbook, journal articles, and government websites, etc.Plagiarism is unacceptable. If you do not develop your own work withappropriate use of citations and references, you will receive a zero for theassignment and a meeting with the administration will be arranged.Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:1. Describe the anatomy of the primary organ system in 2–3 slides, ensuring thatyou:a. Provide a description of the organ system’s location as presented in theanatomical position within the human body.b. Describe the organs and structures contained in this organ system.c. Identify key cell or tissue types contained in this organ system.d. Provide a labeled diagram or image illustrating the organ system’slocation relative to other organ systems.2. Explain the physiology of the organ system in 2–3 slides, including:a. A description of the major physiological functions of the organ system.b. A labeled diagram or image illustrating one of the functions of the organsystem.3. Describe the relationship of the primary organ system to a secondary organsystem in 2–3 slides, specifically:a. The interactions of the two systems, including physiological functionsthat require the two systems to perform together.b. The dependence of the human body on this specific relationship, i.e., itssignificance.4. Discuss common medical issues and diseases affecting the primary organsystem in 2–3 slides, describing for each:a. The nature of the condition or disease (e.g., who can have this andwhen it can occur).b. The implications of the condition or disease (i.e., the impaired function,the ultimate consequences).c. The cause(s) of the condition or disease.d. The prevalence of the condition or disease in the American population.3Guidelines for Submission: Your final presentation should be a minimum of10 slides in length (excluding title and reference slides), incorporating pictures,diagrams, graphs, or other visual information to further enhance yourpresentation and explain the information in your PowerPoint. You must includeboth a cover slide and a reference slide/s, not included in the 10 slide minimum.You are to use a minimum of 5 sources/references to assist in developing yourproject. APA format for citations, references and visual information should beused. Each research project will be graded based on the grading rubric providedto ensure students are meeting appropriate standards for each ‘Critical Element’.Each student is expected to submit their research project for grading based onthe specific guidelines provided by the instructor.Oral Presentation: Each student will be expected to provide an oral presentationof his/her research project the day the project is due. Students must be preparedas though he/she will be the first to orally present their project! Oral presentationsshould be a maximum of 10 minutes. Students may use note cards, but try not toread them word for word. It is best to know (and understand) what you are talkingabout! When orally presenting consider the following: While you are speaking to the class, speak clearly, not too fast, and loudenough for everyone to hear you. Slides and/or note cards should be referred to during the presentation,NOT READ! Make sure you explain visual aids you chose to include in yourpresentation. Be thorough!There will be no excuses for late projects. Also, each student is expected to givean oral presentation (no exceptions). If a student is not present to give an oralpresentation of his/her research project a 20% grade deduction will be applied.4Research Project
