Chapter 1.7, Problem 17WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine: The example of a disease process that disrupts the process of homeostasis.
Introduction
Homeostasis is a self-regulatory process that helps in stabilizing the internal environment by adjusting the conditions of the body for survival. Many external factors can contribute to the disruption of homeostasis. The disruption of the homeostasis can lead to the accumulation of toxins or the cells not getting everything they need in order to function which can lead to disease or in some extreme cases death.

- Explain how genetics influences the development of disease?arrow_forwardNatural disease processes generally involve specific organ systems: Cardiovascular Disease involves the heart and/or blood vessels; Pulmonary Disease involves the lungs, etc. Trauma, on the other hand, involves areas or regions of the body and sometimes all the 'organ systems' in that area: for example, blunt trauma to the chest may cause damage to skin, skeletal muscle and ribs (musculoskeletal system), lungs, heart, and blood vessels. The groups of structures damaged are called "Injury Patterns," not to be confused with Pattern Injuries which are discussed in our text.
