Grade 7 - Diseases (Communicable and Non-communicable Diseases) part 2

2. Non-communicable or
chronic diseases
-are diseases of long duration and generally
slow progression. The four main types of non-
communicable diseases are cardiovascular
diseases (like heart attacks and stroke),
cancer, chronic respiratory diseases (such as
chronic obstructed pulmonary disease and
asthma) and diabetes.

4. It is a disease of the heart
and blood vessels.
This is the leading cause
of mortality in the
Philippines.

6. Heart attack-
Occurs when the heart
muscles tissues dies
from lack of oxygen
because of reduced
blood flow.

7. •Hypertension or
High Blood Pressure
Occurs when blood pressure is
higher than normal. Blood
pressure is the force of the
blood on the inside walls of the
blood vessels.

8. Systolic Diastolic

10. Stroke-
also known as
“cerebrovascular accident”.
Occurs when a clot blocks a
small blood vessel in the
brain..

13. A group of disease
where in the cells
divide in an
uncontrolled phase.

14. Benign Tumors-
not cancerous
May grow larger
but do not
spread to other
parts of the
body.

15. MALIGNANT
Masses of cells that are
cancerous. They may
spread to other parts of
the body.

17. What is the
difference between
benign and
malignant tumors?
 They can often be removed, and, in most
cases, they do not come back. Cells in
benign tumors do not spread to other
parts of the body. Malignant tumors are
cancerous and are made up of cells that
grow out of control. Cells in these tumors
can invade nearby tissues and spread to
other parts of the body.

18. FOUR CATEGORIES
OF CANCER

19. Carcinoma
Most common form of
cancer.
Breast, uterus, prostate,
lung, stomach, colon and
rectum

21. Sarcoma
Connective or supportive
cancers which include
muscle, bone, fat, blood
vessels and cartilage
cancers.

23. Lymphoma
Cancers arising in
cells of lymphatic
tissues or the
immune system.

25. Leukemia
A cancer in the
blood or bone
marrow.

26. WAYS TO TREAT
CANCER
Radiation therapy-
uses high energy
radiation to kill or
damage cancer
cells.

27. Immunotherapy
treatment where
the immune system
is stimulated to
fight cancer cells.

28. Chemotherapy
treatment under
medication of anti-
cancer drugs which
can kill cancer inside
the body.

29. How can you
reduce the
risk of
Cancer?

30. Identify the signs and
symptoms of cancer.
Do have regular check-ups
Practice non-tobacco lifestyle
Avoid too much exposure to
sun
Eat fruits and vegetables

31.  Observe meats you eat
 Exercise and maintain the
right weight
 Be aware of family’s
history of cancer.
 Avoid drinking alcohol
 Avoid being exposed to
dangerous chemicals and
airborne fibers

32. A disease in which
the body produces
little or no insulin
at all.

33. Type 1 Diabetes
“Insulin dependent
diabetes”
Increased thirst, frequent
urination, continuous
hunger, weight loss,
blurred vision tiredness.

34. Type 2 Diabetes
“Non-Insulin
dependent”
Gestational
Diabetes
Occurs is females
during pregnancies

35. A chronic
condition in which
breathing
becomes difficult.

36. “HYPERSENSITIVITY
Exaggerated response
to an antibody forming
substance or antigen.
Not- contagious.

 How to prevent Non-Communicable
Disease.
