Human medical conditions grouped by organ and human body systems.
11 Organ Systems of the Human Body
How many organ systems does the human body have?
The human body has 11 organ systems.

What are the organ systems of the human body?
  1. Brain & central nervous system (nervous system)

  2. Circulatory System

  3. Digestive System

  4. Endocrine System

  5. Integumentary system

  6. Lymphatic (immune) system

  7. Muscular system

  8. Reproductive System

  9. Respiratory System

  10. Skeletal System

  11. Urinary system
The human body is made up of several organ systems that all work together as a unit to make sure the body keeps functioning.
  1. Brain & central nervous system (nervous system)
    Nervous System
    The nervous system is the control center of the human body. It is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It receives and interprets stimuli and transmits impulses to organs. Your brain uses the information it receives to coordinate all of your actions and reactions.

  2. Circulatory System
    This system is made up of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. It is the body’s delivery system, concerned with circulating blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to every part of the body.

  3. Digestive System
    The purpose of the digestive system is to turn the food you eat into something useful for the body. When you eat, your body uses this system to digest food so your cells can use it to make energy. The organs involved in this system include the mouth, stomach, and intestines.

  4. Endocrine System
    This system is made up of a collection of glands, including the pituitary and thyroid glands, as well as the ovaries and testes. It regulates, coordinates, and controls a number of body functions by secreting chemicals into the bloodstream. These secretions help control moods, growth and development, and metabolism.

  5. Integumentary System
    This system consists of the skin, hair, nails, and sweat glands. Its main function is to act as a barrier to protect the body from the outside world. It also functions to retain body fluids, protect against disease, eliminate waste products, and regulate body temperature.

  6. Lymphatic (immune) system
    Lymphatic fluid, (lymph), & vesicles, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes and tonsils.

  7. Muscular System
    This system is made up of muscle tissue that helps move the body and move materials through the body. Quite simply, muscles move you. Muscles are bundles of cells and fibers that work in a simple way: they tighten up and relax.

  8. Reproductive System
    The human reproductive system ensures that humans are able to reproduce and survive as a species. It is made up of organs such as the uterus, penis, ovaries, and testes.

  9. Respiratory System
    The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. It consists of the nose, larynx, trachea, diaphragm, bronchi, and lungs.

  10. Skeletal System
    The skeletal system provides the shape and form for our bodies in addition to supporting and protecting our bodies, allowing bodily movement, producing blood cells, and storing minerals. This system consists of bones, cartilage, and joints.

  11. Urinary System
    The purpose of the urinary system is to filter out excess fluid and other substances from your bloodstream. Some fluid gets reabsorbed by your body but most gets expelled as urine. The organs found in this system are the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.

11 Organ Systems of the Human Body
1 Brain & central nervous system (nervous system) function: regulatory system that controls body movement, consciousness, intelligence, memory eg: brain, spinal cord, nerves
2 Circulatory System function: pumps blood to distribute hormones, nutrients and gases and removes wastes eg: heart, veins, arteries
3 Digestive System function: mechanically and chemically breakdowns food materials, absorbs nutrients and expels waste eg: stomach, liver, intestines
4 Endocrine System function: secretes hormones which regulate body and cellular growth, chemical levels in the body, and reproductive functions eg: pituitary gland, thyroid gland
5 Integumentary system function: provides protection regulates body temp, prevents water loss eg: skin, hair
6 Lymphatic (immune) system function: transports and filters lymph and initiates immune response eg: nodes, lymph vessels, spleen
7 Muscular system function: provides body movement and generates heat when muscles contract eg: muscles, tendons
8 Reproductive System function: produces sex cells, hormones and when in conjunction allows for fertilization eg: male: testes, seminal vesicles female: ovaries, uterus
9 Respiratory System function: responsible for the exchange of gases within the body between blood and lungs eg: lungs, trachea
10 Skeletal System function: provides support and strucutre, stores calcium, minerals, fats, marrow eg: Bones, Cartilage
11 Urinary system function: filters the blood and removes waste from it, concentrates waste into urine and expels urine from body eg: Kidneys, bladder

    Obstetrical Emergencies

    Obstetrical Emergencies

    Definition

    Obstetrical emergencies are life-threatening medical conditions that occur in pregnancy or during or after labor and delivery.

    Description

    There are a number of illnesses and disorders of pregnancy that can threaten the well-being of both mother and child. Obstetrical emergencies may also occur during active labor, and after delivery (postpartum).

