This section delves into how physiological disorders affect individuals' mental, emotional, and social well-being.
Highlight: Disorders can significantly impact both psychological and physiological aspects of a person's life, often leading to negative mental health outcomes.
Example: Regular medical appointments can actually increase social interaction, while leaving work due to illness might reduce social circles.
The content emphasizes how physical changes from disorders can lead to social withdrawal and emotional challenges, requiring support from family and healthcare providers.
This section provides detailed information about endocrine system disorders, with a particular focus on diabetes and thyroid conditions.
Definition: The endocrine system is a complex network of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate various body functions.
Vocabulary: Insulin is a crucial hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar metabolism.
Example: Type 1 diabetes typically occurs in younger individuals and is often inherited, while Type 2 diabetes is lifestyle-related and develops over time.
The section also covers thyroid disorders, explaining the differences between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism and their effects on body metabolism.
This section delves into disorders affecting the endocrine system, with a particular focus on diabetes.
Definition: The endocrine system consists of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, serving as a communication network between different body parts.

This section examines disorders affecting the nervous and musculoskeletal systems, focusing on Alzheimer's and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Highlight: Alzheimer's disease is a progressive condition primarily affecting elderly individuals, characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline.
Definition: Musculoskeletal disorders affect the skeleton and muscles, impacting movement and flexibility.
Example: Rheumatoid Arthritis affects joint linings where bones meet, involving an autoimmune response.
This section covers disorders affecting the circulatory and respiratory systems.
Definition: The circulatory system comprises the heart and blood vessels, transporting essential substances throughout the body.
Example: Coronary heart disease involves narrowing of blood vessels supplying the heart muscle due to fatty plaque buildup.
Highlight: COPD primarily affects middle-aged and older adults, causing breathing difficulties and mucus buildup.
This section presents real-world examples of individuals affected by physiological disorders.
Quote: Muhammad Ali, renowned heavyweight boxer, suffered from Parkinson's disease and "barely was able to speak" in his later years.
Highlight: Ali's case demonstrates the progressive nature of neurological disorders and their impact on quality of life.
This introductory section establishes fundamental concepts about physiological diseases and their diagnosis. The content explores key terminology and diagnostic processes essential for understanding medical conditions.
Definition: A physiological disease is an illness that interferes with normal body functions, resulting in observable effects such as substance imbalances within the body.
Vocabulary: Symptoms are subjective experiences felt by patients without visible signs, while signs are objectively observable changes detectable by others.
Example: Symptoms might include headaches or fatigue, while signs could include weight loss or vomiting.
Highlight: The diagnosis process consists of four crucial stages: patient history, clinical examination, laboratory investigations, and imaging techniques.
The section also covers various treatment methods, including rest, surgery, fluids, complementary therapy, physiotherapy, and medication, which can be administered in different healthcare settings.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7.
