The skin is the biggest organ of the body. There are many diseases or abnormalities of the skin (IE, autoimmune problems).  First research one skin disease and explain to me what the prefix or suffix mean. I want a good explanation. Next tell me, what do dermatologists see?  (You have already explained the prefix and or suffix)

Remember, first state the 1. Word 2. Prefix and or suffix meanings, 3. then state the disease. What are the symptoms? How is it diagnosed? How does it affect the body? What does it look like? How is it treated? Is it life threatening? What med’s are used if any? How do people contract the disease? Any other info you can provide to help us understand the diseases. Please think outside the box and avoid duplicate posts. : )

AN EXAMPLE: I am going to choose a skin disease called Scleroderma. Prefix Sclero: means harding, Derma: means skin.  This is how all your paragraphs should begin in this course. Find strange diseases on the web too. This shows me you are trying hard. The first post is worth 30 points, so do a fantastic job! (You may not use this medical term, you will receive a zero for your post if this example is used as your initial post)

 If it was not for the skeletal system we would be like a jelly fish!   There are many diseases, deformities, or injuries to the skeletal system.  Research one disease, deformity, or injury pertaining to the skeletal system and explain to all of us about your selection and how the problem can be resolved. Remember, state the disease/illness/injury. The prefix and suffix – What are the symptoms? How is it diagnosed? How does it affect the body? What does it look like? How is it treated? Is it life threatening? What med’s are used if any? How do people contact the disease? Any other info you can provide to help us understand the diseases. Please again think outside the box and avoid duplicate posts.
