Hi,
please help me with my assignment.
1, What are the 12 organ system in a human body
2. How do the function

Crohn’s disease is an autoimmune chronic disease in which the individual’s immune system attacks its own intestines causing inflammation. Often the affected part is the final leg of the ileum or small intestine, although the disease can occur anywhere in the digestive tract.
The exact origin of the disease is unknown, but factors known genetic character and increase environmental risk. This evil is encompassed within the group of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, IBD), which is also part of ulcerative colitis.
The three most common types of Crohn’s response to the affected area of the intestines:
Ileal
ileocolonic
Colonic
Alternative Names of Crohn’s:
* Ileocolitis granulomatous
* Ileitis
* Inflammatory bowel disease
*Regional enteritis
* Segmental Colitis
Depending on the site of inflammation in Crohn’s disease is classified:
* Ileocolitis, is the most common form, affects the lower small intestine (ileum) and large intestine (colon).
* Enteritis Crohn’s affects the small intestine in general,
* Ileitis, which affects the final portion of the ileum or small intestine.
* Gastro duodenal Crohn’s disease, which causes inflammation in the stomach and first part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
* Jejunoileitis, which causes patches of inflammation in the upper half of the small intestine (jejunum)
* Colitis Crohn’s (granulomatous), which affects the colon.
The disease is characterized by periods of activity (flares) and inactivity (remission). These periods vary between patients in remission some tough years, but in other ongoing outbreaks may occur. The reference phases are characterized by the absence of symptoms; while in the phases of activity occur predominantly abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, obstruction and fever, loss of appetite and weight loss.
Crohn’s disease symptoms:
Patients with Crohn’s disease symptoms can be very variable. A few suffer almost no discomfort, a few others have severe and continuous discomfort, and most are between two extremes, with symptoms that come and go, generally improve with treatment.
Depending on its location of disease, symptoms may vary. People with small bowel involvement, the most common, are especially diarrhea, abdominal pain and what is called general symptoms: weakness, weight loss, and lack of appetite. In the case of colon involvement, will prevail diarrhea, sometimes bloody.
It also determines the type of disease symptoms. Patients with inflammatory symptoms often have more pain and diarrhea, while those who have symptoms of narrowing, have more pain, and may even bowel obstruction.
It is important to remember that Crohn’s can affect the anus, producing lesions of type fistula, abscess or ulcer, with associated discomfort.
Children with Crohn’s may experience delays in school performance, sexual development and growth.
Crohn’s disease Treatment:
Today, Crohn’s disease is not curable, but controllable, and most people can do a normal life. The goal of treatment is to prevent further outbreaks or reduce the duration of which they arise.
Alternative treatment diet: low-carb diets are based on the intake of specific carbohydrates and non-complex, which could be effective, more cases of ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s, although not in all cases. Crohn’s disease being one enfermdad autoimmune, the body attacks itself. But why? According to study this is because the immune system mistakes the body tissue structures of bacteria and viruses. Many of these bacteria feed on starch (a carbohydrate complex). Therefore eliminating much of diet and certain complex sugars such as lactose, these bacteria. Then the immune system becomes less aggressive and not so strongly attacks the intestines of the digestive system. For example, in the case of rheumatic autoimmune disease that usually causes intestinal inflammation and Crohn’s disease, is considering the possibility that the bacteria in question. Anyway, in the case of Crohn’s disease is often recommended to patients to avoid foods that will upset them. More specifically, if there is intestinal stricture not to take too much fiber. Another possible treatment is a diet which is based on only take high-calorie milkshakes as ensure, after a period of about 2 months the patient goes into remission and recovered the body mass, the symptoms disappear and the likelihood of returning to have another outbreak in the short term is minimal.
Herbal Treatment for Crohn’s Disease:
Boswellia and Ashwagandha are well known anti-inflammatory herbs. They have been shown effective in treating conditions such as crohn’s disease.

What do you think about the federally funded genetic resource consortium?
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/02/04/baby.dna.government/index.html
Started in the 1960s
“Newborn babies in the United States are routinely screened for a panel of genetic diseases. Since the testing is mandated by the government”
“samples are kept so that tests can be repeated, if necessary, and in case the DNA is ever need to help parents identify a missing or deceased child. The samples are also used for medical research”.
“Genetic testing for newborns started in the 1960s with testing for diseases and conditions that, if undetected, could kill a child or cause severe problems, such as mental retardation. Since then, the screening has helped save countless newborns.”
“the DNA samples are stored in state labs for anywhere from three months to indefinitely, depending on the state”
“the screening has helped save countless newborns.”
Sounds like a great program.

I WANT A LIST OF NON INFECTIOUS DISEASES?
Diseases not known to be caused by infectious agents include the three leading killers in the United States and other developed countries: HEART DISEASE, most CANCERS, and CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE (decreased blood circulation in the brain). Noninfectious illnesses include disorders as terrifying as ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE, which robs victims of their memory and their ability to reason, and as pesky as poison ivy.
Degenerative disorders, including ARTHRITIS, PARKINSON’S DISEASE, and ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE, involve the progressive breakdown of tissues and loss of function of parts of the body. Joints gradually become stiff; bones become brittle; blood vessels become blocked by deposits of fat. The incidence of these problems increases with age, and, in at least sme cases, progression can be slowed by good health habits.
Hope that helps! : )

Help Human Genetic Questions?
please help me with these questions, i dont get these!!!
1. a red flower with a white flower producing a pink flower is an example of what type of inheritance.
2. 1-22 chromosomes are call? 23rd pair of chromesomes is called?
3. What is the difference between polygenic, multiple alleles, codominance, and sex-linked inheritance.
4. what type of inheritance are blood types resulting from?
5. How are the following genetic diseases inherited: Cystic fibrosis, Tay-sachs, PKU, Huntington’s diesease, hemophilia, & homozygous recessive.
6. whats a heterozygous, homozgous dominant, & homozygous recessive?
7. Interpret a pedigree chart.
1. Incomplete dominance. ( The offspring are an intermediate of the parental types because neither the red or white allele is completely dominant to the other)
2. 1 -22 are called autosomal (normal body chromosomes) 23 is called the sex chromosomes because they determine the sex of the individual.
3. Polygenic is when a characteristic is determined by more than one gene eg height or skin tone.
Multiple alleles is where a characteristic is determined by more than one pair of alleles.
Co dominance is where two alleles are equally dominant and are both expressed in the phenotype.
eg In the human ABO blood grouping system A and B are codominant but are both dominant to O.
ie possible groups are Group A genotypes AA or AO
Group B genotypes BB or BO or Group AB genotype AB
Sex linked inheritance is where a gene is found on the X chromosome but not on the shorter Y chromosome.
Sex linked conditions are more common in males than females since males only have to have one recessive allele for it to be expressed , females must have two. Passed from mother to son (because father passes on the Y chromosome to his sons). For females to inherit a sex linked condition her father must be affected and her mother a carrier.
4. SEE ABOVE
5. Cystic fibrosis – autosomal recessive
Tay – Sachs – ?
PKU – inborn error in metabolism . Gene mutation resulting in failure to produce the enzyme required to metabolise phenylalanine in the diet.
Huntington’s disease – Autosomal dominant.
Haemophilia – Sex linked
6. Heterozygous – When an individual has two different alleles for a characteristic.
Homozygous means the individual carries two alleles which are the same for a particular characteristic.
eg Pea plants can be tall which is dominant (T) or dwarf which is recessive (t)
Heterozygous = Tt
Homozygous dominant = TT
Homozygous recessive = tt
7. Which pedigree chart????
Hope this helps!
