1. THERE ARE DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH
THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM:

2. 1. Asthma – is a condition when a person experiences difficulty in
breathing as a result of the narrowing and swelling of the bronchial
airways. This can be triggered by allergies brought by pollens, dust,
fumes, certain foods and medications, air pollutants and bacteria.
2. Common Cold – is among the most common respiratory disease.
This is a disease affecting the upper respiratory tract (nose and
throat). It is transmitted by virus infected airborne droplets or by
direct contact with infected secretions.

3. 3. Pneumonia – is the infection of the lungs caused by viruses and bacteria
wherein the alveoli in the lungs are inflamed and become filled with liquid
and pus making it difficult for the lungs to transfer oxygen to the blood. If not
treated immediately, this serious medical condition can lead to death.
4. Influenza – . is commonly called the flu. It is caused by the influenza
virus that attacks your throat, nose and lungs. It is a highly contagious
disease and can spread directly through air droplets when people with flu
sneeze, cough or talk and spread indirectly with objects contaminated with
virus.

4. 5. Bronchitis - is the inflammation or swelling of bronchial
tube lining. Person with bronchitis may experience breathing
difficulty because of the mucus or phlegm forms in the airways
obstructing the flow of oxygen into the lungs.
6. Tuberculosis (TB) – is a bacterial infection of the lungs caused by
mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is an airborne disease that can spread
from person to person through respiratory droplets via coughing and
sneezing. This may cause death if not treated early and properly.

5. Diseases of the blood vessels and the heart are known as cardiovascular
diseases. There are ways to prevent circulatory diseases by living a healthy
lifestyle.
Atherosclerosis – is a condition that develops when a substance called plaque builds
up in the walls of the arteries making it harder for blood to flow through. If a blood clot forms, it can block
the blood flow that can cause heart attack or stroke. The risk factors for these diseases are smoking,
eating food high in fats, excessive alcohol intake, diabetes and increased stress.
Stroke – occurs when it damages the brain when a blood vessel gets blocked or
usually leaked from a blood clot. Some risk factors for stroke include smoking, high blood pressure,
excessive alcohol intake and diabetes.

6. Hypertension – is the another name for high blood pressure. It can lead to severe health complications.
Is also known as the silent killer due to the fact that people with hypertension usually has no symptoms.
The causes of this disease include obesity, diabetes, lack of fruits and vegetables in the diet and high salt
intake.
Heart attack – occurs when the blood flow to the part of the heart is blocked by blood clot, the
heart muscle supplied by the artery begins to die. The causes for the heart attack are atherosclerosis,
diabetes, high blood pressure and gender (more common in males).
Prevention on both respiratory and circulatory
disease is always better than their treatment.

7. The following are some ways to prevent
respiratory and circulatory diseases:
1.Good nutrition, good sleep and rest enhances your immune
system that helps the body to resist infections. And avoid eating
high cholesterol and fatty foods.
2. Do not smoke. Cigarettes contain harmful substances that can
be fatal to your body.

clean because it will reduce the risk of catching any diseases.
5. Avoid crowds. Avoid direct contact with person suffering
from respiratory diseases. To avoid contamination it is very
important to take all the necessary precautions.

Choose the correct answer from list:
A. Hypertension F. Covid-19
B. Atherosclerosis G. Heart attack
C. Common Cold H. Pneumonia
D. Bronchitis I. Influenza
