       A disease is a particular abnormal condition that negatively affects the structure or function of all or part of an organism, and that is not immediately due to any external injury. Diseases are often known to be medical conditions that are associated with specific signs and symptoms.

How are they similar?
       A disorder is also a collection of signs and symptoms, but it has known associated features that are presumed to be related. A disease is an involuntary physiological or biological illness that typically has some underlying cause.

 How are they different?
      While these two terms are often used interchangeably by healthcare providers, there are subtle differences. A disease is distinct and measurable. A disorder might indicate might indicate that a specific disease is possible but there is not enough clinical evidence for diagnosis ]]> 2022-11-07 18:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/avargas0258/p1cljdcda4jklllp/wish/2373620299 Basic Chemistry avargas0258 https://padlet.com/avargas0258/p1cljdcda4jklllp/wish/2377564599 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd4a1X3B61w 

Identify a disease or disorder caused by a vitamin or nutrient deficiency?
These include, but are not limited to, Protein Energy malnutrition, Scurvy, Rickets, Beriberi, Hypocalcemia, Osteomalacia, Vitamin, K Deficiency ,Pellagra, Xerophthalmia, and Iron Deficiency. 

Give a brief description of the disease/disorder, symptoms, and treatment.
A disease is a Particular abnormal condition that negatively affect the structure or function of all or part an organism, and that is not immediately due to any external injury.

scurvy-a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, characterized by swollen bleeding gums and the opening of previously healed wounds, which particularly affected poorly nourished sailors

rickets- is a disease of children caused by vitamin D deficiency, characterized by imperfect calcification, softening, and distortion of the bones typically resulting in bow legs.

 osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine. Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced.

 beriberi- Is something that affects the cardiovascular system and dry Beriberi which affects the nervous system.

Anemia-anemia is results from a lack of red blood cells or dysfunctional red blood cells in the body. This leads to reduced oxygen flow to the body's organs.
 pellagra- It affects the whole body and can eventually lead to death. Primary pellagra is caused by a lack of niacin in your diet. It usually occurs in poor and food-limited populations

 xerophthalmia-Night blindness, an eye disease in which you can't see in dim light. Drying and wrinkling of the outer layer of your eye, or conjunctiva.

Your skin protects your body from germs and regulates body temper

Identify: Body membranes are thin sheets of tissue that cover the body, line body cavities, and cover organs within the cavities in hollow organs. Two main categories of body membranes are epithelial and connective tissue membranes

Description: A disease is a particular abnormal condition that negatively affects the structure or function of all or part of an  organism, and that is not immediately due to any external  injury Diseases are often known to be medical conditions that are associated with specific signs and symptoms.

Examples: People with cystic fibrosis may often have sinus infections, bronchitis or pnuemonia Infection with bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics and difficult to treat is common.

Some common physical features of Down syndrome include A flattened face, especially the bridge of the nose. Almond-shaped eyes that slant up. carcinomas include prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. Sarcomas. A sarcoma begins in the tissues that support and connect the body.

It gives the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs and stores minerals. The skeletal system is also called the musculoskeletal system.Osteoporosis common disease occurs when bones become weak due to changes in bone mineral density and mass, causing a higher risk for fractures Osteoporosis. This common disease occurs when bones become weak due to changes in bone mineral density and mass, causing a higher risk for fracturesthe skeletal system, including bone Fractures and bone cancers However, the two most common disorders of the skeletal system are osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Symptomatic treatment, supportive care, supportive therapy, or palliative treatment is any medical therapy of a disease that only affects its symptoms, Not the underlying cause. ]]> 2023-01-27 18:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/avargas0258/p1cljdcda4jklllp/wish/2459341810