    Obstetrical emergencies of pregnancy

  1182. Medico-legal cases with criminal activities, including women’s pregnancy issues

  1183. Maliciously impregnated.

  1184. ECTOPIC PREGNANCY. An ectopic, or tubal, pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants itself in the fallopian tube rather than the uterine wall. If the pregnancy is not terminated at an early stage, the fallopian tube will rupture, causing internal hemorrhaging and potentially resulting in permanent infertility.

  1185. PLACENTAL ABRUPTION. Also called abruptio placenta, placental abruption occurs when the placenta separates from the uterus prematurely, causing bleeding and contractions. If over 50% of the placenta separates, both the fetus and mother are at risk.

  1186. PLACENTA PREVIA. When the placenta attaches to the mouth of the uterus and partially or completely blocks the cervix, the position is termed placenta previa (or low-lying placenta). Placenta previa can result in premature bleeding and possible postpartum hemorrhage.

  1187. PREECLAMPSIA/ECLAMPSIA. Preeclampsia (toxemia), or pregnancy-induced high blood pressure, causes severe edema (swelling due to water retention) and can impair kidney and liver function. The condition occurs in approximately 5% of all United States pregnancies. If it progresses to eclampsia, toxemia is potentially fatal for mother and child.

  1188. PREMATURE RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES (PROM). Premature rupture of membranes is the breaking of the bag of waters (amniotic fluid) before contractions or labor begins. The situation is only considered an emergency if the break occurs before thirty-seven weeks and results in significant leakage of amniotic fluid and/or infection of the amniotic sac. Obstetrical emergencies during labor and delivery

  1189. AMNIOTIC FLUID EMBOLISM. A rare but frequently fatal complication of labor, this condition occurs when amniotic fluid embolizes from the amniotic sac and through the veins of the uterus and into the circulatory system of the mother. The fetal cells present in the fluid then block or clog the pulmonary artery, resulting in heart attack. This complication can also happen during pregnancy, but usually occurs in the presence of strong contractions.

  1190. INVERSION OR RUPTURE OF UTERUS. During labor, a weak spot in the uterus (such as a scar or a uterine wall that is thinned by a multiple pregnancy) may tear, resulting in a uterine rupture. In certain circumstances, a portion of the placenta may stay attached to the wall and will pull the uterus out with it during delivery. This is called uterine inversion.

  1191. PLACENTA ACCRETA. Placenta accreta occurs when the placenta is implanted too deeply into the uterine wall, and will not detach during the late stages of childbirth, resulting in uncontrolled bleeding.

  1192. PROLAPSED UMBILICAL CORD. A prolapse of the umbilical cord occurs when the cord is pushed down into the cervix or vagina. If the cord becomes compressed, the oxygen supply to the fetus could be diminished, resulting in brain damage or possible death.

  1193. SHOULDER DYSTOCIA. Shoulder dystocia occurs when the baby's shoulder(s) becomes wedged in the birth canal after the head has been delivered. Obstetrical emergencies postpartum

  1194. POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE OR INFECTION. Severe bleeding or uterine infection occurring after delivery is a serious, potentially fatal situation.

    Causes and symptoms

    Obstetrical emergencies can be caused by a number of factors, including stress, trauma, genetics, and other variables. In some cases, past medical history, including previous pregnancies and deliveries, may help an obstetrician anticipate the possibility of complications.

    Signs and symptoms of an obstetrical emergency include, but are not limited to:

    Diminished fetal activity. In the late third trimester, fewer than ten movements in a two hour period may indicate that the fetus is in distress.
    Abnormal bleeding. During pregnancy, brown or white to pink vaginal discharge is normal, bright red blood or blood containing large clots is not. After delivery, continual blood loss of over 500 ml indicates hemorrhage.
    Leaking amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid is straw-colored and may easily be confused with urine leakage, but can be differentiated by its slightly sweet odor.
    Severe abdominal pain. Stomach or lower back pain can indicate preeclampsia or an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy. Postpartum stomach pain can be a sign of infection or hemorrhage.
    Contractions. Regular contractions before 37 weeks of gestation can signal the onset of preterm labor due to obstetrical complications.
    Abrupt and rapid increase in blood pressure. Hypertension is one of the first signs of toxemia.
    Edema. Sudden and significant swelling of hands and feet caused by fluid retention from toxemia.
    Unpleasant smelling vaginal discharge. A thick, malodorous discharge from the vagina can indicate a postpartum infection. Fever. Fever may indicate an active infection.
    Loss of consciousness. Shock due to blood loss (hemorrhage) or amniotic embolism can precipitate a loss of consciousness in the mother.
    Blurred vision and headaches. Vision problems and headache are possible symptoms of preeclampsia.

