Answer 1

Answer:Disorder of the nerve tissue: Parkinson disease

Step-by-step explanation:

Parkinson disease is a degenerative disorder of the brain. It affects the body’s movements and causes tremors, rigidity, slowness, and instability. A person with this disease may have trouble sleeping and comprehending information. The disease leads to the destruction of neurons. It also results in a consequent decrease in a chemical neurotransmitter (dopamine) that helps transmit nerve impulses to other regions of the brain. The cells in the substantia region of the brain, which help control movement, begin to degenerate. Although the disease is incurable, scientists are testing new therapies that use a precursor to dopamine to offset the decrease of dopamine in the brain.

Answer 2

Connective tissue disorders. Examples of connective tissues include fat, bone and cartilage. There are more than 200 of these types of diseases. Causes and symptoms of these disease vary based on the specific type. The symptoms tend to occur over long periods of times, which makes the diagnosis hard. Some symptoms include rash, off feeling, and muscle/joint pain. The precise cause is unknown. These diseases tend to be most common in women under 50. There’s no cure for these diseases but medication may help flare-ups.
