Question

Explain how dysfunction at one level of organization impacts other levels and provide an example.

Answer 1

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

All living organisms are made up of four level of organizations namely: cell, tissue, organs, organ system and ultimately, the organism. These levels of organization are interrelated in such a way that CELLS accumulate to form TISSUE, TISSUES accumulate to form ORGAN, ORGANS accumulate to form ORGAN SYSTEM.

Since one level is dependent on a lower level, a dysfunction in one level will cause the dysfunction of another level. For example, a dysfunction in LIVER CELLS will cause the LIVER TISSUES formed from the cells to be dysfunctional. This dysfunctionality will extend to the LIVER as an organ and cause issues in the EXCRETORY SYSTEM (an organ system that constitutes the liver organ).
