Case Study Template (remove all shaded text before submitting) Case Study Topic: Student Name: Student Number: Introduction – approx. 200 words Briefly introduce your topic including a brief explanation and definition of the condition or disease and which body systems are involved in regulating homeostasis for this system. Body – The body should total approximately 1600-1700 words using the following subheadings. Relevant Body Anatomical and Physiological Components – approx. 500 words Introduce the relevant body systems and structures that are involved in maintaining homeostasis for each system. You need to discuss which system acts as the control centre/s and 2 systems/structures that act as effectors. These should be discussed in detail and it is recommended that you write one paragraph per system/structure and relate it back to your topic and its role in the homeostatic mechanism. These paragraphs MUST have citations using the Harvard referencing method (see links on moodle for more details). Relevant feedback loops to maintain homeostasis – approx. 600 words Discuss the relevant feedback loops which include receptors that notice a change in homeostatic balance, the control centre that processes the information and decides on a response and the effector which carries out the response. Use diagrams if applicable and ensure they are referenced appropriately using the Harvard method. Discuss changes that occur in this mechanism as a result of the condition/disease that you are discussing and how this may affect the body’s ability to regulate homeostasis. Integration of the body systems – approx. 500 words Reinforce how the body systems you have discussed work together to regulate homeostasis focussing on the interdependence of the systems. Conclusion – approx. 200 words Summarise the main ideas of your report in a short concise conclusion Reference List - This should be on a separate page Complete a reference list that records the sources you have used in Deakin Harvard referencing style. The list must be in alphabetical order and you can ONLY list sources you have recorded in your assignment. Aim for at least SEVEN references in total. References must be sourced from journals, textbook or government websites. See the assignment instructions for more information on acceptable sources.

Assignment Description You are tasked with working on a small case study to extend your knowledge in the anatomy and physiology related to the case study. The case study represents a disruption to homeostasis. There are a number of case studies to choose from and you should choose one case study that best fits your interests and career goals. In your written assignment, you must identify and discuss the anatomy and physiology associated with your case study and how it varies from the "normal" anatomy and physiology. To do this you MUST demonstrate an understanding of how the human body, systems and organs normally function to maintain homeostasis and subsequently describe what goes "wrong" with physiology and/or anatomical structures. For example what is the role of the gall bladder in a healthy person (Bile storage and secretion), how does a disease such as gallstones affect its normal function (blocks the bile duct) and how does this affect the person's physiology (fat metabolism is disrupted). In your answer you must have a multifaceted approach (eg multiple organs and multiple organ systems) and discuss how they integrate (integrate = how does a disruption to homeostasis in the CV system affect the respiratory system?). Inclusion of graphs, images and flow charts does not contribute to word count. NB: An example of a body system is the cardiovascular system, while a specific component is the aorta. You do not need to focus on the whole system if your case study is more suited to a specific component. Topics: Choose 1 topic ONLY Case Study 1 Blood Transfusion Reaction (acute haemolytic reaction) Key concepts to discuss: Blood grouping, antibodies/antigens, coagulation, haemolytic reaction, pathophysiology. Key body systems to integrate: cardiovascular, renal, respiratory (choose 2 out of 3, plus one of nervous/endocrine) Case Study 2 Metabolic acidosis Key concepts to discuss: pH, acid-base buffering, bicarbonate, carbonic acid, arterial blood gasses, blood pressure, pathophysiology. Key body systems to integrate: cardiovascular, renal, respiratory (choose 2 out of 3, plus one of nervous/endocrine) Case Study 3 Viral meningitis Key concepts to discuss: blood-brain barrier, cognition, spinal cord, viral infection, cerebral edema, blood pressure, inflammation, pathophysiology, Key body systems to integrate: Nervous, cardiovascular, immune.

Deakin Harvard Submit your assessment as a Microsoft Word document (*.docx) to the relevant Turn it in folder. Assignment Format Examples will be provided using hypercalcemia (low blood calcium levels). Introduction The introduction should include a brief description of the condition/disease and the body systems that work together in an integrated manner to maintain homeostasis. Briefly outline the disruption that occurs to the homeostatic mechanism. Body The body of your assignment needs to address the components outlined in the instructions for the assignment and ensure you have addressed all the aspects of the questions listed under each case study. Do not list the questions and then answer them. You need to write the report in essay form. You can use subheadings as required. • It is recommended that you begin the case study by discussing in more detail the body systems that are involved in maintaining homeostasis with regard to your topic under normal conditions. You can use diagrams to aid in your discussion (make sure you cite the diagrams appropriately!) Eg: The Endocrine system is responsible for regulating the levels of calcium in the blood. The hormones calcitonin released from the thyroid gland and parathyroid hormone (PTH) released from the parathyroid gland act in a negative feedback loop to regulate homeostasis under normal conditions as indicated by Figure 1. Figure 1: Negative Feedback loops to maintain blood calcium homeostasis (Martini, 2017). You would then need to discuss the other systems/organs/glands or vessels that are involved in the regulation. When discussing homeostatic regulation, remember the 3 components of the homeostatic mechanism discussed in lecture 8: Receptors ------ Control Centres ------- Effectors You should discuss this mechanism in relation to your topic. Each topic will need to ensure that either the role of either the neural and/or endocrine system in regulating homeostasis. You need to ensure three body systems are discussed (this can include the nervous or endocrine system as relevant). · It is then recommended you discuss the disruptions to the homeostatic mechanisms in relation your chosen conditions. Remember to relate this back to the feedback loops. Then discuss how the body systems or components are impacted by the condition and how they may try and respond to restore homeostasis. · You would then provide a more detailed explanation of how the systems integrate (work together) to return homeostatic balance after the disruption has occurred (acute adaptations). · You also need to discuss the chronic adaptations that occur which are the long term changes that occur within the body as a result of the condition/disease. Conclusion Finish your report with a brief conclusion reiterating the main points you presented in the body of your assignment. References: Your assignment MUST include citations throughout the report. Please use Harvard referencing style (refer to Deakin referencing guide on moodle). You MUST include a full reference list at the end of your report. Please note that you should only include sources in your reference list that have been cited in your assignment. You must include at least 5 valid sources in your assignments. At least 3 of these should be peer reviewed journal articles. Do not base your whole report on websites.
