ORGAN/TISSUE FAILURE RESEARCH PROJECT

This unit project focuses on organ/tissue failure. Many people are affected by organ/tissue failure; you may even have some family members or friends that have experienced some form of organ/tissue failure. I suggest that you choose an illness that has affected someone you know, you have heard about in the news, or interests you because it is unusual. The goal is to research the illness and to orally/visually present information and recent research through a group 3-D book/informational video. Be creative, have fun, and use colorful artwork.

Cardiac Arrhythmias

An arrhythmia refers to any change from the normal sequence of electrical impulses, causing abnormal heart rhythms. This can cause the heart to pump less effectively.

Cirrhosis of the Liver

Cirrhosis is a condition that causes irreversible scarring of the liver. As scar tissue replaces normal tissue, blood flow through your liver is affected, making it increasingly difficult for your liver to carry out functions that are essential for life and health.

Carey CP BIOKidney Failure The kidneys stop

working when illness or injury keeps them from filtering properly. In kidney failure, these bacteria and salts build up and can have bad effects on the heart, brain, lungs, and other organs. This may even cause serious illness or death.

Neurologic Disorders

Because your brain

and central nervous

system control so

much of you, it is the

most complex part of

your body. Problems

with the brain—called

neurological disorders

—can affect your

movement, speech,

memory, senses,

swallowing, breathing,

learning, and more.

Pancreatic Diseases

There are many

pancreatic diseases.

The pancreas is a

narrow, flat organ

located below the

liver, between the

stomach and the

spine. It helps

regulate blood sugar

and digest fats,

proteins, and

carbohydrates.

DiseasesDiseases of the spleen

“ REQUEST” Directed Reading-Thinking ActivityOrgan/ Tissue Failure Article

Directions: 1. Silently read to the first stop.2. Think of a question for this section using one of the question

words (who, what, when, where, why, how).3. When everyone has finished reading, ask your questions this

way:

Rules for question time:

“I don’t know is not an acceptable answer.Each reader needs to think of a question and ask it of someone in the group.When answering questions, there is no looking back at the article (turn article over).

Carey CP BIOa.One

person begins by calling upon a member of the group and then asking the question.

b. That person must answer the question as best as s/he can without looking back at the article.

c. The asker determines whether or not the answer is acceptable.

d. The person who answers gets to ask the next question. e. Continue until everyone has had a chance to ask/answer a

question for this section.4. Continue reading each section and stopping to ask questions as

described above.5. Choose a score keeper to record how many points people in your

group earned. The person with the most points in each group will earn extra points.