    Diagnosis

    Diagnosis of an obstetrical emergency typically takes place in a hospital or other urgent care facility. A specialist will take the patient's medical history and perform a pelvic and general physical examination. The mother's vital signs are taken, and if preeclampsia is suspected, blood pressure may be monitored over a period of time. The fetal heartbeat is assessed with a doppler stethoscope, and diagnostic blood and urine tests of the mother may also be performed, including laboratory analysis for protein and/or bacterial infection. An abdominal ultrasound may aid in the diagnosis of any condition that involves a malpositioned placenta, such as placenta previa or placenta abruption.

    In cases where an obstetrical complication is suspected, a fetal heart monitor is positioned externally on the mother's abdomen. If the fetal heart rate is erratic or weak, or if it does not respond to movement, the fetus may be in distress. A biophysical profile (BPP) may also be performed to evaluate the health of the fetus. The BPP uses data from an ultrasound examination to analyze the fetus size, movement, heart rate, and surrounding amniotic fluid.

    If the mother's membranes have ruptured and her cervix is partially dilated, an internal fetal scalp electrode can be inserted through the vagina to assess heart rate. A fetal oximetry monitor that measures the oxygen saturation levels of the fetus may also be attached to the scalp.

    Treatment

    Obstetrical emergencies of pregnancy

    ECTOPIC PREGNANCY. Treatment of an ectopic pregnancy is laparoscopic surgical removal of the fertilized ovum. If the fallopian tube has burst or been damaged, further surgery will be necessary.

    PLACENTAL ABRUPTION. In mild cases of placental abruption, bed rest may prevent further separation of the placenta and stem bleeding. If a significant abruption (over 50%) occurs, the fetus may have to be delivered immediately and a blood transfusion may be required.

    PLACENTA PREVIA. Hospitalization or highly restricted at-home bed rest is usually recommended if placenta previa is diagnosed after the twentieth week of pregnancy. If the fetus is at least 36 weeks old and the lungs are mature, a cesarean section is performed to deliver the baby.

    PREECLAMPSIA/ECLAMPSIA. Treatment of preeclampsia depends upon the age of the fetus and the acuteness of the condition. A woman near full term who has only mild toxemia may have labor induced to deliver the child as soon as possible. Severe preeclampsia in a woman near term also calls for immediate delivery of the child, as this is the only known cure for the condition. However, if the fetus is under 28 weeks, the mother may be hospitalized and steroids may be administered to try to hasten lung development in the fetus. If the life of the mother or fetus appears to be in danger, the baby is delivered immediately, usually by cesarean section.

    PREMATURE RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES (PROM). If PROM occurs before 37 weeks and/or results in significant leakage of amniotic fluid, a course of intravenous antibiotics is started. A culture of the cervix may be taken to analyze for the presence of bacterial infection. If the fetus is close to term, labor is typically induced if contractions do not start within 24 hours of rupture.

    Obstetrical emergencies during labor and delivery

    AMNIOTIC FLUID EMBOLISM. The stress of contractions can cause this complication, which has a high mortality rate. Administering steroids to the mother and delivering the fetus as soon as possible is the standard treatment.

    INVERSION OR RUPTURE OF UTERUS. An inverted uterus is either manually or surgical replaced to the proper position. A ruptured uterus is repaired if possible, although if the damage is extreme, a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be performed. A blood transfusion may be required in either case if hemorrhaging occurs.

    PLACENTA ACCRETA. Women who experience placenta accreta will typically need to have their placenta surgically removed after delivery. Hysterectomy is necessary in some cases.

    PROLAPSED UMBILICAL CORD. Saline may be infused into the vagina to relieve the compression. If the cord has prolapsed out the vaginal opening, it may be replaced, but immediate delivery by cesarean section is usually indicated.

    Obstetrical emergencies postpartum

    POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE OR INFECTION. The source of the hemorrhage is determined, and blood transfusion and IV fluids are given as necessary. Oxytocic drugs may be administered to encourage contraction of the uterus. Retained placenta is a frequent cause of persistent bleeding, and surgical removal of the remaining fragments (curettage) may be required. Surgical repair of lacerations to the birth canal or uterus may be required. Drugs that encourage coagulation (clotting) of the blood may be administered to stem the bleeding. Infrequently, hysterectomy is required.

