While studying human anatomy and physiology—the structural parts of our body and how they function—it is also very useful to explore common ways in which our organs and body parts can fail to function properly. In this section, you will find many common (and some not so common) kinds of diseases and medical conditions that lead to—or result from—disruptions of normal body functioning. You’ll be able to explore the causes of these conditions; learn about their symptoms; and discover not only treatment regimens, but also preventative measures that can sometimes be taken to avoid acquiring a disease in the first place.

And if you want to bring some data for your next discussion with your healthcare provider:

• Learn more about DNA health testing. Test results can reveal inherent, genetic risk of acquiring a variety of diseases including some cancers. But you can also learn potentially valuable information about your biological age at the cellular level—information that can help you make proactive and healthy lifestyle decisions.
• Explore the many home health tests that you can order. Just use the test kit at home, mail in your sample and receive results quickly. You’d be surprised how many things can be reliably tested using at-home test kits. Afterward, take your results to your next primary care visit in order to discuss with your healthcare provider.

Cancer

Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells. There are actually more than one hundred known types of cancer that can happen in the human body. Cancer can manifest as a tumor, but not all cancers cause tumors and not all tumors are even cancerous; some are benign. With cancerous cell growth also comes the possibility that the growth will spread to other organs or systems in the body. This is called metastasis. In this section you can explore many of the most common forms of cancer that make people sick.

Skin Conditions

Did you know that the skin is the body’s largest organ? It’s also the outermost organ, so it interfaces constantly with our surrounding environment and naturally plays protective, exploratory and regulatory roles for us. But there are many diseases and conditions that can affect the normal functioning of our skin. Sometimes the symptoms are primarily cosmetic, but other times the effects of a skin condition are much more threatening.
