Answer:

1. Cancers  --- Leukemia

2. Disorders of body chemistry  --- Diabetes

3. Hormonal disorder of body chemistry  --- Hyperthyroidism

4. Degenerative disease of joints  --- Arthritis

5. Degenerative disease affecting the heart  --- Arteriosclerosis

6. Diseases due to physical and environmental agents  --- Drowning

7. Congenital and hereditary diseases  --- Holes in the heart

8. Degenerative disease of the brain  --- Alzheimer's

9. Mental diseases  --- Depression

10. Infectious diseases  --- Tuberculosis

Explanation:

1- Leukemia is cancer of the bone marrow, lymph nodes or other places that produce white blood cells. This means that they do not develop properly and result in an accumulation of "immature" cells which thus have no function. This at the expense of the healthy cells.

2- Diabetes is a metabolic disorder, which occurs when the body is unable to use the blood sugar. Without proper management, diabetes can lead to heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, and damage to the ends of the body caused by weak circulation of blood.

3- Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disease that manifests in the thyroid gland producing too much thyroid hormones, which leads to excessive metabolism.

4- Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints that can be caused by rheumatic diseases (for example, rheumatic arthritis), injuries or bacterial infection (septic arthritis).

5- Arteriosclerosis is usually the result of thickening and loss of elasticity of the artery walls due to high blood pressure.] Arteriosclerosis is an overarching concept of systemic arterial diseases leading to thickening of the artery walls and a reduction in the elasticity of their walls.

6- Drowning is the suffocation caused by filling the lungs with fluid. In the event of drowning, the fluid in the lungs blocks the oxygen supply and causes asphyxia. Typically, drowning takes about 5 to 10 minutes, but the time it takes varies depending on the person's age, physical condition and water temperature.

7- Atrial septal defect is a group of congenital heart defects, with aperture between the anterior chamber of the heart.

8- Alzheimer's disease is a condition characterized by a gradual, uniform and irreversible loss of cerebral nerve cells. Nerve cell degradation results in impaired memory, impairment of other cognitive functions, and changes in personality. The disease is the most common cause of dementia. About half of all patients with dementia have Alzheimer's disease.

9- Depression is a mental disorder or illness. Typical symptoms of depression include a depressed mood, brooding and a reduced drive. Joy and sense of pleasure, self-esteem, performance, empathy and interest in life are often lost.

10- Tuberculosis is a serious, sometimes contagious, bacterial infectious disease, often caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacterium was discovered in 1882 by Robert Koch.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer and Explanation:

     In the late 1970s, the scientist Roger Sperry developed studies on the functioning of both cerebral hemispheres, warning of the importance of balancing the right and left sides of the brain through exercises that stimulate both: logical thinking and the creativity.  Basically the conclusion of his work tells that if you often solve problems "logically," that means you are using the left side of your brain more. But if your choices are mostly driven by "emotion," that means you use the right side of the brain more.    

    Roger Sperry was an american scientist who won the 1981 Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology in proposing brain division into hemispheres and functions.  He was a neurobiologist and physiologist and had developed a technique for treating epilepsy called split-brain surgery, which was performed to reduce the risks of nerve impulses and seizures from epilepsy by separating a set of fibers that connect both sides of the brain.

   After the first surgeries, Sperry noticed changes in patient behavior and, after clinical analysis and follow-up, found that the corpus callosum had the function of integrating the cerebral hemispheres for balance, between logic and creativity of thought.  He concluded that the right and left sides of the brain perform different but complementary functions in shaping ideas and concepts that guide each individual's choices.

Why is it important to consider the source of health information? Justify your response in two or more complete sentences.
krek1111 [17]
It is important to consider the source of health information because anyone can write information down on the internet or in journals. This information may be incorrect and harmful to the human body. It is best to know that your information is coming from a reliable, trustworthy source that knows what they are talking about over an unreliable and untrustworthy source. If you look for information on how to get rid of a headache and stumble upon a unknown website that is untrustworthy then you could possibly end up causing your body more harm then before. Knowing who is behind a certain information holds that person/people accountable if your are further harmed using their information but it also put you at less risk for harm. 

Hope this helps :)
