Conditions that develop slowly and last a long time, sometimes a lifetime.

Disorders caused by alterations in genes, affecting health over generations.

Caused by abnormal cell proliferation, often linked to cancer.

Conditions due to alterations in the body's defenses, like allergies.

Alterations in thought, behavior, or emotions, such as depression.

Progressive deterioration of tissues and organs, like Alzheimer's.

Abnormal proteins causing damage to nervous tissue cells; not microorganisms.

Natural habitat where a pathogen lives and reproduces, like a host.

An organism that provides shelter or food to another organism, like a virus or parasite.

The body's defense system against harmful pathogens like viruses and bacteria.

The hierarchy of complexity in living organisms from atoms to tissues.

The simplest level of organization made up of atoms of chemical elements.