    In cases of infection, a course of intravenous antibiotics is prescribed. Most postpartum infections occur in the endometrium, or lining of the uterus, and may be also caused by a piece of retained placenta. If this is the case, it will also require surgical removal.

    SHOULDER DYSTOCIA. The mother is usually positioned with her knees to her chest, known as the McRoberts maneuver, in an effort to free the child's shoulder. An episiotomy is also performed to widen the vaginal opening. If the shoulder cannot be dislodged from the pelvis, the baby's clavicle (collarbone) may have to be broken to complete the delivery before a lack of oxygen causes brain damage to the infant.

    Prognosis

    If a fetus is close to full-term (37 weeks) and the complication is detected early enough, the prognosis is usually good for mother and child. With advances in neonatal care, approximately 85% of infants weighing less than 3 lbs 5 oz survive, and these infants are being delivered at 28 weeks and younger. However, preterm infants have a greater chance of serious medical problems, and developmental disabilities occur in 25-50%. They also have a higher incidence of learning disorders, and are four to six times more likely to be diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

    Prevention

    Proper prenatal care is the best prevention for obstetrical emergencies. When complications of pregnancy do arise, pregnant women who see their OB/GYN on a regular basis are more likely to get an early diagnosis, and with it, the best chance for fast and effective treatment. In addition, eating right and taking prenatal vitamins and supplements as recommended by a physician will also contribute to the health of both mother and child.

    What Is A Gynecological Disorder?
    Terminology: Gynecology is a branch of medicine that specializes in the treatment of women - specifically, the treatment of diseases and problems of the reproductive organs. A doctor who practices this branch of healthcare is called a gynecologist. Obstetrics is a branch of medicine that deals with the care of women in pregnancy and childbirth. A physician who practices obstetrics is called an obstetrician. Very often a doctor may qualify in both areas and is called an OBGYN.

    A gynecological disorder is a condition which affects the female reproduction organs, namely the breasts and organs in the abdominal and pelvic area including the womb (uterus), ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina and vulva. Virtually every woman will suffer a gynecological condition at some point in her life. For most, it will be minor and easily treatable, but for others their condition may have devasting consequences - impacting their ability to have children and even, with some illnesses, threaten their life.

    What Are The Most Common Gynecological Problems?
    1. Painful Intercourse
    Also called dyspareunia, the causes of painful intercourse vary and range from physical problems to psychological ones. Most women experience symptoms of painful intercourse at some stage of their life. The treatment focuses on curing the underlying cause, to help eliminate the problem.
    2. Pelvic Pain
    In general pelvic pain signals that there could be a problem with one of the organs located in the area, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus, vagina, rectum or lower intestines. Common causes include ovarian cysts, endometriosis, uterine fibroids.
    3. Pelvic Disorders
    This refers to any disorder of the pelvic region, including all of those mentioned above. Other common pelvic disorders include:
    • Bowel disorders like constipation, diarrhea and bloating.
    • Urinary tract infections.
    • Urinary incontinence.
    • Uterine fibroids.
    • Uterine prolapse.
    4. STDs
    STDs cause all sorts of gyno issues. Read about the symptoms of STDs, relates to chancroid, chlamydia, crabs, gonorrhea, genital herpes, genital warts and HPV virus.
    5. Vulvodynia
    All chronic vulva pain that does not appear to have an obvious cause is grouped under the general diagnosis of vulvodynia. The possible causes of vulva pain include yeast infections, HPV infections and injury to the area. The symptoms of vulva pain are characterized by burning, stinging or sharp pain in the vulva. Treatment of vulvodynia is difficult unless an obvious cause is identified.
    6. Vaginitis
    The most common types of vaginitis are yeast infections, trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis. Vaginitis literally means 'inflammation' and is characterized by burning and itching around the vulva and the presence of a strong smelling discharge. It is usually caused by an infection or poor diet.

    What Are The Most Common Symptoms?
    The symptoms of a gynecological disorder will vary according to the condition. See our symptom checker: reproductive system disorders.
    The most common symptoms which indicate a problem are:
    • Bleeding between periods or during or after intercourse.
    • Sores or lumps on the genitals.
    • Increased vaginal discharge, particularly if it smells unusual.
    • Itching, burning or swelling in the vaginal area.
    • Pain in the pelvis area that is not related to menstrual cramps.
    • Burning sensation when you urinate.

