What would be some possible effects of connective tissue disease?

Connective tissue disease include some diseases where tissues rich in protein, that support body parts and organs get damaged. These tissues include cartilage, bones and fats and the diseases caused by the damage of these tissues include joints pain, muscles damage and skin damage etc.

However, the problems from Connective tissue disease are not solely confined to these organs and can effect other organs too like kidneys,lungs,heart,eyes,blood vessels and gastrointestinal tract. More than two hundred connective tissue disorders exist that show a variety of effects, Here we will discuss only few:

Epidermolysis bullosa:

This connective tissue disorder effect the skin by making it very fragile that even a minor cut can tear the skin and leave blisters. This occurs due to defect of some proteins.

Marfan syndrome:

This syndrome affects ligaments, heart, eyes, and blood vessels. The people suffering from the disease have very long bones and abnormal placement of eye lenses. This is caused by genetic mutations.

Osteogenesis imperfecta:

This conditions makes the bones very brittle and lowers the mass of joints, muscles and ligaments. It can also cause Curved spine,Thin skin  and breathing problems in the person suffering from the disorder.

This also occurs due to mutation of genes.

Polymyositis and dermatomyositis:

In both these disorders, inflammation of skin and muscles occur and can cause symptoms fatigue, weakness, Shortness of breath,Difficulty swallowing ,Weight loss .

Note: These are some of the effects discussed but as mentioned earlier there are more than 200 disorders of connective tissues and their effects can vary from one to another.

Hope it help!

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
