Case Study Report Information
Assessment Task 1: Case Study Report (25%)
Students are to develop and describe a small case study to extend upon and integrate their knowledge in the anatomy and physiology related to their case study topic. Case study topics should represent a disease/pathology or a lifestyle choice (dietary choice or exercise regime) where a disruption to homeostasis can occur. The case study developed should be based in an area that best fits students’ interests and career goals.
In your written assignment, you must identify and discuss the normal anatomy and physiology of at least 2-3 body systems (or specific components of the body system(s)), clearly outlining the relevance to the case study.
Secondly, your report will focus on the homeostatic mechanisms within each body system/component and how these integrate (influence one another) relative to your case study. Finally, you should focus on the anatomical and physiological adaptations that are likely to occur, both acutely and chronically.