    While vaginal bleeding and discharge is a normal part of a menstrual cycle, if you notice anything unusual or different consult a doctor. While most conditions result from mild infections and are easy to treat, if not treated they can develop into more serious problems like infertility or kidney disorders.

  2713. Rickets

  2714. 1. Simple
    A simple fracture is a clean break in a bone causing no (or very little) disturbance to the overlying skin. There are several sub-types of "simple fracture", i.e. terms that can be used to describe specific simple fractures in more detail:
    •Simple transverse fractures - at right-angles or almost right-angles to the long axis of the bone. Transverse fractures are sometimes called "chalkstick fractures" because the broken bone has been said to resemble a broken stick of chalk.
    •Simple oblique fractures - are those in which the break is at an angle of 30 degrees (30o) or more to the long axis of the bone.
    •Simple spiral fractures - the line of the fracture spirals around the bone, can be due to torsional forces.

    2. Greenstick
    A greenstick fracture is an incomplete break in a bone (i.e. loss of continuity in the structure of the bone) in which part of the outer-shell of the bone remains intact.

    Greenstick fractures tend to occur in children, whose bones are more flexible (less brittle) than those of adults - but not all fractures in children are greenstick fractures. Healing of greenstick fractures is usually relatively quick.

    3. Compound (= "open")
    A compound fracture (also called an open fracture) involves a broken bone piercing and often protruding through the overlying skin. If the bone is not visibly exposed as a result of having broken through the skin it is still a compound/open fracture if the bone did so at some stage but has since reverted back or been moved within the overlaying skin. There are two types of compound fractures:
    •Fracture open from within out - meaning that the broken bone pushed outwards breaking the skin from the inside of the body, and
    •Fracture open from without in - meaning that the skin was first broken by trauma from outside the body directed inwards towards the body/bone, sometimes with severe force.

    Of the 2 types of open fractures, those open from without in generally involve more severe damage and risk of infection than those open from within out.

    4. Comminuted (= "multifragmentary")
    A comminuted fracture is also known as a multifragmentary fracture and is characterized by the bone being broken into more than two pieces. There are several sub-types of "comminuted fracture" or "multifragmentary fracture" that describe specific forms of these fractures in more detail, e.g.:
    •Spiral wedge fracture - due to torsional force(s)
    •Bending wedge fracture - usually due to direct or indirect violence
    •Complex spiral fracture - has more than one spiral element
    •Complex segmental fracture - has one or more distinct "complete" sections of bone, as opposed to multiple small irregular fragments
    •Complex irregular fracture - the bone between the main (largest) sections is broken into many irregular pieces or fragments, some of which may be very small.

    Knowledge of these terms is rarely needed for first-level courses / exams but may be helpful to therapists, nurses and other professionals whose work involves communication with medical descriptions and specialists.

    5. Impacted
    An impacted fracture is a loss in continuity in the structure of bones i.e. breaks or cracks, in which at least one bone (or fragment of bone) has been driven into another.

    6. Complicated
    A complicated fracture is a broken bone that has also damaged surrounding structures or organs, e.g. a broken rib that has punctured a lung.

    7. Hairline
    A hairline fracture is the result of insufficient trauma (e.g. force or impact) to cause much movement between the fragments of bone. The damage may be difficult to find and identify, even using X-rays. Sometimes another set of images is taken 7-10 days after the first to check.

    A hairline fracture is sometimes referred to colloquially as a "crack" or "cracked bone".

    8. Compression (= "crush")
    A compression fracture (also called a crush fracture) happens when cancellous bone is compressed by force(s) greater than the bone can withstand. Examples include:
    •Compression of vertebrae e.g. due to excessive flexion and compression
    •Compression of the calcaneus (heel bone) e.g. due to a heavy fall / fall from height.

    9. Fatigue
    A fatigue fracture can result from mechanical stresses applied to a bone too frequently, i.e. more often than the bone structure can withstand without sustaining incremental damage/weakness over time. (The term "fatigue fracture" is also used with the same meaning in the context of metals and metallurgy.)

    10. Pathological
    A pathological fracture is a break in (i.e. loss of continuity in the substance of) a bone when the bone itself is either abnormal or diseased. See also pathological fracture and bone disorders.

