Describe the nervous system.  Begin by first identifying the anatomy of the central nervous system and explaining what role each organ plays in the overall system.  Next, identify the significant anatomical parts of the peripheral nervous system including the division of the spinal nerves and their corresponding numbering.  Then, name important pathology that afflicts those particular anatomical parts just named.  Also, choose which laboratory tests and diagnostic procedures would be used in compliance with that specific pathology.

 

 

 

2.      Explain the workings of the respiratory system.  First, begin by identifying important anatomical parts and indicating what each organ is responsible for in the entire system. Next, specify any diseases or pathology that afflicts those specific anatomical parts just named.  Then, select the laboratory tests and diagnostic procedures that would be used in compliance with that particular disease or pathology.

 

 

 

3.      Examine the skin and sense organs.  Start by identifying key anatomical parts andexplaining what each organ is responsible for in the body system.  Then, indicate any diseases or pathology that afflicts those particular anatomical parts just named.  After indicating the diseases or pathology, decide which of the laboratory tests and diagnostic procedures would be used in compliance with that specific disease or pathology.
