In this activity, we had to decipher what diseases our classmates had based on their symptoms. We interviewed individual patients and guessed what their disease was based on their symptoms. We then had to select one disease and write a paragraph on it. My selected disease, Acromegaly, is described in the google doc below. Throughout this project, I learned many things about the endocrine system. I learned what the endocrine system was and some of the diseases that can cause it to not function as well. I learned what types of symptoms can be related to specific endocrine diseases. I learned that the endocrine system is consisted of glands that release their products into the blood stream. Some of the diseases that impact the endocrine system include hypoparathyroidism, acromegaly, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, cushing's disease, growth hormone deficiency, grave's disease, turner syndrome, and osteoporosis.
