Included in this resource is a bundle of medical case studies to use in your anatomy or biology class - any class that teaches body systems. These case studies make students feel like doctors and they learn about body system functions and diseases:

10 Medical Anatomy Case Studies for grades 9+

• Circulatory System (tetrology of Fallot)
• Respiratory System (ARDS)
• Skeletal System (OI)
• Muscular System (BMD)
• Integumentary System (ichthyosis)
• Immune System (CGD)
• Digestive System (Pancreatitis)
• Nervous System (MS)
• Endocrine | Reproductive (PCOS)
• Excretory (renal acidosis)

Please note that the interactive class version (TEAMS) is currently available for circulatory, immune, nervous, endocrine, immune, and excretory systems and is a work in progress for the others.

What do these case studies include?

• A review of form and function for each body system; the function of the body system and how it is impaired with each disease
• Relationships: how other body systems might be affected by the disease
• Digital options
• Answer keys

TWO versions of each case study are offered:

✅ TEAMS version in which students present their findings as a class before students work in pairs or independently. They present as doctor or lab groups to the class to explore each body system.

✅ Traditional version where the information is all in one place. Students can work independently or in partners to read the text and answer the questions.
