different parts of the body. inherited diseases, brain disorders associated with mental illness, and head injuries can all affect the way the brain works and upset the daily activities of the rest of the body.problems that can affect the brain include:brain tumors. a tumor is a swelling caused by overgrown tissue. a tumor in the brain may grow slowly and produce few symptoms until it becomes large, or it can grow and spread rapidly, causing severe and quickly worsening symptoms. brain tumors in children can be benign or malignant. benign tumors usually grow in one place and may be curable through surgery if theyre located in a place where they can be removed without damaging the normal tissue near the tumor. a malignant tumor is cancerous and more likely to grow rapidly and spread.headaches. of the many different types of headaches, the most frequently occurring include tension headache (the most common type), caused by muscle tension in the head, neck, and shoulders; migraine, an intense, recurring headache with an unclear cause; and cluster headache, considered by some to be a form of migraine. migraines occur with or without warning and may last for several hours or days. there seems to be an inherited predisposition to migraines as well as certain triggers that can lead to them. people with migraines may experience dizziness, numbness, sensitivity to light, and nausea, and may see flashing zigzag lines before their eyes.mental illness. mental illnesses are psychological and behavioral in nature and involve a wide range of problems in thought and function. certain mental illnesses are now known to be linked to structural abnormalities or chemical dysfunction of the brain. some mental illnesses are inherited, but often the cause is unknown. injuries to the brain and chronic drug or alcohol abuse also can trigger some mental illnesses. signs of chronic mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia may first show up in childhood. mental illnesses that can be seen in younger people include depression, eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder (ocd), and phobias.head injuries. head injuries fit into two categories: external (usually scalp) injuries and internal head injuries. internal injuries may involve the skull, the blood vessels within the skull, or the brain. fortunately, most childhood falls or blows to the head result in injury to the scalp only, which is usually more frightening than threatening. an internal head injury could have more serious implications because the skull serves as the protective helmet for the delicate brain.50. what will happen if something goes wrong with the brain?a. itll affect the function of the brainb. itll cause
