1. Interconnected Pathophysiology: Choose ONE pathology from today's lab. Explain how a malfunction in that primary system triggers a cascade of complications in a SECONDARY body system.
2. Homeostasis Analysis: Identify a body system from the lab that plays a vital role in removing metabolic waste. How would cellular survival be affected if this system experienced clinical failure?
3. [Bonus Extension] Custom Medical Domino: If you filled out the bonus "Create-Your-Own" domino card, outline your chosen clinical system, the key organs, and the pathology you selected below.

Q2: How does studying pathology help us appreciate the normal physiological function of a system?
Teacher Talking Point: Clinical failure of an organ demonstrates its vital necessity to the body's homeostatic balance (e.g., how the kidney failure in CKD causes fatal systemic toxicity).

| 4 | Nervous System | Diabetes, Addison's, Thyroid, Cushing's | Matches Endocrine System profile (Pancreas, thyroid, adrenals). |
| 5 | Endocrine System | Lymphedema, Lymphoma, Lupus, HIV | Matches Lymphatic System profile (Lymph nodes, spleen, thymus). |
| 6 | Lymphatic System | Melanoma, Psoriasis, Shingles, Eczema | Matches Integumentary System profile (Skin, hair, nails). |
| 7 | Integumentary System | Osteo, Scoliosis, Rickets, Arthritis | Matches Skeletal System profile (Bones, joints, cartilage). |
| 8 | Skeletal System | Muscular Dystrophy, MG, Fibromyalgia | Matches Muscular System profile (Skeletal/smooth muscle, tendons). |
| 9 | Muscular System | CKD, Kidney Stones, UTIs, PKD | Matches Urinary System profile (Kidneys, bladder, urethra). |
| 10 | Urinary System | Infertility, Ovarian/Endo Cancer, PCOS | Matches Reproductive System profile (Ovaries, testes, uterus). |
| 11 | Reproductive System | Athero, Heart Attack, Stroke, Anemia | Matches Circulatory System profile (Heart, arteries, veins). (Loops to #1!) |
Q1: Interconnected Pathophysiology Cascade
Example Answer 1 (Stroke): If a patient has Atherosclerosis (Circulatory System blockage), a plaque can rupture causing a cerebral embolism (Stroke) which blocks oxygen supply to the Brain (Nervous System). This damages neural tissues, causing rapid loss of speech or motor control.
Example Answer 2 (Rickets): Pediatric vitamin D deficiency prevents proper calcium absorption, causing weak bones (Rickets, Skeletal System failure). This structural malformation compromises thoracic volume, directly restricting physical lung expansion (Respiratory System).
Q2: Homeostatic Waste Removal & Failure
Example Answer: The Urinary System (via Kidneys) filters nitrogenous metabolic wastes (like urea) from blood. If it experiences clinical failure (Chronic Kidney Disease), urea builds up in tissues causing fatal uremic poisoning, systemic swelling due to fluid retention, and cardiac arrest due to severe electrolyte (potassium) imbalances.
