The Integumentary System (Specifically the epidermis and dermis layer)
Become an expert on the integumentary system (Specifically the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin).
You will present on this system to a (hypothetical) student who is entering this class in the future and does not know anything about the system.
Decide the format of your presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Prezi, or a presentation software with which you are familiar).
Project Presentation:
Create a presentation on your chosen organ that includes the following:
Name of the system
Name of the organ
Anatomical location: Use directional terms to describe the location such as superior to, inferior to, anterior, etc.
Anatomical description: Include only the anatomical description; do not include any function or microscopic description.
Types of cells and tissues present in the organ: Just include a microscopic description; do not include anything else.
Functions of the organ: This is to describe the physiology. Do not discuss any anatomical description.
Homeostasis: Discuss how the organ you have chosen responds to maintain homeostasis in the body.
Prediction: Predict the types of problems that would occur in this organ if it could not maintain homeostasis.
Disease: Mention a specific disease that affects the organ, and describe the anatomical and functional changes that occur in that organ.
There is no research paper to do as part of your final presentation (you will still have your Module 5 Research and Report assignment due. At the end of the semester, you will submit your PowerPoint (or other presentation) along with descriptive content. The descriptive content could be an audio included in the PowerPoint, a video presentation in which you describe your slides, or a supplemental script or notes pages for each slide. The reasoning is that if you were doing a presentation to an audience, you wouldn’t put all of your content in bullet points on the slide. The bullet points would highlight the important parts, and you would verbally elaborate in your presentation.
References: Provide at least five references using APA Style.
