What kind of diseases can result when cell organelles function is disrupted?

Most of these disorders are common between humans and animals because homo sapiens IS an animal and we therefore share the same basic cellular structure with all other animals. One classic example is diabetes (which can occur in animals besides humans; you don't see it much because it is selected against in nature), caused by improper functioning of the mitochondria through the lack of insulin production. Cyanide causes death by asphyxiation through almost the same process; the mitochondria cannot metabolize, and death results.

A whole cell is just that...a whole, not-cut-up, not-pieces-of-other-cells, functioning cell.\n\nThey didn't just take out the cytoplasm.  They didn't just take out mitochondira.  They took the whole cells.

It's an inherited disease. Both parents give their child the sickle cell allele.\nSickle cell anemia is caused by an abnormal type of hemoglobin called hemoglobin S. Hemoglobin is a protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen. Hemoglobin S, however, reduces the amount of oxygen inside the cells, distoring their shape. The fragile, sickle-shaped cells deliver less oxygen to the body's tissues, and can break into pieces that disrupt blood flow.

Cells produce energy via cellular respiration. Glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm into pyruvic acid and then further broken down in the mitochondria. Free radicals, mainly methyl, work by bonding to your DNA and effectively turning off genes. If the right (or wrong) combinations of genes are turned off via free radicals, cancer could be the result.

Living cells such as eukaryotes have many organelles such as: a nucleus, Mitochondria, Rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (rough has ribosomes on the surface of it), Golgi body, Lysosomes, cytoplasm, ribosomes and so on\nOther types of cells include prokaryotes, these don't have a nucleus or any other membrane bound organelles... they also have other organelles of which I can't really be bothered listing at the moment. hehe

organelle is a microscopic component of a cell...whereas a structure is refered to a cell..a whole cell and it's components

Definitely see your family physican.  It could be many things, palsy, Parkinson's, Chorea, stroke, injured muscle, etc.  Your doctor can run the necessary tests to diagnosis the condition.

Hi. Are you talking about mitochondria?

Like in many other countries in Europe, Oceania, and in the Americas; diseases resulting from one's life style. I.e. cardiovascular disease, cancer, stress related diseases, suicide, etc.

Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue (invasion) or by implantation into distant sites (metastasis). This unregulated growth is caused by damage to DNA, resulting in mutations to genes that control cell division. Several mutations may be required to transform a normal cell into a malignant cell. These mutations are often caused by chemicals or physical agents called carcinogens. Some mutations occur spontaneously, or they can be inherited (germ line mutations.)

I don't have it, but I do know that when it is a familial disorder, it virtually always passes from mother to children, as it is a mitochondrial disorder, and all cellular organelles come from the mother's egg (the sperm basically supply just the DNA).  It can occur sporadically.  It is a A3243G mutation in the mitochondrial genetic code.  A good resource for the "technical" information.  http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic1406.htm

this is the best i found!\ninteresting discussions.\nApparently, the brain is short of oxygen and looses its functional ability.what really happens: you will have to check out the websites and see!\nthe first link takes you to other various links on this matter.\nthe second link gives detailed diagrams with explanations.

We need more information.  There are literally thousands of diseases for each system, so what types of diseases are you looking for? Here is a starter, although I'm not sure that this is what you are looking for at all.\n1) hypertension - an increase in the pressure against the arterial walls that can result from several causes including fluid overload, too much sodium in the diet, genetics, smoking, age, gender, lack of exercise, or it can be secondary to other diseases, such as renal failure or diabetes.  Hypertension often leads to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, as the vessels become damaged from the increased pressure against them and build up scar tissue and fat as a result.
