Week 6: Discussion: Disorders of Hormone Regulation and Musculoskeletal Function

Write a short discussion on one of the topics below!!This week, we discussed musculoskeletal and endocrine disorders, immobility, and environmental hazards. Select a topic from your readings, outcomes, objectives, concepts, and sub-concepts (below) and present a question that applies to a concept or a disease process, wellness, or illness. Submit your question in the following formats: audio, text, or webcam. Once your comment has been posted, submit responses to your peers’ questions and comments. Consider the outcomes, objectives, and concepts below when formulating your initial question.Your question and response should explain, illustrate, justify, trace, discuss, compare, contrast, agree or disagree, interpret, evaluate, and summarize.Weekly Outcomes & Weekly ObjectivesArticulate alterations in structure and function of the endocrine and musculoskeletal systems. (CO 1)Trace the impact that alterations in the endocrine and musculoskeletal systems have on the body. (CO 2)Summarize the impact of alterations in the endocrine and musculoskeletal systems on homeostasis. (CO 3)Understand normal endocrine and musculoskeletal system physiology.Describe common types of endocrine and musculoskeletal system disorders: causes, clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests, and treatments.Compare and contrast common endocrine and musculoskeletal conditions: causes, clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests, and treatments.Apply understanding of alterations in the endocrine and musculoskeletal system across the lifespan to formulate care priorities.Review the musculoskeletal systems function in bone formation, degradation, and homeostasis.Examine responses to aging and its impact on pathophysiologic changes in the endocrine and musculoskeletal systems.Describe how heredity and genetics influence pathophysiological alterations in the endocrine and musculoskeletal systems.Main Topics and Concepts/ Sub-Concepts with ExemplarAlterations in the endocrine systemAlterations in physical structuresAlterations in functionCancers of the endocrine systemPathophysiologic endocrine response to agingGenetic influences on endocrine system pathologyAlterations in the musculoskeletal systemAlterations in physical structuresAlterations in functionCancers of the musculoskeletal systemPathophysiologic musculoskeletal response to agingGenetic influences on musculoskeletal system pathologyAcid-base imbalance: diabetic ketoacidosisAcute versus chronic conditionsThyroid stormHyperthyroidismCellular regulation: bone degeneration and regenerationFluid and electrolyte imbalances: posterior pituitary gland disordersPain: osteoarthritisFunctional mobility: muscular dystrophyGlucose regulation: Cushing’s syndromeTissue integrity: diabetic foot ulcerationInflammation: Hashimoto’s thyroiditisGenetics: osteoporosis
