GUIDELINES: For your initial post you must: • Identify key anatomical features of your selected organ system, list them, and describe each briefly. • Identify key physiological functions of the organ system and its key histology features (i.e., the cell and tissue types found in this organ system) that enable its physiological functions. • List these features with a brief description of each physiological function and cell/tissue type. • List 2 interesting facts and 2 health issues related to this organ system. Include a brief description of each one. • List your research sources for the initial post such as valid websites (CDC, etc.), and links to the scientific articles, but NOT Wikipedia.
