This week you will be asked to find clinical correlations thatrelate to both the digestive and respiratory systems. Youshould discuss one clinical correlation for each system. Yourdescription must include what the pathology is and which anatomicalstructures are affected. Provide some idea of clinical signsand ensure that you explain how the clinical signs are related tothe pathological changes seen in normal anatomy.
For example - asthma would be a clinical correlation that youcould relate to the respiratory system. Asthma is characterized bybronchoconstriction due to inflammation and irritation of both therespiratory mucosa and the smooth muscle layer of the bronchi.Patients present with shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and(in severe cases) suffocation. Irritation of mucosa and spasmodicreaction of the smooth muscle both contribute to a decreased lumen,restricting the movement of air through the bronchi.
Your initial response must be completed by midnight onWednesday. Follow up response - Provide a critique for 2 ofyour classmates. Your peer to peer response should becompleted no later than Thursday by midnight.
As you respond to one another, consider the following:
