Los Angeles City College Physiology Case Study

select a type of disease and write 3-5 pages per SLO. SLO is the student learning outcome. SLO 1 is Pathophysiology, SLO 2 is Symptoms, SLO 3 is New studies and treatments. There is a file with a list of diseases to choose from and the instructions should be on the bottom of the doc.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY PAPER
The student describes the pathophysiology of the disease; the paper gives an in-depth analysis of the underlying
causes of the physiological changes that occur during disease progression. The changes may occur at the
molecular, cellular, organ or organ system level.
The information in the paper, including any in-progress research theories or ideas, is completely consistent with
and supported by research published in established, peer-reviewed, scientific journals and texts.
The information in the paper, including any in-progress research theories or ideas, is completely consistent with

The paper is written in an established college format (e.g. MLA, APA, CSE, etc.) and has appropriate
references at the end of paper.. No grammar errors are present. The paper is good readability and flow

starts, Explain how it affects the cells, tissues, organs and organ systems of the affected individual.
2)
Explain what the signs of the disease show in the affected individual. What will change on the person?
