Disorders

• what is anemia 


  Low Iron = Low Red Blood Cells = Low Oxygen in blood, therefore you are tired and dizzy
• What is Arteriosclerosis 


  -Build up of plaque (fat and calcium) that narrows the diameter of the artery

  -causes Haight blood pressure

  -prevents blood from getting where it needs to
• Weakening of ordinary walls = aneurysm = blood clot (genetic, aging)
• anemia treatment 


  -Not enough red blood cells bringing oxygen

  -Iron deficiency - iron supplements + iron rich foods

  -Vitamin deficiency - foods rich in B/2
• Dental cavities 


  caused by bacteria in the mouth, produces acid as a by-product, acid eats away at the enamel (causes hole)
• Ulcers 


  Holes in G.I tract, caused by digestive juices
• Hepatitis 


  Inflammation in liver because of viruses, drugs and alcohol
• Cirrhosis 


  Scarring of liver because of inflammation
• Gall Stones


  Crystallization of bile in gall bladder.

  Stones block bile ducts
• Diarrhea 


  Frequent and loose liquid bowel movements

  Chime passes through L.I
• Constipation 


  Chyme passes through L.I too slowly, too much water causing stools to be hard and dry
• Hemorrhoids 


  Swelling and inflammation of veins
• Thrombosis 


  Formation of a blood clot within a blood vessel, potentially obstructing blood flow
• Ischemia


  Tissue death due to restricted blood and oxygen supply, often from a blockage
• Embolism 


  A floating clot that can lodge in blood vessels, causing blockages
• Angina 


  Chest pain from reduced blood flow to the heart, sometimes signaling a heart attack
• Aneurysm 


  A bulge in the an artery wall due to weakening, which can burst and cause internal bleeding
• Arteriosclerosis 


  Hardening and narrowing of arteries from plaque build up, raising blood pressure and risking blockage
• AutoImmune disorders 


  Conditions like Crohn’s disease, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, where the immune system attacks the body’s own cells
• Leukaemia 


  A cancer of blood forming tissues, leading to an abnormal production of WBC
• Hemophilia 


  A genetic disorder affecting blood clotting, leading to excessive bleeding
• Lymphoma 


  Cancer affecting lymph nodes and WBC production
• Anemia 


  A deficiency in RBC or hemoglobin, reducing oxygen transport and causing fatigue
• Mononucleosis (mono) 


  Often caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, it makes lymph nodes swell and can cause spleen enlargement
• HIV / AIDS


  HIV attacks immune cells, potentially leading to AIDS, where even minor infections can become life threatening
