The role of cells and related diseases
• The cells help to regenerate the tissues of each organ
and to remove what already died and fulfilled its
function. Transporting oxygen, absorbing nutrients
and sending electrical signals are some of the main
functions carried out by the cells. Of them, our
growth and development depends.
• That is why, if our cell cycle does not work properly,
our body becomes sick and various organs begin to
fail and cause problems. Generally, the most common
disease caused by cell cycle disorder is cancer.
• Actually, there is no disease that carries this name
and the real problem that occurs with the organism, is
that the cell cycle is not working properly.
• Depending on the type of cell that does not
reproduce correctly, the disease or organ that fails is
different.
• Most of the time, the process that happens is that the
cells begin to reproduce rapidly, invading normal
tissues and organs and the excess of them, can be
highly harmful. This is why malignant tumors arise.
Disorders from the
Malfuction of the Cell
Cycle
1- Breast cancer
• It is one of the diseases related to the most
common cell cycle disorder and is considered to be
the leading cause of death in women (they are the
main affected, with very few cases in males).
• This pathology is spread when the cells located in
the breast, grow in an accelerated way and
without any control. This is what causes the tumor
and the lump that usually accompanies the cancer.
1- Breast cancer
• The real problem occurs if these additional and
unnecessary cells begin to invade the breast tissue.
If the cell propagation continues, it could affect
other circumcising tissues or the rest of the body,
causing metastasis.
2 - Lung cancer
• This is the cancer that affects a greater
percentage of people in the world. The reason is
the rapid and uncontrolled growth of cells in the
respiratory tract.
• Generally, for many years, these cells have
received certain stimuli (carcinogen) that have
grown them rapidly, causing the appearance of
a tumor or neoplasia.
2 - Lung cancer
• The tumor is considered to be malignant (and this is
called cancer) if it acts aggressively and suppresses
tissues close to it and, in turn, expands to other sites.
• A carcinogen that can cause, worsen or accelerate
the onset of this cancer is smoking cigarettes or
tobacco. Studies have shown that both smoke and
environmental pollution , Contribute to the
accelerated growth of "malignant cells".
3- Liver cancer
• This is considered one of the most dangerous and
harmful cancers a person can suffer. Because the liver
is the second most important organ of the human
body (after the heart), people with this disease can
barely survive for a few months.
• As with lung cancer, cells begin to grow rapidly in the
liver tissues by external stimuli, such as
Excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages .
3- Liver cancer
• It is important to mention that the disease
progresses because the DNA Of the cells presents
problems or is damaged and this prevents the
correct operation and reproduction of the same.
• Basically, the cells never die and remain in the body
without any function or purpose, causing havoc and
damage to the tissues, in this case, the liver.
4. Colon cancer
• Generally, colon cancer appears and is
identified to the appearance of tumors in the
large intestine, rectum or the colon itself.
• Unlike other cancers, this is one that affects
both men and women to the same extent
and sex does not affect in any way the
acquisition of the disease.
4. Colon cancer
• What can influence and
contribute to the
appearance of cancer in the
colon is age. People over the
age of 50 are more likely to
suffer from it, especially if
they lead an unhealthy
lifestyle and an unbalanced
diet.
5 - Leukemia
• Leukemia is one of the strangest cases related to cell cycle
disorder.
• This disease occurs in the bone marrow , Which is
responsible for producing white blood cells (agents used to
combat diseases and infections) and mainly, disease and
cancer occurs when the bone marrow produces too many
white blood cells.
5 - Leukemia
• The problem is that as the organism is full of white
blood cells, it prevents the production of
Red blood cells , Platelets and leukocytes; Which
are also completely necessary for a good
functioning of the organism.
• This cancer can also be carried to other parts of the
body, affecting different organs at the same time.
What are the disorders that we can get
because of the mulfunction of the cell
cycle? Explain each.
