NON- COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
What is it
??????
 Other
illnesses caused by how people
live, by conditions they are born with,
or by hazards around them.
 Most noncommunicable diseaes are
present over a long time, often years.
 These illnesses are called chronic
diseases
 Noncommunicable diseases result in
the breakdown of the body’s tissue.
 Degenerative diseases
Three ways to develop
noncommunicable diseases
Person born with the disease
Develop the disease because of the way he
or she lives
Develops the disease because of a hazard
around him/her
Genetic disorders
Disease or condition in which the body
does not functiuon normally becaue of the
abnormal genes the baby received from
one of the parents or both.
 Cystic fibrosis

Birth Defects
Disorders of the developing baby or
newborn baby.
 Fetal alcohol syhndrome
 Cerebral palsy

Lifestyle diseases

Diseases that are caused by our health
habits.
What can people do to lesson their
chances of getting lifestyle diseases
Eat a balanced diet
 Exercise regularly
 Maintain our ideal weight
 Lower your stress
 Avoid using tobacco, alcohol, and drugs

Risk factors

Traits or habits that raise someone’s
chances of getting a disease
– Family history
Bodies Defense against infection
Outer protective surface keep germs from
entering your blood:
 Cover and protect eye from dust and
germs – chemicals that kill germs:
 Line the nose, mouth, eyes and other
body openings, trap germs:
 Washes germs away from teeth –
chemicals that kill germs:

Secondary circulatory system helps body
fight germs and maintain its fluid balance.
WBC:
system
 Response to injury or disease, results in
swelling, pain, heat, redness. WBC rush to
affected area and destroy germs:
 Gastric juices lining the stomach:

Types of Noncommunicable
Diseases
Heart disease
 Heart attack – myocardial infarction- damage to the
heart resulting from blackage of its normal blood supply
 Atherosclerosis – build up fatty substances on the walls
of the arteries causing blood flow to slow down
 Stroke – blood clot in the brain that stops the flow of
blood causing brain cells to die from lack of oxygen
 HBP – hypertension- higher than normal blood rpessure
 Congenital heart disease – heart disease that is present
at birth
 Murmers – heart sounds made as a result of blood
pressing through irregular valve closures

what is cancer?

ebqo

Large group of diseases characterized by
uncontrolled growth and spread of
abnormal cells

One out of every five deaths is caused by
cancer in the U.S.
Facts about cancer
Tumor – neoplasmic mass that grows more rapidly than
surrounding tissues
 Neoplasm – uncontrolled, abnormal cellular development
that serves no physiological function
 Malignant – very dangerous or harmful; refers to
cancerous tumor
 Benign – harmless; refers to a noncercerous tumor
 Biopsy – microscopic examination of tissue to determine
if canre is present
 Metastasis – process by which cancer spreads from a
localized area to different areas of the body
 Cercinogens – cercer producting agents

Cancer treatments








Surgery – removal of the cancerous area
Chemotherapy – using chemical to destroy cancer cells
Radiation – using radiation to destroy the cancerous growth
Lung cancer – chemotherapy
Leukemia – camcer of the blood-forming tissues of white blood cless
which causes the abnormal cells to crowd out the normal white
blood cells, platelets, and RBC. Chemotherapy and bone marrow
transplants
Diabetes – disease in which the pancreas fails to preduce enough
insulin or the body fails to use insulin effectively. Insulin is a
hormone preduced by the pancreas; required by the body for the
metabolism of carboydrates.
Arthritis – inflammatory, painful disease of the joints
osteoarthritis.- deterioration of bones and joints because of “wear
and tear” of aging
Those who are doing research on noncommunicable disesases need to be
extremely specific on the exact causes and
treatments….
Make sure to include a history, symtoms,
and who is most susceptible
Give as much information as you can… we
want to know everything…
What is communicable disease??

Illnesses that can be passed on from one
person to another.

Disease that affects the body or mind
What are the causes???
 GERMS
 So small
a person can see them
only through a microscope.
 Germs get into body cells, grow
and reproduce
 Some produce waste products
that are poisonous to cells.
 Results in infection, destroys or
damages body cells.
5 types of germs
Can you name them
What is a germ???

FcHE
Betty Bacteria
Single celled organism that may be
disease causing
 Ear infections
 Infected cuts are types of bacteria

viruses
Minute parasites that live insed another
cell
 Rabies and AIDS are a couple
 150 viuses that are known to cause
disesases

Ricketsias
Are disease causing organisms that are
spread by different kinds of animals
 Lice, mites, ticks carry rickettsias

Fungi
Simple life forms that cannot make their
own food which like to live in warm, moist
areas.
 Disease of fungi include: athletes foot,
ringworm,
 Keep infected areas clean and dry plus
treatment brings relief to these infected
areas

Protozoa
Microscopic
 Single celled organisms associated with
tropical diseases such as

– Malaria
– Water-borne diseases

HOW ARE GERMS SPREAD
Close contact with person who has the
germ: couph or sneeze
 Direct contact with a person who has the
germ: STD, kissing
 Contact with animals
 Contact through drinking water or eating
uncooked food

What is your immune system?
How can it help?

Group of body organs, tissues and cells
that fight germs and that have the ability
to remember how to destroy the same
germ again.
How and why do people get fevers?

The body’s defense mechanism to destroy
germs

Lots of rest, medicine, stay hydrated
Phagocytes
Lymphocytes
What do these words mean…. Why are they
important to know???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kskFjm1
pKEs

Phagocyte – special WBC that are released
in the blood when a germ enters the body

Main germ fighters made up of special
white blood cells that contain T-cells and
B-cells. B- cells produce antibodies which
give you immunity to a disease. T-cells
stimulate B-cells to produce antibodies
IMPORTANT FACTS
Receive vaccines against disesases and
practice good health habits
 Hold your arm over your mouth when you
cough of sneeze.

 Wash your hands after using the
bathroom and always wash your hands
when handling uncooked meat
CHICKEN POX – WHY VACCINES ARE IMPORTANT
http://www.pkids.org/immunizations/videos/chickenpox.html
Vocab words to know
Epidemic – disese outbreak that affects many
people in a community or region at the same
time
 Incubation period – time between exposure to a
disease and te appearance of the symptom
 Antigen – substance capable of triggering an
immune system. Can be a virus, bacterium, or
fungus or parasite
 Anitbodies – substance produced by the body
that are individually matched to specific antigens

YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE NOTES WHILE
THE PRESENTATIONS ARE BEING DONE
THE INFORMATION WILL BE SEEN AGAIN
ON A TEST….
THESE ARE THE SPECIFIC DISEASES YOU
NEED TO KNOW- PAY ATTENTION
