Understanding Diseases and Disorders

The video explores the body's interaction with microbes from birth, highlighting the difference between infectious diseases and disorders. Infectious diseases, like the common cold, are caused by pathogens and are transmissible. Disorders, such as diabetes, result from internal cell or tissue malfunctions and are non-transmissible. The video also touches on non-infectious diseases, which do not spread through contact. Examples like Malaria, Typhoid, and Cancer are introduced for further study.
