Explanation

• The skeleton provides a structural framework that supports and protects the internal organs of the human body, such as the brain, heart, lungs, and digestive organs.
• It also allows for movement, produces blood cells, and stores minerals.

Explanation

The diseases you mentioned are all related to the heart and cardiovascular system:

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Hardening of the blood vessels (atherosclerosis)
• Chest pain (angina)
• Heart attacks (myocardial infarction)
• Strokes (cerebrovascular accident)

Explanation

The heart is located in the thoracic cavity, slightly to the left of the center of the chest, behind the breastbone (sternum).

Explanation

• Blood vessels, which include arteries, veins, and capillaries.
• It form a network that carries blood throughout the body.

Explanation

Explanation

• Asthma is a common breathing disorder that causes difficulty in breathing due to swollen air passages.
• The airways become inflamed, and the muscles around them constrict, making it hard to breathe.

Explanation

• Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer.
• It is responsible for about 80-90% of all lung cancer deaths.

Explanation

Asthma and lung cancer are two main disorders that affect the lungs.

• Asthma: a chronic inflammatory disease that causes recurring episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath due to the inflammation of the airways.
• Lung Cancer: a disease caused by the abnormal growth of cells.

Explanation

• The lungs are responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide through the process of respiration.
• Oxygen from the air we breathe in is absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Carbon dioxide, a waste product, is removed from the bloodstream and exhaled out.

Explanation

• The air you breathe in enters the lungs through the windpipe (trachea).
• The trachea is a tube that connects the throat (pharynx) to the lungs, allowing air to pass through during breathing.
