3
Determined by genes Congenital disease is present at birth ◦ Others don’t show up until later in life Familial Disease Tendency ◦ Disease runs in family
4
Recessive gene disorders ◦ Need recessive gene from both parents ◦ Can be a carrier ◦ Cystic fibrosis & sickle cell anemia Down syndrome ◦ Born with extra chromosome
5
Sex-linked disorders ◦ Linked to x chromosome (female) ◦ Can be recessive in females ◦ Color blindness, hemophilia, & muscular dystrophy

Disease of Cardiovascular system CV system is… ◦ Heart ◦ Blood Vessels Arteries Vein Capillaries ◦ Blood
11
Hypertension Arteriosclerosis Atherosclerosis Heart Attack Stroke Arrhythmias Heart Valve Disorder Varicose Veins
12
High Blood Pressure Normal=120/80 Over 120/80= At risk High=150/90 Thickening of blood vessel walls Narrows passageways for blood
13
Hardening of the arteries Narrows blood vessels & blocks blood flow Atherosclerosis ◦ Fat deposits in blood vessels
14
Caused by lack of oxygen delivery to cells Coronary heart disease ◦ Blockage of coronary arteries ◦ Caused by fat deposits and/or blood clots ◦ Causes heart attack Cardiac Arrest ◦ Entire heart stops
15
Disrupts blood flow to brain No oxygen to brain Brain cells die Caused by fatty deposits, blood clots, or burst arteries Aneurysm ◦ Weak spot in blood vessel that can burst
16
Effects ◦ Speech ◦ Senses ◦ Movement ◦ Memory ◦ Behavior ◦ Depending on side of the brain
17
4 valves in heart 2 between atria & ventricle 2 between heart & arteries Bypass Surgery
18
Arrhythmias Abnormal heart beat Pacemaker Defibrillator Varicose Veins Large blue veinsLarge blue veins One-way valves don’t workOne-way valves don’t work
19
Electrocardiogram (ECG/ EKG) ◦ Graphs electrical impulses and heart beats Stress Test ◦ ECG during exercise Chest X-Ray ◦ Picture of heart
20
Don’t smoke Exercise regularly Manage stress Manage diet ◦ Avoid saturated fat & cholesterol ◦ Replace red meat with chicken and fish ◦ Eat more fruits & veggies ◦ Avoid sweets, oils, & fats

25
Early detection!!!!!!!! Screening ◦ Self-test ◦ Pap-test Cervical examination ◦ Colonoscopy Looks inside colon ◦ Biopsy Removal of cell/ tissue for examination
26
Chemotherapy ◦ Drugs that kill cancer cell ◦ Often taken in combination ◦ Pill or injection form Radiation Therapy ◦ Radiation can stop growth/ division of cancer cells Surgery ◦ Removal of tumor or cancer cells
