, Genetic: oncogene that regulate all growth, Viruses: oncogenic viruses
alter host cell DNA, Radiation: ultraviolet rays (sun, x-rays, gamma rays, and
radioactive chemicals cause cumulative chromosomal damage in cells,
Chemicals: exposure to both natural and synthesis products in excess may
be hazardous; Biologic factors: chronic irritation and inflammation with
increased mitosis, Age: increasing, Diet: natural substances, additive, or
processing methods, hormones
Why do infants have a higher need for water in the body? (Not referring to feeding
and infant water, but body composition.)
Give this one a try later!
The bodies of infants and young children contain more water (75%) than
those of adults and are more vulnerable to dehydration(1). They have a
larger surface area in relation to weight (surface-to-volume ratio) than do
adult bodies, which allows for greater water loss through the skin.

Food, insulin, acid-base balance, medications such as diuretics, excessive
losses from the body due to diarrhea, presence of excessive aldosterone
or glucocorticoid in the body decreased dietary intake from alcoholism.
Eating disorders, or starvation

increases the irritability of the nervous system causing restlessness, muscle
twitching, tingling, and numbness of the fingers, and eventually tetany,
seizure, and coma.
Protooncogenes

a. when proto-oncogenes are converted to an onco gene, a cell can
become malignant; they encode proteins that function in a cells' normal
activity. Proto-oncogenes are normal cellular genes that promote growth.
Proto-oncogenes are not the same as oncogenes, which are mutant
proto-oncogenes. They are different from tumor-suppressor genes and do
not alter tumor-suppressor genes. Mutational events lead to oncogenes, a
mutated proto-oncogene.
