Question

Diseases can be caused by inherited disorders, exposure to toxic substances, organ malfunction and certain personal behaviors. Choose two of the above and for each one give a specific example of an associated disease using the lines below:

Answer 1

1) Inherited Disorder: I hope it means genetic disorders. Eg: Down syndrome
Exposure to toxic substances: Eg: Exposure to asbestos causes mesothelioma, which is a form of cancer that forms around lining of the lungs, heart and abdomen
Organ malfunction: Malfunction of the pancreas' causes diabetes.
Personal Behaviors: By this I think you mean Personality Disorders. If it is so.. Then eg: Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD)

2)The job of the immune system — which is a collection of structures and processes within the body — is to protect against disease or other potentially damaging foreign bodies. When functioning properly, the immune system identifies a variety of threats, including viruses, bacteria and parasites, and distinguishes them from the body’s own healthy tissue.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, autoimmunity results from a hyperactive immune system attacking normal tissues as if they were foreign bodies.
Common autoimmune diseases include Hashimoto's thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus type 1 and systemic lupus erythematosus.

3) CT Scan for diagnosis of tumors in brain ;Vaccination for the prevention of Polio.

4) Virus: Human immunodeficiency virus causes AIDS
Bacteria: Clostridium botulinum causes food poisoning.
Fungi: Candidiasis, also called thrush or moniliasis is a yeast infection caused by Candida albicans
Other Parasites: Entamoeba histolytica, a parasitic amoeba, causes amoebic dysentery, an intestinal disorder.

Answer 2

Organ malfunction and certain personal behaviors

Step-by-step explanation:

• Personal behaviors: Alcoholism is considered a disease by the WHO (World Health Organization). It is characterized by constant, uncontrolled and progressive use of alcoholic beverages can seriously compromise the proper functioning of the body, leading to irreversible consequences. The alcohol-dependent person not only harms his own life, but also affects his family, friends and co-workers.
• Organ malfunction: Kidney failure is the condition in which the kidneys lose their ability to perform their basic functions, including filtering blood to eliminate harmful substances in the body and maintaining the balance of electrolytes in the body. Chronic kidney disease is estimated to reach 10% of the world's population, affecting people of all ages, but especially the elderly.
