Pick a disease affecting one of the body regions we have discussed.
Decide on a title for your essay that addresses a question relating to this disease.
Explain the anatomy and histology of the area in both health and disease, and use your explanation as the basis for answering your question.
Address the following concerns as an integral part of your essay

How much do we understand about the causes and effects of this particular disease?
How could we improve our knowledge?
What specific information would we acquire about the disease from using different investigative methods?

Guidelines:
This essay should follow the normal essay structure-
Title, introduction, essay body and conclusion.

The body of the essay is in two sections-
30-40% gross anatomical and histological description of structure and function, normal and diseased:
Give a detailed description of the gross and histological anatomy of the organ. Include relevant developmental information, innervation and vasculature in your description. Use your anatomical/histological description to explain the function and dysfunction of the organ. Explain how the changes in micro and macro structure are associated with the changes in function experienced by the patient.
Use appropriate images/illustrations in your description. You may use images from Creative Commons which you then add labels to yourself. All images must be accurately cited.
60-70% discussion of questions:
Use appropriate images/illustrations in your explanation. You may use images from Creative Commons which you then add labels to yourself. All images must be accurately cited.
How much do we understand the causes and effects of this particular disease?
Answer this using a literature review
What specific information would we acquire about the disease from using different investigative methods?
Critically analyse, compare and contrast the different methods used in 3 disparate studies which are all addressing a similar question. What type of information is gathered through each method? What aspects of the question do these methods answer?
How could we improve our knowledge?
Based on your analysis of how the different types of methodology used in each of the studies you have included in your comparative study, extrapolate at least one logical next step in the investigation of this disease.

N.B. You will need to go beyond the material covered in the anatomy lectures, using the relevant academic literature to support the points that you make in your essay.
All sources and images must be properly referenced using Bangor Harvard referencing guidelines.
