Introduction recap:
The cell is the structural & and functional unit of living organisms capable of carrying out life processes. The normal functions of an organism, as a whole, are the outcome of the activities & and interactions of cells and their organelles. An organelle may be defined as a structure made of molecules organized in such a way that it can perform a specific function. Think of organelles as “tiny organs” that allow each cell to live. Even though organelles cannot survive outside the cell, without organelles, the cell itself could not survive either. Examples of organelles are the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and mitochondria.
Scenario/Summary
In this case study, we look at the clinical implications of what happens to a client when one of a cell's "tiny organ" organelles fails to function properly. In particular, we will use a lysosomal storage disease to demonstrate this.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS CONDITION
