Anatomy Case Study – Marfan Syndrome

$3.50

Description

Your high school students will love learning about histology and connective tissue through this anatomy case study! This is a great addition to an Anatomy & Physiology, Health Sciences, or Medical Pathology course and the problem-based lessons provide a great example of real NGSS phenomena. In this case study, students learn about a disorder of the connective tissues known as Marfan Syndrome.  Anatomy case studies are perfect for extending thinking on a topic or for use as sub-plans. Answer keys are included.

Topics addressed: Marfan syndrome, wingspan, connective tissues, fibrillin, elastic fibers, mitral valve prolapse, myopia, autosomal dominant inheritance

 

Three versions are included:

1. Guided Case Study– Students are presented with the symptoms and diagnosis, then led through the related information about the condition. Questions are presented as a reading comprehension-style assignment. This is a great choice for struggling students or as a quick supplement to your unit.

2. Research-based Case Study– Students are presented with the symptoms and diagnosis. Websites are provided for additional information in order to answer the related questions about the condition. This is a great choice for more advanced/independent students or if you have more available class time.

*A digital page has been added to aid in the easy use of research links.

3. Digital Case Study- Students are provided the same links as the research-based study, but they are live websites for easy internet searching and questions are provided in a digital document or Google Form for easy grading. This is a great choice for 1:1 classrooms or independent learners that are familiar with Google Classroom.
