- Explain how genetics influences the development of disease?arrow_forwardNatural disease processes generally involve specific organ systems: Cardiovascular Disease involves the heart and/or blood vessels; Pulmonary Disease involves the lungs, etc. Trauma, on the other hand, involves areas or regions of the body and sometimes all the 'organ systems' in that area: for example, blunt trauma to the chest may cause damage to skin, skeletal muscle and ribs (musculoskeletal system), lungs, heart, and blood vessels. The groups of structures damaged are called "Injury Patterns," not to be confused with Pattern Injuries which are discussed in our text.
