Body System Diseases

Circulatory

Heart Attack
– When blood supply to the heart is
cut off or reduced, limiting the
supply of oxygen to the heart.

Heart Murmurs
– Sounds made as blood moves
through the heart. Defective
valves or holes in the heart walls
can result in murmurs.
Body System Diseases

Respiratory

Allergies
– An abnormal reaction to a normally
harmless substance (allergen). An
allergic person's body overreacts when
exposed to allergens.

Asthma
– Affects air passages in the lungs, making
them inflamed and swollen all the time.
During an attack, muscles around the
airways tighten, so less air flows through.
These changes make it harder to
breathe.
Body System Diseases

Nervous

Schizophrenia
– Typically have larger than normal lateral
ventricles in the brain, which contain
cerebrospinal fluid.
– Individuals have delusions,
hallucinations, disorganized thinking and
speech, catatonia, paranoia

Epilepsy
– Most cases caused by Head injuries,
Brain tumor, Stroke, Arteriosclerosis
(fatty plague build-up in arteries), Brain
injury before birth caused by infection or
lack of oxygen to the brain, or Infection,
such as meningitis or encephalitis
– Individuals repeatedly experience
seizures
Body System Diseases

Digestive

Crohn’s Disease
– An Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) which
causes inflammation and ulcers deep into the
lining of the large intestine.
– Symptoms include weight loss, loss of
appetite, fever, joint pains

Pinworm Infection
– Pinworms enter the body when eggs are
swallowed. They can cling to the fingers of
children, when they are infected and scratch
the contaminated area (the area around the
anus where the female worm deposits her
eggs) and then transfers the eggs to the
fingertips and from there to the mouth. Eggs
can cling to beds, clothing, doorknobs,
furniture, tubs, faucets and even food.
Body System Diseases

Excretory

Constipation
– When extra water is absorbed into the body
because the stool is slow moving through the
intestine, preventing the individual for having
a bowel movement.
– The reasons for this can include, not enough
fiber in the diet, lack of physical activity,
medications, abuse of laxatives･ignoring the
urge to have a bowel movement, dehydration,
stroke, diabetes, problems with the colon,
rectum and/or intestines

Diarrhea
– The passage of loose or watery stools (bowel
movements) that may also contain blood, pus
or mucus
– Can be caused by food allergies, bacterial
infection, or chronic diseases
Body System Diseases

Endocrine

Growth Hormone Malfunctions
– Pituitary tumors can lead to either too
much GH or not enough. A tumor that
limits the secretion of (GH) can stunt a
child's growth and cause low blood
sugar. Growth hormone secreting
tumors in growing children can boost
growth excessively so that, if not treated,
the children can grow unusually tall.

Hashimoto's disease
– A disease in which the immune system
attacks and destroys the thyroid gland
and there is an inflammation of the
thyroid gland.
– Life long medication is necessary
Body System Diseases

Muscular

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
– Develops in children at a young age. A
general weakness and enlarged clvies are
the first signs. As it slowly progresses a child
will lose the ability to walk, and eventually all
voluntary muscles will be affected.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or
Lou Gehrig's Disease
– Progressive muscle wasting disease that
occurs when the nerve cells that control
voluntary muscles are lost. As the nerve cells
die off, the muscles weaken and waste away.
Eventually paralysis occurs. ALS usually
shows itself in middle age and the disease
tends to progress rapidly but many people
survive for years with drug treatment.
Body System Diseases

Skeletal

Leukemia
– A kind of cancer in which abnormal white
blood cells multiply in an uncontrolled
manner. They interfere with the
production of normal white blood cells.
Leukemia affects the production of red
blood cells.

Talipes equinovarus (clubfoot)
– An abnormal condition of the foot,
present at birth. The foot is bent
downward and inward so that the person
can walk only on the toes and on the
outside of the foot. Sometimes the foot is
bent upward and outward so that the
person can use only the heel for walking.
Body System Diseases

Reproductiv
e

Gonorrhea
– Caused by a type of bacteria called Neisseria
gonorrhoeae. It easily grows in the mucous
membranes of the body and other warm moist
places. The female reproductive tract and the
urethra of both men and women are the most
common places infected, but not the only ones.
There are cases of eye and throat infections
caused by the bacteria.
– Can be treated and cured

Herpes
– Caused by a virus, not by bacteria. There are two
herpes viruses that are labeled sexually
transmitted, and it can be spread via genital
contact.Herpes is a common infection. The signs of
an infection are blisters that appear at the infection
site
– Can be treated but not cured
