Document Summary
We are never at a complete state of homeostasis abnormal. Disease = any state of disequilibrium; a change in function or structure that is considered. Symptoms = subjective indications or disease reported by the patient, such as pain, Visible to the eye dizziness and itching. Disorder = a functional abnormality not necessarily linked to a specific cause or physical. As more research is done, it is possible for a disorder to become a disease when abnormality causes are discovered. Neoplastic = cancerous (new cell growth when there shouldn"t be) Congenital not hereditary something went wrong for the fetus after it was. Degenerative = as we get older aging. Stress debate in field of medicine if stress can be a single cause of a disease but conceived and during the pregnancy stress can definitely be a further influence of disease. Example = recessive gene for sickle cell anemia in 8% of the african american population.
