Module Reading 1. Integumentary (relating to the skin and its appendages, such as hair and nails), Musculoskeletal (relating to the muscles and bones of the body), and Cancer (a disease caused by uncontrolled division of abnormal cells). Previous Chapter 3: focus on module 1, 2, 4 (focus on skin and burn injuries, arthritis). Previous Chapter 7: Module 1, 2 Add Chapter 19: Module 2, 3, 4 (focus on osteoporosis (a condition in which bones become weak and brittle)). 2. Foundations of Cellular Regulation and Fluid Balance Add Chapter 1—focus on terminology. Chapter 2: focus on module 1, 2, 3. Chapter 8—focus on module 1, 2, 3 (only dehydration (a condition that results when the body loses more fluids than it takes in)—table 8.3, not cirrhosis (a chronic liver disease marked by scarring of liver tissue) or hypoparathyroidism (a condition in which the body secretes abnormally low levels of parathyroid hormone, affecting calcium balance)). Remove chapter 13 3. Inflammation, Immunity, and Infection Chapter 4 immunity: focus on module 1, 2, 4, Chapter 5: Module 1, 2, 3, Make sure to know the figures: Figure 5-10 chain of infection (the sequence of events that allows infection to spread: infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, susceptible host) (Page 116) Figure 5-11 phases of infectionIncubation: time between exposure to pathogen and appearance of first symptoms 4. Prodromal: early signs and symptoms appear, often mild and nonspecific 5. Illness: full development of disease with clear symptoms 6. Decline: symptoms begin to subside as the immune system or treatment reduces the infection 7. Convalescence: recovery phase when the body returns to normal and repairs damage*) Note: Do not go in depth. Very basic understanding of infection and the process of it. We will use this chapter again in other modules for system-specific infections. Chapter 7: Module 1, 2 4: GI Disorders Previous Chapter 2: module 2—GERD only (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease; a chronic condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus). Previous Chapter 3: module 4: pages 62-70. Previous Chapter 5: module 4 hepatitis only (inflammation of the liver, often caused by viral infection). Chapter 9—focus on metabolic disturbances only (imbalances in the body's chemical processes such as fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance). Respiratory in another module. NO compensation/buffering. Add Chapter 18: module 2, 3 (diverticular disease (a condition where small bulging pouches develop in the digestive tract), functional fecal incontinence (inability to control bowel movements due to non- structural or functional causes))