    2. Postural Deformities
    1. Kyphosis
    Excessive outward curvature of the spine, causing hunching of the back.

    2. Lordosis
    Inward curvature of the spine. Some lordosis in the lumbar and cervical regions of the spine is normal. Exaggerated lordosis may occur in adolescence - possibly as a result of faulty posture, or due to disease affecting the vertebrae and spinal muscles.

    3. Scoliosis
    Lateral (sideways) deviation of the spine. Scoliosis may be caused by congenital or acquired abnormalities of the vertebrae, muscles, and/or nerves.
    Treatment may involve the use of spinal braces and, in cases of severe deformity. surgical correction by fusion or osteotomy.

    3. Other Skeletal Conditions (and their causes and effects)

    Condition

     

    Cause

     

    Effect

    Arthritis

     

    Over 200 diseases may cause arthritis, including:

     

    Swelling, warmth, redness of the overlying skin, pain, restriction of motion.

    Inflammation of one or more joints

     

    osteoarthritis
    rheumatoid arthritis
    gout
    tuberculosis, and other infections.

    Osteo Arthritis

     

    Osteo-arthritis is due to wear of the articulatory cartilage, and may lead to secondary changes in the underlying bone.
    It may be primary, or it may occur secondarily to abnormal load to the joint or damage to the cartilage from inflammation or trauma.

     

    The joints are painful and stiff with restricted movement. Osteoarthritis is recognized on X-ray by narrowing of the joint space (due to loss of cartilage) and the presence of osteophytes, osteosclerosis, and cysts in the bone.

    Degenerative joint disease

     

    Rheumatoid Arthritis

     

    Rheumatoid Arthritis is a disease of the synovial lining of joints: The joints are initially painful, swollen, and stiff and are usually affected symmetrically.
    (Onset can be at any age, and these is considerable risk of severity. Women are at greater risk. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, and most patients show presence of rheumatoid factor in their serum*.)

     

    As the disease progresses the ligaments supporting the joints are damaged and there is erosion of the bone, leading to deformity of the joints. Tendon sheaths can be affected, leading to tendon rupture.

    (The second most common form of arthritis, after osteo arthritis)

     

    Bone Cancer

     

    Bone cancer may occur as a secondary cancer from, for example, prostate cancer

     

    Damage to stem cells (the cause of leukaemia).

     

    Gout

     

    Gout is caused by a defect in uric acid balance in the metabolism - resulting in an excess of the acid and its salts (urates) which then accumulate in the bloodstream and joints, respectively.

     

    Gout can result in attacks of acute gouty arthritis, chronic destruction of the joints, and deposits of urates (tophi) in the skin and cartilage - especially of the ears.
    The excess urates also damage the kidneys, in which stones may form.

     

    Osteoporosis

     

    Infection, injury and synovitis can cause localized osteoporosis of adjacent bone.
    Generalised osteoporosis is common in the elderly, and in women often follows the menopause. It is also a feature of Cushing's disease and prolonged steroid therapy.

     

    Bones that are brittle and liable to fracture.

    Loss of bone tissue.

     
     
     
     

    Rickets

     

    Rickets is a childhood condition caused by insufficient vitamin D and Calcium

     

    Bow legs.

    Childhood disease

    Lymphatic (immune) system

    Lymphatic disease is a class of disorders which directly affect the components of the lymphatic system.

  2889. Examples include Castleman's disease

  2890. Diseases and disorder Hodgkin's Disease/Hodgkin's Lymphoma

  2891. Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
    Lymphoma is a usually malignant cancer. It is caused by the body producing too many abnormal white blood cells. It is not the same as Hodgkin's Disease. Symptoms usually include painless, enlarged lymph node or nodes in the neck, weakness, fever, weight loss, and anemia.

  2892. Lymphadenitis is an infection of the lymph nodes usually caused by a virus, bacteria or fungi. Symptoms include redness or swelling around the lymph node.

  2893. Lymphangitis
    Lymphangitis is an inflammation of the lymph vessels. Symptoms usually include swelling, redness, warmth, pain or red streaking around the affected area.

  2894. Lymphedema
    Lymphedema is the chronic pooling of lymph fluid in the tissue. It usually starts in the feet or lower legs. It's also a side-effect of some surgical procedures.

  2895. Lymphocytosis
    Lymphocytosis is a high lymphocyte count. It can be caused by an infection, blood cancer, lymphoma, or autoimmune disorders that are accompanied by chronic swelling.

