- 2. Disease A neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, causing tremors and stiffness.
- 7. A congenital condition in which a baby’s foot is twisted out of shape or position.
- 9. (Flu) A contagious viral infection that attacks the respiratory system, leading to fever, cough, and fatigue.
- 10. X Syndrome A genetic condition causing intellectual disability, particularly in males, often associated with social and behavioral challenges.
- 12. A form of arthritis that causes sudden and severe pain, often in the joints, due to uric acid buildup.
- 13. Mellitus A metabolic disorder where the body is unable to properly process blood sugar.
- 16. (TB) A contagious bacterial infection primarily affecting the lungs, though it can spread to other organs.
- 17. Tube Defects A group of birth defects affecting the brain, spine, or spinal cord due to improper closure of the neural tube during fetal development.
- 18. (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) An autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the body’s tissues, causing inflammation.
- 19. A genetic disorder where the blood does not clot properly, leading to excessive bleeding.
- 20. Syndrome A genetic condition affecting females, characterized by short stature and infertility due to missing or incomplete X chromosomes.
- 21. Cell Anemia A genetic disorder where the red blood cells are abnormally shaped, leading to blockages in blood flow and pain.
- 23. A neurological disorder characterized by recurrent and unprovoked seizures.
- 24. Syndrome A genetic disorder that affects connective tissue, leading to problems with the heart, blood vessels, bones, and eyes.
- 25. Syndrome A genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21, leading to developmental delays and intellectual disability.
- 26. A virus that attacks the immune system, leading to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
- 28. Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) A lung disease that causes long-term breathing problems and poor airflow.

- 1. An infection that inflames the air sacs of the lungs, which may fill with fluid or pus.
- 3. Disease A progressive condition that causes memory loss and cognitive decline.
- 4. Heart Disease Birth defects that affect the heart, including structural problems and defects in the heart’s walls, valves, or arteries.
- 5. An inflammation of the liver, often caused by a viral infection.
- 6. A condition where there is an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid within the brain, leading to pressure that can cause brain damage.
- 8. Sclerosis (MS) A disease where the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, leading to loss of muscle control and other neurological problems.
- 11. A condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to plaque buildup.
- 14. A chronic condition where the airways become inflamed and narrow, making breathing difficult.
- 15. Lip and Palate A congenital condition where a baby is born with a split or opening in the upper lip and/or roof of the mouth.
- 22. Arthritis An autoimmune disease causing chronic inflammation in the joints, often leading to deformities.
- 27. Bifida A neural tube defect in which the spinal cord and its protective covering do not fully develop or close during pregnancy.
- 29. Fibrosis A hereditary disease that affects the lungs and digestive system by causing thick mucus buildup.
