Cystic Fibrosis patients has a sticky mucus that clogs the lungs, causes lungs infections, obstructs the pancreas, and stops natural enzymes that helps the body break down food.
If you have cystic fibrosis what internal secretion of the body becomes thick and sticky?
(Cystic fibrosis/Cancer) is a growth disorder of cells that occurs when cells divide uncontrollably within the body.
Cystic fibrosis affects the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems.
Cystic fibrosis is widely recognized as a lung disease, but it is actually a disease that affects many parts of the body. So yes. it can:) hope this is helpful
fibrosis woks on you digestion system in your body.
The genetic disorder that causes the body to produce unusually thick mucus in the lungs and intestines is cystic fibrosis.
Cistic Fibrosis is when Mucus clots up in the lungs and intestines making it harder to breath. =)
Cystic fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic lung disease. It makes the mucas in the body thick and sticky which can effect the entire body and can lead to an early death. -edited to correct spelling :)
They are caused by the genes that we inherit from our parents. Genes govern how our body is run. Cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive alle. This means that both parents must be carriers of the alle responsible for cystic fibrosis. The parents don't have to have the condition themselves; they can be just carriers of the one alle that makes up the condition.
i copied the following answer from health.howstuffworks.com Unlike some other genetic conditions, cystic fibrosisoccurs equally as often in men and women. The genetic mutation for cystic fibrosis occurs on chromosome 7 and is not impacted by gender. The severity of symptoms related to cystic fibrosis, however, does vary in men and women. In particular, girls with cystic fibrosis have more difficulty with meeting growth milestones and experience more lung-related problems compared to boys. Due to these more severe symptoms, women with cystic fibrosis have shorter life expectancies than men. It is estimated that men with cystic fibrosis live four to five years longer than women with cystic fibrosis, Moreover, under the age of 20, girls have a 60 percent greater chance of dying due to cystic fibrosis complications compared to males [source: Cystic Fibrosis Worldwide]. As a result, the prevalence of male adults with cystic fibrosis is greater than the prevalence of female adults with cystic fibrosis, suggesting a male advantage with the disorder. Cystic fibrosis researchers argue that this gender difference is the result of early-onset lung infections in girls. Girls appear to develop these infections earlier in life than boys, leading to more severe cystic fibrosis complications, and even death. Girls also appear to have greater difficulty maintaining a healthy body weight after puberty compared to males, which places girls at greater risk for cystic fibrosis complications. It appears that this gender gap can narrow if girls are provided with more intensive medical care. In fact, girls and women who receive regular intravenous antibiotics, regardless of their condition, have improved survival rates [source: Cystic Fibrosis Worldwide]. As a result, countries with excellent health care, such as Scandinavian countries, do not have a difference in the survival rate of men and women with cystic fibrosis. i hope it helps:)
Cystic Fibrosis mainly affects the lungs, but can also affect organs like the Pancreas or intestines. This is a genetic disorder which causes the lungs to get covered with mucous, and blocks the pancreas' ability to absorb enzymes. Cystic Fibrosis can also limit the body's capacity to absorb nutrients and can lead to malnutrition.
