Overview

In your exploration of readings this module, you will find articles of interest around the following areas: digestive system diseases and neurologic diseases. The key terms in the Explore section might give you some ideas for diseases to search. As you read the articles, be sure to consider how many of them have multiple issues going on within different systems. Is there a connection between the systems discussed?
