Final Project
 

In your role as a health care professional, you have been asked to speak to a community group regarding the connection between the human body and disease. You have been asked to select one of the CDC’s top five diseases (heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, or arthritis) that affects the systems explored in the class (see table below) and create a PowerPoint presentation that: 

1. Uses lay-person and medical      terminology to describe the anatomical and physiological changes      associated with the condition. 
2. Describes proper functioning of      the primary system(s) that is/are affected by the chronic disease you      select: 
   • Major organ(s) 
   • Essential functions 
   • Importance to health 
3. Evaluates the dysfunction as a      result of your chosen disease and describes the following: 
   • Contributing factors 
   • The nature of the dysfunction 
   • The effect on other systems       (comorbidities) 
4. Evaluates at least one genetic      factor and at least two lifestyle factors that contribute to the onset of      the disease. 
5. Analyzes at least two      preventive actions people can take to reduce their risk of getting the      disease. 
6. Analyzes at least two      environmental elements that contribute to the onset and progression of the      disease. Examples include: air quality, chemicals in products regularly      used and/or consumed, food quality, consumption of soda and caffeine,      petroleum-based chemicals used on and in food, genetically modified foods,      impact of plastic, tobacco use and/or second-hand smoke, UV light      exposure, environmental carcinogens, etcetera.
7. Analyze ways in which the      treatment of the disease can negatively impact the environment. Examples      include: medical and household waste, recycling challenges, radiation,      production of electricity, water usage, paper usage, air pollution,      etcetera.
