Why could the bacteria Clostridium botulinum cause a descending paralysis? This assignment will involve describing the physiological mechanisms in place for a particular body system to maintain homeostasis of a particular factor such as blood calcium, fluid volume, blood pressure etc. While normal functioning should be the main focus of the assignment it should; however, include a brief description of how homeostasis is disrupted leading to the appearance of disease identified in topic provided. Please note, the disease process is a minor focus. The assignment will also require the construction of a concept map that summarizes how a physiological system maintains homeostasis normally and how it can be disrupted to cause disease. Following the initial written section your concept map should identify the central physiological mechanism in the case. Ensure that the relationship between the components are clearly identified and how they maintain homeostasis. The factors disrupting homeostasis and therefore causing disease need to be positioned appropriately in the concept map. Structure: Introduction: An introduction should briefly describe the body system associated with the topic and identify its general role briefly. This should be followed by an identification of the factor/s influenced by the body system (in relation to the question) and why they need to be kept within a homeostatic range. Lastly, briefly describe what factor/s in the case disrupt homeostasis to cause disease. (100 – 200 words) Body: The body of your descriptive piece expands on what was identified in the introduction. The mechanisms used by the body system to maintain homeostasis of the factor identified should be described. An explanation of how factors identified in the question disrupt the homeostatic mechanisms to cause disease should be provided and conclude with what could be expected to occur with such disruption. A final sentence should indicate that the processes identified are summarized in the following concept map. (500 words) Summary Concept Map: Explained in the following slides. A note on referencing: Appropriate in text referencing should be used along with the provision of a reference list. It is expected that 3-5 citations would be appropriate and that they are relatively recent (within the last 6 years).
