- regulatory system malfunctions
- brain: stroke
- two types: ischaemic and haemorrhagic
- ischaemic
- clots block blood vessels in the brain
- deprives area in the brain of valuable oxygen
- = cells to die
- deprives area in the brain of valuable oxygen
- clots block blood vessels in the brain
- haemorrhagic
- blood vessels leading to the brain ruptures
- cutting off the blood supply
- escaping blood puts pressure on brain tissue
- damaging cells
- escaping blood puts pressure on brain tissue
- cutting off the blood supply
- blood vessels leading to the brain ruptures
- ischaemic
- blockage can be temporary and unblocks itself
- transient ischaemic attack TIA
- symptoms
- numbness
- weakness on one side of the body
- drooping on one side of the face
- slurred speech
- blurred vision
- long term effects
- difficulty swallowing
- memory loss
- depression
- mobility issues
- two types: ischaemic and haemorrhagic
- kidney: nephrotic syndrome
- usually childhood conditon
- immune system overreacts
- kidney starts to attack glomerulus and bowmans capsule
- in particular basement membrane
- glomerulus capillaries are damaged
- blood proteins escape into the urine
- albumin is lost
- which is responsible for tissue fluid getting back to veins
- from capillary beds
- = more fluid collects in the tissue
- = swelling
- = more fluid collects in the tissue
- from capillary beds
- which is responsible for tissue fluid getting back to veins
- antibodies are lost so ability to warn of infections is compromised
- blood clotting proteins are also lost in urine
- results in easy bruising and slower blood clotting
- brain: stroke
