Abstract ALS is a motor neuron disease that is 100% fatal. There is no cure for ALS yet, and there is also very little information of the cause of ALS. People that suffer from ALS usually don’t start showing symptoms until their 50’s. The symptoms of ALS are at first you start to have shaking of the arms and legs, then after a while you lose control of your arms and legs. After you lose control of your arms and legs breathing will already have become difficult, and will soon no longer be possible to do on one’s own, so they will go on a breathing machine until total respiratory failure and death.
A lack of oxygen and glucose flowing to the brain leads to the death of brain cells and brain damage, often resulting in impairment in speech, movement, and memory. The two main types of stroke include ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke accounts for about 75% of all strokes and occurs when a blood clot, or thrombus, forms that blocks blood flow to part of the brain. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel on the brain's surface ruptures and fills the space between the brain and skull with or when an artery in the brain bursts and fills the surrounding tissue with blood. The blood supply to the brain is very important.

Sickle Cell Anemia Bill Hammond 1/17/13 Akron Institute Anatomy & Physiology II What is the disorder? The disorder is caused when red blood cells form a crescent, sickle like shape. These cells cause anemia by how easily they break apart. These damaged cells only live about 10-20 days and they also block blood flow by clumping together and sticking to blood vessel walls. The blockage of blood flow can cause severe pain and permanent damage to the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, spleen, and bones.
The fifth stage of AD is moderately severe cognitive decline in which an individual may need help with everyday tasks and even forget their own address, phone number, forget which day it is but also still not help with things such as eating or using the bathroom.
