The Nervous System (NS)

Type your answers directly on this form. Save it correctly. Then attach it and submit in BB.

Most diseases of the nervous system can be classified as affecting function or are vascular.

The diseases can be classified as chronic or communicable. There are also conditions that are not classified as diseases (like injuries).

Finally they involve other body systems. In this assignment you will be asked to classify and identify these aspects of a variety of diseases.

1.List four nervous system conditions/diseases that affect function. These are diseases that affect your ability to do things.

2.List one disease that is vascular.

3.For each of the diseases/disorders listed below—list the other body system(s) that is/are affected or involved with each disease/disorder (beyond the NS). Notethey may affect more than one other body system. You need to list all the systems involved

Part I

List the disease below

Explain how it affects the functioning of one system from this week(respiratory, digestive, muscular, or skeletal).

Explain how it affects a second one of the systems (from a prior week)cardiovascular, blood, immune, lymph, nervous, senses, skin

EX.. ( I am using one not on the list)

Spinal Stenosis

It causes a narrowing in spinal column (skeletal).

Nervous-it causes pressure on nerves that can lead to numbness in legs or weakness in legs

Now your answer

Part 2

Choose one disease from any four of the systems studied this week (respiratory, digestive, skeletal or muscular). List it below

Explain which population is most at risk and why (eg, children because it has to do with losing immunity, Hispanic women because they have higher rates of blood pressure than others, people with Mediterranean descent because it is genetically passed).
