Summary on Disease Treatment for Asthma
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The coughing often occurs at night or early in the morning. Asthma affects people of all ages, but it most often starts during childhood. In the United States, more than 25 million people are known to have asthma.

The related health care costs are also substantial. This paper reviews the definition of overweight and obesity and the variations with age and ethnicity; health consequences and factors contributing to the development of obesity; and critically reviews the effectiveness of current public health strategies for risk factor reduction and obesity prevention.
Impact of Stress on Physical and Mental Health Discuss the impact on stress on physical and mental health.
Impact of Stress on Physical and Mental Health
Research articles on stress, psychological, emotional, physical, and mental health on aging. Psychological stress and physical activity (PA) are believed to be reciprocally related; however, most research examining the relationship between these constructs is devoted to the study of exercise and/or PA as an instrument to mitigate distress. A systematic search of Web of Science, Pub-Med, and SPORT Discuss was employed to find all relevant studies focusing on human participants. The literature search found 168 studies that examined the influence of stress on PA.

Reducing Health Disparities and Inequalities Report In 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published the first CDC Health Disparities and Inequalities Report (CHDIR).
Reducing Health Disparities and Inequalities Report
This report examined health disparities in the United States associated with various characteristics, including race/ethnicity, sex, income, education, disability status, and geography.
Among other recommendations, the 2011 CHDIR emphasized the need to address health disparities with a dual intervention strategy that focuses on populations at greatest need and improves the health of the general population by making interventions available to everyone.

Female Reproductive System Assignment Review the following tutorial to learn more about the Female Reproductive System. You will need Adobe Flash to view the tutorial in this assignment.
Female Reproductive System Assignment
Complete your essay by answering the questions below.
The Reproductive System. Bozeman Science. Retrieved April 2, 2018 from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSN5gfbzgwc
In this module, we discussed the structure and function of both the female and male reproductive systems. Use your required readings, the tutorial on The Reproductive System, and accomplish some independent research if necessary to complete your final case assignment, in which you discuss:
The process of spermatogenesis in the male testis. Be sure to include in your discussion how mitosis, meiosis I, and meiosis II are involved in spermatogenesis, and the hormones and supporting cells that regulate this process.
The process of oogenesis in the female. Be sure to include in your discussion how meiosis I and meiosis II are involved in oogenesis, and describe the hormones responsible for the development of the egg and release (ovulation).
Compare mitosis and meiosis. What is similar about these processes? What is different? Why is it important that meiosis be used in sexual reproduction?
View the following tutorial on Mistakes in Meiosis. Research an example of a disorder in which a mistake is made during meiosis. Describe the disorder. What are the consequences?
Urinary System and Normal Kidney Function Watch the tutorial below on normal kidney function, then address the questions in essay format.

This interactive tutorial further details the associated blood vessels to help explain the complexity of the urinary vascular system. In your essay assignment, explain the following:
Where the blood enters the kidney (describe the relevant vasculature and important kidney anatomy).
How blood flow passes the filtration membrane (describe the process of filtration through the Bowman’s capsule/glomerulus).
How the blood returns to the circulatory system (describe the relevant vasculature and important kidney anatomy).
Describe how the filtrates from the blood are sent through the tubular segments of the nephron (https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/human-biology/kidney-nephron/v/the-kidney-and-nephron) to the bladder.
Explain what happens at each segment of the ascending and descending loops.
Summarize the processes of absorption, filtration, secretion, and elimination which occur in the nephron.
