KCON Night at the Museum with Bodies Revealed
November 14, 2019
The Bodies Revealed exhibition, returning to Grand Rapids after nearly a decade, features real, whole and partial body specimens that have been preserved through an innovative process, giving visitors the opportunity to view the complexity of their own organs and systems like never before.
KCON students will present posters at the Grand Rapids Public Museum from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 5, 2019, as part of their pathophysiology course and will feature examples of a human disease process emphasizing the current understanding of its pathophysiology. Pathophysiology is the science that connects diseases ("patho") of different parts of the human body with the effects of that disease on how the body functions ("physiology"). How a disease affects the structure of the body and the resulting abnormal function will lead to the symptoms and other exam findings that allow a health care professional to diagnose and treat the disease.
