Question 13 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

In contrast to a disease, a disorder is generally defined as

Answer
A
any genetic mutation.
B
an untreatable condition.
C
an illness with specific symptoms.
D
any abnormality of body function.

Explanation

A disorder generally refers to an abnormality or disruption in how the body or mind functions. A disease is more often described as a specific illness with recognizable symptoms or causes, so “an illness with specific symptoms” is not the best contrast. The correct choice is “any abnormality of body function.”
