Q Module 1Critical Thinking Assignment Disruption in the Structure or Function of the Endocrine System The endocrine system plays an essential role in maintaining homeostasis and interacts with body organs and systems to coordinate body functions. For this assignment option, identify a factor or situation that could cause a disruption in the structure or function of the endocrine system (e.g., hypothyroidism). • Summarize the factors that caused the disruption and describe the changes that occurred in the endocrine system as a result of the disruption. • Identify the short-term and long-term consequences of the changes. • Discuss the necessary interventions to return the body to its homeostatic balance. Requirements: • Your paper should be 2-3-pages in length, excluding title and reference pages. • Conform to APA guidelines in the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). • Include at least two scholarly references in addition to the course textbook. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these references.
