Instruction
A one- to two-page 250- to 500-word (not including the template) paper--INCLUDING THE WORDS ALREADY ON THE TEMPLATE IN ADDITION TO THE MINIMUM 250 YOU WILL NEED A MINIMUM OF 433 WORDS TOTAL
Research one disease or disorder of the immune system.
(I do not want to see submissions on leukemia. Type I diabetes is acceptable, but not the best choice. If you do your paper on diabetes, the emphasis should be on the immune system aspect of it, not the complications of the disease. The same goes for asthma.)
Research an immune system disorder or disease. Write a one-to-two-page (250- to 500-word, not including the words on the template) paper that addresses the following directions:
1. Describe the disease including the causes, signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures, and potential treatment.
2. Describe the immune system and other organs that are involved or damaged by the disease or disorder.
3. Describe how the immune system works and how it malfunctions in this disease or disorder. Relate it to the normal functioning of immunity.
4. Identify how this disease interferes with the homeostasis of the body.
5. Explain whether this disease is prevalent in a particular phase or age of life.
YOUR SUBMISSION MUST BE ON A DISEASE or CONDITION THAT PRIMARILY AFFECTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, NOT ONE THAT HAS JUST A LITTLE TO DO WITH IT.