Types Of Blood Diseases

There are many different blood diseases that are diagnosed and treated by hematologists. Some of these are benign (non-cancerous) and others are types of blood cancer. They can involve one or more of the three main types of blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). They can also involve blood proteins involved in clotting. Not every blood disorder requires treatment. This is a list of some of the more common blood disorders treated by community hematologists.

Red Blood Cell Disorders – Deficiencies or abnormalities in the red blood cells.

Anemia – A deficiency in the number of red blood cells often causing weakness and pallor. There are many potential causes of anemia.

Aplastic Anemia – A type of anemia occurring when the bone marrow fails to produce enough of all three types of blood cells: red cells, white cells, and platelets. The Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation, Inc. is a good resource to learn more about this disorder..

Sickle Cell Anemia – an inherited blood disorder where blood cells are sickle (or “C”) shaped and block blood flow. Clumps of sickle cells block blood flow to the limbs and organs, and can cause pain, serious infection, and organ damage. The American Sickle Cell Anemia Association, a nonprofit organization providing a wide range of services to those individuals and families with either sickle cell anemia, sickle cell trait, or variants of the disease.

Platelet Disorders – (usually a deficiency in platelets leading to easy bruising and excessive bleeding)

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) – A clinical syndrome where a decreased number of platelets causes bleeding, and easy bruising. ITP Science includes information about diagnosing ITP, treatment goals, as well as helpful information for patients recently diagnosed with the disorder.

Essential Thrombocytosis – A disorder in which platelets are overproduced, which can lead to both blood clotting and bleeding.

Clotting Disorders – Problems affecting the ability to clot blood, leading to excessive bleeding or excessive clotting. The Coagulation Factors site features articles and news on coagulation disorders, and also includes a health directory and information on clinical trials for coagulation disorder patients.

Hemophilia – A bleeding disorder caused by a problem in one of the factors of blood clotting.

Von Willebrand Disease – A hereditary disease where there is a deficiency of the von Willebrand factor, which is a factor that affects platelet function. This often leads to excessive bleeding.

Hypercoagulable states – These are inherited or acquired abnormalities that increase a person’s risk of developing a blood clot. Examples include Factor V Leiden mutations, Protein C deficiency, and Lupus anticoagulant.

Hemochromatosis – A disorder where patients absorb extra amounts of iron from their daily diet and over time. The excess iron can build up in organs such as the heart, liver, and pancreas. If left untreated, diabetes, heart disease and liver failure can result.

What are skills?
A skill is the learned ability to carry out a task with pre-determined results often within a given amount of time, energy, or both. In other words the abilities that one possesses. Skills can often be divided into domain-general and domain-specific skills. For example, in the domain of work, some general skills would include time management, teamwork and leadership, self motivation and others, whereas domain-specific skills would be useful only for a certain job.

Is there a difference between human organ system functions and abilities?
Yes.

What is the difference between human organ system functions and abilities?
Human pulse, blood pressure, temperature, consciousness, and respiratory rate are signs of human organ system functions.
These signs exist from birth onwards. These are signs of human organ system functions; they are not abilities.
Abilities are learned gradually after birth.

This example will make you understand.
English language reading abilities.
English language speaking abilities.
English language understanding abilities.
English language writing abilities.

If an individual does not have English language reading, speaking, understanding, and writing abilities, that does not mean there is impairment of human organ system functions.
These are all learned abilities.
If an individual is educated properly, he or she will learn these abilities.

What are the vital signs of human organ systems functions?
Consciousness
Pulse
Blood pressure
Respiratory rate
Temperature
Pain

In some regions, consciousness and pain are not considered vital signs.

What are the differences between abilities of a newborn and abilities of an 18-year-old human?
A newborn does not have any learned abilities.
A newborn has five findings: Breathing effort, Heart rate, Muscle tone, Response to smell or foot slap, Skin color.
A doctor of medicine calls this Apgar scoring.
Apgar scoring determines the health of a newborn. These findings are due to human organ systems’ functions.
Sucking reflex, defecation, urination, and crawling are monitored later.

A human learns more than 600 abilities from birth up to 18 years.

What should you know about human organ systems’ functions?
Human organ systems functions exist from birth.

How is a human body organized?
Cells are the basic unit of life.
Tissues are clusters of cells that perform a similar function.
Organs are made of tissues that perform one specific function.
Organ systems are groups of organs that perform a specific purpose in the human body.

The purpose of the 11 organ systems is for the human body to maintain homeostasis.
