Part 3: Respiratory Disorders Do you know someone who has asthma or emphysema? Have you or anyone you know ever had bronchitis or pneumonia? All of those are examples of respiratory disorders. When you breathe, your lungs take in oxygen and deliver it to your bloodstream for your organs and cells to use. During a normal day, you can breathe up to 25,000 times. If you have a respiratory disorder, this can make breathing difficult and reduce the amount of oxygen your body receives. If the disorder becomes bad enough, it can be fatal. Research a respiratory disorder found on the website below, or any other you find. Create an infomercial on your disease. Remember to include what its symptoms include, who it can affect most, how common or uncommon it is, what other issues it can cause, and what medications or changes in diet/lifestyle may help with symptom relief. Make sure to cite your sources, and include statistics in a table or a graph based on information you found about your disorder. Your infomercial can be in a Powerpoint or as a written script of what would be said. Be creative.
