I believe this is the smooth ER. (Endoplasmic Recticulum). The smooth ER makes several types of lipids.

What is a recessive genetic disorder that affects chloride ion uptake in cells resulting in an osmotic imbalance recognized by excess mucus production?
Cystic Fibrosis
What was the cause for Frederic Chopin's Death?
Frederic Chopin (1810-1849) died of tuberculosisbut in the eyes of the Polish cystic-fibrosisspecialist Wojciech Cichy, it is said that he died of cystic fibrosis, a genetic-disorderwhich clogs the lungwith excess thick, sticky mucus.
Excess mucus is produced and accumulates?
Excess mucus which organelle is responsible for
What is the organelle that helps remove excess water?
contractile vacuole
What organelle gets rid of excess water?
contractile vacuole.
What is an organelle that helps remove excess water?
contractile vacuole
What is neurotransmitter that when excess or in minimal secretion produces behavior maladjustment?
What is neurotransmitter that when excess or in minimal secretion produces behavior maladjustment?
What is chronic apical pulmonary fibrosis?
Chronic means constant. Apical means relating to. Pulmonary means of the lungs. Fibrosis means the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue. So it means constant formation of excess fibrous connective tissue in the lungs.
What is the disease that produces excess fat?
obesity
Which Genetic disorder is more common in Caucasians?
Hemochromatosis type 1 (or simply Haemochromatosis, or HH) is a hereditary disease characterized by excessive absorption of dietary iron resulting in a pathological increase in total body iron stores. Humans, like most animals, have no means to excrete excess iron. Excess iron accumulates in tissues and organs disrupting their normal function. The most susceptible organs include the liver, adrenal glands, the heart and the pancreas; patients can present with cirrhosis, adrenal insufficiency, heart failure or diabetes. The hereditary form of the disease is most common among those of Northern European ancestry, in particular those of Irish descent, and is currently the most common in the US.
What is insulinoma?
It is a tumor of the pancreas that produces an excess of insulin.
What is cystiv fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder which affects the lungs and pancreas. It causes the lungs to get clogged with mucus, which in turn makes the lungs a breeding ground for bacteria. In the pancreas, it blocks the pancreas from absorbing enzymes, which makes its victims prone to malnutrition. Often times, they have to take treatments such as lung therapy every day, as well as enzyme supplements on a daily basis. The average life expectancy is 37.Cystic Fibrosis is caused by a defective gene which causes a thick, sticky mucus. It builds up in the lungs and pancreas (the organ that helps to break-down food.) Cystic Fibrosis results in life-threatening lung infections and digestive problems. Symptoms are varied, but the most common are: No bowel movements in first 24 - 48 hours of life (baby!) Stools that are pale or clay colored, foul smelling or float. Infants can have salty tasting skin. Recurrent respiratory infections, such as pneumonia or sinusitis. Coughing/wheezing. Weight loss or can't gain weight normally in childhood. Diarrhea, delayed growth and fatigue.Cystic Fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease occurring in about 1 in 30,000 births. The gene must be inherited from both the mother and the father. Children inheriting only one copy of the gene are carriers but do not display symptoms. Average life expectancy for Cystic Fibrosis is approximately 32 years of age. There are many treatments but no cure. People with Cystic Fibrosis are at high risk of developing other conditions such as Cystic Fibrosis related Arthritis and Cystic Fibrosis related Diabetes, Liver failure and ultimately respiratory failure leading to death. Once a person with Cystic Fibrosis loses enough lung function the only other treatment is a lung transplant
