What is acid reflux and heart burn or GERD?
Malfunction of sphincter
Gastro esophageal reflex disorder
stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus and causes heartburn
What are the signs and symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn?
- chest pain
- dry cough
- sore throat
- bad breath
- “burning” pain
What are causes of acid reflux and heartburn?
This can be triggered by various factors including diet, lifestyle, and certain medical conditions.
Acid reflux might happen after a large, rich meal, or when you lie down too soon after dinner.
spicy food causes digestion process to slow down and late dinners does not give system enough time to digest leading to gatro jucies irritating esophagus lining
What are relieving factors of heartburn?
- stay standing
- bland dinners
What happens in digestive system when diarrhea occurs?
- food passes too fast through the large intestine and not all the water gets absorbed
What happens in digestive system if constipation occurs?
- food passes too slowly through the large intestine causing too much water to be absorbed so the waste cannot pass smoothly
What would cuase someone to feel tired, dizzy, short of breath and have a racing heart?
Not enough oxygen being circulated throughout the body which means cells can’t perform cellular respiration to work properly and too much carbon dioxide in body
As a result, the heart has a hard time pumping enough blood. The reduced blood flow sends less oxygen out to the body
How might a problme with blood or heart impact the delivery of oxygen to body cells?
It decreases the amount of oxygen that gets delivered to body cells
WHat kind of information can blood tests provide about circulatory health?
- see the oxygen supply in the blood
- blood’s pressure
- pressure of hemoglobin
- amount of white and red blood cells
How does not eating leafy greens and iron-rich foods impact delivery of oxygen?
Shortage of hemoglobin so the oxygen is not able to bind and move throughout the body making the heart have a hard time pumping enough blood
Iron is crucial for the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Without sufficient iron, the body struggles to produce enough hemoglobin, reducing the capacity of red blood cells to transport oxygen, which can lead to fatigue, shortness of breath, and other symptoms.
What is anemia and what is it caused by?
- low in iron leading to shortage of hemoglobin
- oxygen cannot bind and move throughout the body
- caused from low iron rich foods
- heart beating fast (heart’s reaction to supply as much oxygen as it can)
What are treatments to anemia?
- eat iron-rich foods
- take iron medications
What happens in the airways during an asthma attack?
Airways are narrow and swell, produce extra mucus
breathing is difficult which triggers coughing
In asthma, excess mucus production is primarily due to airway inflammation and the body’s attempt to trap and remove irritants. This inflammation, triggered by various factors like allergens or irritants, leads to an increased production of mucus by the airway lining. The resulting thick, sticky mucus can then block airways, making it difficult to breathe
What is that most common symptom associated with asthma?
chest tightness and coughing
What is a spirometry test?
measure how much air you can exhale and how quickly you can do it
What is one treatment that can manage asthma
bronchodilators open swollen airways, inhaled corticosteroids, inhalers deliver medication to lungs
Explain why restircted airflow makes it harder for the body to get oxygen
less oxygen gets in her body and blood
This makes it harder for air to flow out of your airways when you breathe out.
What is two strategies someone can do beofre excersize to help the asthma
- use quick relief inhaler
- do a proper warm up
What is teh church’s perspective on the use fo embryonic stem cells
The church draws the line at the use of embryonic stem cells as this involves destroying embroys which means ending one life in the hope of saving another. Each life, no matter how small, deserves our care and protection
What is the church view on tissue stem cells?
The church fully supports research that respects and safegaurds human life, such as using adult stem cells in treatments like bone marrow transplants for leukemia
What is the dignity of a human person and how does this relate to embroys?
- Every human being is created uniquely by God and made in God’s image.
- This means each person has inherent dignity and value from the very beginning of life
- You are valued for who you are and not for what you can do.
- This principle reminds us that every human life has worth, regardless of ability, age or health
- This includes groups of people like elderly, special needs, babies, embryos
- Friends, dating, homeless and slavery are valued for what they can do
How is an embryo considered a human being?
- the unique genetic makeup from both parents make it a human being from the start
- so it deserves respect and dignity
- it has individuality and autonomy as it develops on its own and controls its growth from the very beginning
- it has development potential to becoming a fully formed human
- THINK OF SEED ANALOGY
- The church has said that human life must be respected and protected from the moment of knowing of the baby
- it should have the rights of a person
What is church’s view on cloning?
Supports:
- advancmenet in science and medicine that respect human dignity
- any advancement that promises to respect human life
Refuses:
- treats people like objects
- instead of honoring each person as unique, it makes us look like a product or tool
- goes against value that everyone is unique and valuable
What is church view on stem cell research?
Supports:
- use of adult cells where there is no destruction of human embryo
Refuses:
- embryonic stem cell research as it requires destruction of it
- not okay to end one life to benefit another
- real progress doesn’t harm anyone
