List of All disorders



Digestion and absorption

 Jaundice  liver affected, skin plus eyes becomes yellow   bile pigments deposited

 Vomiting is controlled by the medulla and nausea is followed by vomiting

Diarrhea  liquid fecal discharge,  reduced absorption of food

 Constipation  feces retained within the rectum

Indigestion Due to inadequate enzyme secretion  Overeating and spicy food

Breathing and exchange of gases

 Inflammation of bronchi and bronchiole, difficulty in breathing

 Emphysema  Alveolar walls damaged,  smoker’s disease, the major cause is cigarette smoking

Occupational respiratory disorders  long exposure to particulate matter causes inflammation of alveoli, and leads to fibrosis, eg: Silicosis & Asbestosis

 Body fluids and circulatory system

Hypertension  blood pressure is higher than normal [140/ 90 mmHg or higher]

                 Normal blood pressure range 120/80 mmHg

Hypotension  blood pressure is lower than normal  [100/ 70 mmHg or lesser]

Coronary heart disease

  • it is also known as atherosclerosis, 
  •  it is caused due to calcium deposition fat deposition
  •  cholesterol deposition, and  
  • fibrous tissue deposition

 Angina  It is an acute chest pain due to inadequate oxygen supply,  commonly found in middle age people.

Heart failure occurs when the heart fails to pump the required amount of blood out of the heart

  •  It mostly occurs due to congestion of the lungs and hence it is also called congestive heart failure

 Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating

 A heart attack is when the heart muscle is damaged due to an inadequate blood supply it is known as a heart attack


 Excretion and osmoregulation

Uremia is simply an accumulation of urea in the blood

Renal failure  here the kidney fails to filter the blood

Renal calculi  it is also known as kidney stones,  stones of salts like oxalate urate, etc are formed

Glomerulonephritis is the inflammation of the glomeruli of the kidney
