5. What Is Health ?
Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of
a living organism
In humans, it is the general condition of a person's mind and
body, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader
sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and
social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

The thyroid gland is found in
all vertebrates. In fish, it is
usually located below the gills
and is not always divided into
distinct lobes. However, in
some teleost's, patches of
thyroid tissue are found
elsewhere in the body,
associated with the kidneys,
spleen, heart, or eyes

hyperthyroidism presents which is followed by a period
of hypothyroidism. These are Hashimoto's thyroiditis and
postpartum thyroiditis

contact, exposure to infected body fluids or tissues,
and from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery,
or breastfeeding There is no risk of acquiring HIV if
exposed to feces, nasal secretions, saliva, sputum,

contaminated with blood. It is possible to be co-infected
by more than one strain of HIV—a condition
known as HIV super infection
12. Rabies

a viral disease that causes
acute inflammation of the brain in
humans and other blooded animals. The
time period between contracting the

13. Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis typically attacks the lungs,
but can also affect other parts of the body.
It is spread through the air when people
who have an active TB infection cough,
sneeze, or otherwise transmit respiratory
fluids through the air. Most infections do
not have symptoms, known as latent
tuberculosis. About one in ten latent
infections eventually progresses to active
disease which, if left untreated, kills more
than 50% of those so infected.
