The really fat cat

 

 

 

The virtual patient is a cat who is really lazy and fat. And it's no longer just a cat-like lazyness, you suspect that there is something really wrong with the cat's physiology.

Teaching aims are:

  • Students need to learn about the physiology of the thyroid gland,
  • it's hormones and hormone effects
  • the concept of the feed-back mechanism.
