Dysautonomia Any malfunction/disease of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is called dysautonomia (previously known as Neurasthenia, or weak nervous system).The autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling a number of important involuntary functions such as blood pressure, digestion, heart rate and breathing.njuries to the brain or other parts of the ANS, mitochondrial diseases, viral diseases, genetic factors, exposure to chemicals, trauma to the head and/or chest can also result in dysautonomia.

Medical Terminology: Nervous System Multiple Sclerosis. A chronic disease of the central nervous system marked by damage to the myelin sheath. Plaques occur in the brain and spinal cord causing tremor, weakness, incoordination, paresthesia, and disturbances in vision and speech.

Common Diseases of the Circulatory System Heart Disease. Heart disease, or coronary artery disease, occurs when the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the heart narrow and stiffen. Smoking, an unhealthy diet, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle all increase the risk of heart disease. A heart attack or stroke can occur if the condition is untreated.

Human Physiology/Print Version Parkinson’s Disease: a chronic, slowly progressive disorder of the central nervous system that occurs chiefly in later life as a result of “degenerative” changes in the brain. Produces tremor, rigidity of the limbs, and slowness and imprecise movements.ay-Sachs Disease: rare inherited disorder that progressively destroys nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and spinal cord. (GHR) A life-threatening disease of the nervous system passed down through families.The disease occurs when the body lacks a protein that helps break down a chemical found in nerve tissue.

Autonomic nervous system disorder Autonomic nervous system disorder. Also known as Autonomic Disease. Your autonomic nervous system is the part of your nervous system that controls involuntary actions, such as the beating of your heart and the widening or narrowing of your blood vessels.When something goes wrong in this system, it can cause serious problems, including. 1  Blood pressure problems.2  Heart problems.our autonomic nervous system is the part of your nervous system that controls involuntary actions, such as the beating of your heart and the widening or narrowing of your blood vessels.

List of incurable diseases Multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems.

Neuromuscular Disease A neuromuscular disease is a disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system.The peripheral nervous system includes muscles, the nerve-muscle (neuromuscular) junction, peripheral nerves in the limbs, and the motor-nerve cells in the spinal cord.Other spinal cord or brain diseases are not considered “neuromuscular” diseases.Patients with neuromuscular diseases can have weakness, loss of muscle bulk, muscle twitching, cramping, numbness, tingling, and a host of other symptoms.Problems with the nerve-muscle junction can also cause droopy eyelids, double vision, and weakness that worsen with activity.ther spinal cord or brain diseases are not considered “neuromuscular” diseases. Patients with neuromuscular diseases can have weakness, loss of muscle bulk, muscle twitching, cramping, numbness, tingling, and a host of other symptoms.

Autonomic Nerve Disorders Autonomic nerve disorders (dysautonomia) refer to disorders of autonomic nervous system (ANS) function. Dysautonomia is a general term used to describe a breakdown or abnormal function of the ANS.utonomic dysfunction can occur as a secondary condition of another disease process, like diabetes, or as a primary disorder where the autonomic nervous system is the only system impacted. These conditions are often misdiagnosed. Over one million Americans are impacted by a primary autonomic system disorder.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) - common problems 1 Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an incurable disease of the central nervous system that can affect the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.  Common symptoms include fatigue, bladder and bowel problems, sexual problems, pain, cognitive and mood changes such as depression, muscular and visual changes.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) - common problems Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an incurable disease of the central nervous system that irritates the myelin and causes plaques or lesions to appear. The brain, spinal cord and optic nerves can be affected. The disease most commonly affects young white females living in temperate (warmer) regions of the world.

Neurological Disorders: Types, Research & Treatment Neurological disorders are health conditions involving the nervous system. A neurological disorder is a disease or injury of the central nervous system that causes paralysis of any part of the body. 1  Sometimes physical injury to the brain, spinal cord, or nerves can be the cause of neurological disorders.

Peripheral Nerve Disorders Neuropathy is the disease of the nervous system in which there is a disturbance in the function of a nerve or particular group of nerves. The three major forms of nerve damage are: peripheral neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, and mononeuropathy. The most common form is peripheral neuropathy, which mainly affects the feet and legs. Sciatica is pain, tingling, or numbness produced by an irritation of the sciatic nerve.
