Error 404: Oxygen Not Found.

Introduction

We've all lost our breath every now and then, be it running to class/work or during a game of tag. Sometimes we just need to sit down and take a breather. Imagine having to do that, but so frequent that you have to carry around a medical device to shoot medication in your lungs to feel better. That would be asthma. A well known and highly common disease that almost everyone seems to have. Most of have if not one but multiple friends with this disease. But what exactly is it? That's what I'm going to be informing you on this post. 

In our class "Disease" we learned about the eleven body systems, what they do to support the body's functions, and what could go wrong with each and every one of them. We looked at viruses, cells, and many diseases. We also went through learning about how people label diseases, splitting them into four different ways of classification. The four ways of classifying a disease goes into these four sections: Infectious, genetic, environmental, and multifactorial. We even drove the class into learning a thing or two about cloning and how it works, along with why it's illegal to clone humans and a bunch of other strange questions about it that I'm surprised our teacher could answer. 

The project itself was to draw a life sized "gingerbread man" as we called them, put in the organs that we theorized were affected by the disease of choice (which was an influenced choice based on a anonymous interviewee from our family). After this we were free to do whatever with how we presented our collected information in the project. I chose to make it entirely in a slideshow format as I found it easier to work with than just typing it out on this post.

Without further hesitation.

Here is my slideshow, it contains practically everything I know and learned about the subject, along with how my interviewee deals with his asthma and how it affects his lifestyle.
