Teach us about a particular disorder that affects either the cardiovascular system or the respiratory system. Find a recent mainstream news article related to your chosen disorder – include the link in your post! In a few sentences, “teach us” the relevant biology information needed to understand the basis of the article. Teach us what the cause of the disorder is, what the effect is, and how the system or affected area would function normally. What is the prognosis/outlook? What are prevention options? What are treatment options? Are there older treatments that are no longer used? Are there newer treatments that show more promise?
Your original post should be 100-200 words.
Your assignment should:
1. Get us interested! Draw us in with interesting information or questions. (2 pt)
2. Demonstrate critical thinking – give some analysis of the article you share (2 pt)
3. Explain biological concepts related to this content – you might highlight a particularly interesting thing that you learned, or something that seemed tricky at first but you figured it out. Explain some of the vocabulary from class. Teach your peers about the normal function of your topic and how that normal function is affected by your chosen disorder (7 pt)
4. Relate your chosen disorder to real world applications, technology, or current events. (2 pt)
