Diseases of the Gastrointestinal System

Chapter 15 gave you a new appreciation for the path the food you eat takes. Let’s examine some of the problems that patients encounter in this complex body system. At the end of Chapter 15 you will find a section titled “A Quick Trip Through Some of the Diseases of the Gastrointestinal System” (see pages 440-447).

Please select one of the diseases listed and expand your knowledge of that disease through some additional Internet research. Find two videos online about the disease you selected, for example – esophageal stricture. Watch those videos and then write a short narrative about what you learned. Submit your narrative to your instructor, along with a link to the two videos you found.
