Write about the disease osteogenic sarcoma.
Consider a disease, condition or health issue of special interest to you from the list provided. The topics on this list have been well studied and were chosen because they deviate from normal anatomy and physiology, and they involve several systems in the body. Your goal is to apply your knowledge of anatomy and physiology to the topic chosen; osteogenic sarcoma
The research project must include the following components:
Introduction: This introductory paragraph or paragraphs should contain a general definition of
the disease/condition including a brief discussion of the etiology (cause or causes) of the
disease.
Normal Anatomy / Pathogenesis / Pathophysiology: This section of the research paper should
include a basic overview of the normal anatomy and physiology of TWO primary systems
affected by the disease. It should also describe the Pathogenesis and Pathophysiology of the
disease. Pathogenesis is an explanation of the origin and development of the disease or in other
words how the disease causes changes in the normal anatomy. Pathophysiology is an explanation
of how the disease/condition affects the normal functions of the organ(s) or system(s). Be sure
to describe all organs/ systems involved in the disease. It is important that terms not
commonly used by the general public be explained or defined in the paper or you can use an
asterisk (*) at the end of the word if you choose to define the term in the glossary at the end
of the paper. This will typically be the longest section of the paper and will be worth the most
points.
Clinical manifestations: This section of the paper should describe the consequences of the
pathogenesis and pathophysiology of the disease/condition, including the major signs and
symptoms. Again it is important that terms not commonly used by the general public be
explained or defined in the paper or as mentioned you can use an asterisk (*) at the end of the
word if you choose to define the term in the glossary at the end of the paper.
Treatments: This section of the paper should describe any treatment options available. Include
a discussion of how the treatments generally work to treat the etiology, pathogenesis,
pathophysiology or signs and symptoms.
Glossary of medical terms: A list of medical terms used in the research paper identified with an
asterisk (*).
Graphic (picture/diagram): You must include at least one relevant to the topic, with a
caption/explanation of the graphic written in your own words. The source of the graphic must
be cited as are all references used throughout the paper.
Evaluation report made thru myself & peers: Refer to the “evaluation sheet” section of this
handout for further information.
References: You must include for all sources used to gather information to write the paper the
full reference information in correct APA format.
