Assignment 5.1: Endocrine System Organs

Endocrine System Organs

Objectives

• Identify the anatomical structures of the endocrine system and their functions
• Describe selected endocrine system diseases and disorders
• Describe issues and changes related to the endocrine system at different points in the lifespan

Assignment Overview

This exercise reviews the major organs of the endocrine system and their associated hormones and diseases.

Deliverables

A table of the major endocrine organs and their associated hormones

Step 1 Create a table.

Create a table of the major endocrine organs of the human body. For each organ, include:

• Hormones associated with each organ and the target cells affected by those hormones
• One example of a disease or disorder

Assignment 6.1: The Female Reproductive System

The Female Reproductive System

Objectives

• Identify the anatomical structures of the male and female reproductive systems
• Explain the menstrual cycle
• Explain the physiology of reproduction

Assignment Overview

This practice exercise allows students to review the major organs of the female reproductive system.

Deliverables

A table of the reproductive system

Step 1 Create a table.

Create a table that identifies the structures of the female reproductive system and defines the functions of each structure using images from the Internet. Be very clear in your descriptions.

Step 2 Add to your table.

Using the information in your textbook, add the phases of the menstrual cycle to the table you created in Step 1. Your goal is to identify the physiological processes in each phase of the cycle. Be creative. Use images, if you choose.

Step 3 Submit your answers.

When you have completed the assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible place and submit your assignment to your instructor using the dropbox.

This patient is most likely to have plaque psoriasis, the most common form of psoriasis in young adults, with the average age of onset in the early twenties (Dunphy, Winland-Brown, Porter, & Thomas, 2015).)

            The risk factors for the development of psoriasis are family history. One-third of all patients with psoriasis have a relative with the disease, as in the case study above. When a parent is affected the children have a tendency for an early onset of the condition. Not only that but when both parents are affected the chance increases to forty-one percent of the children having the condition. This patient had an upper respiratory infection prior to the outbreak of the rash; this predisposes her for an outbreak of psoriasis. Even though there is a genetic disposition of the offspring of the parents having the disease, the exact genetic cause is unknown. Research is ongoing regarding the genetic and environmental influences on the cellular effects of the disease (Dunphy, Winland-Brown, Porter, & Thomas, 2015).

          The diagnostic tests to order for this patient are a CBC with differential and serum chemistry profile, serum uric acid level, antinuclear antibody titer, and rheumatoid factor. The serum uric acid level may be elevated. Diagnostic procedures are the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, which evaluates overall severity and BSA involvement, and the Dermatology Life Quality Index. The top three differentials are seborrheic dermatitis, nummular eczema, and atopic dermatitis (Dominic, Bolder, & Golding, 2019)

            The goal of treatment for the condition of Psoriasis is to identify and avoid triggers. If the condition is mild to moderate keeping the skin hydrated with petrolatum ointments is helpful. Topical corticosteroids are also helpful initially in treating the disease and preventing skin atrophy. In the adult, initial therapy should be corticosteroids with varying potencies. These treatments should not be used longer than 4 weeks (Hendriks… et al, 2013).

            Follow-ups should be done to measure the body surface area involvement and to see if the therapy is working. If the therapy is not working alternative treatments should be prescribed or the addition of another agent to treat the condition should be done. If the psoriasis is greater than twenty percent of the body surface area, or severe extremity involvement especially of the hands and feet develops, a referral is needed (Menter, Gottlieb, Feldman, Van Voorhees, Leonardi, Gordon, et al…2008).
