Discussion 6

Finding Other Nervous and Endocrine Disorders

Overview

In this module, you were introduced to diseases and disorders related to the endocrine and nervous systems. Use what you learned about these topics to participate in the discussion.

Instructions

Read the discussion prompts. In 200–250 words, create an initial post using the prompts to guide your content. Then, respond to at least two of your peers’ posts in a substantive manner. “I agree” or “Good point” are not accepted as substantive responses to your peers.

Discussion Prompts: Initial Post

In this module, you learned about only a few disorders of the endocrine and nervous systems. There are many more related to specific portions of the brain, spinal cord, or endocrine glands.

1. Choose a disease or disorder from the chapter readings that can occur in the nervous or endocrine system but was not included in your learning guide. Include the disease name, the specific part of the nervous or endocrine system that it affects, and any other important information regarding the disease.

2. Remember that a substantive post should provide a reason for your beliefs. In other words, why do you feel the way you feel? Your opinion is acceptable, but you must have a solid rationale for it. You will need to respond critically and persuasively.
