a brand new lesson you can also share this video to a lot more learners and entirely expand the video reach and make it be seen by more people before we proceed to our lesson we would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to all valuable comments we received in our previous videos and shout out to miss berlina for being active and having such a nice comment on our videos thank you for your love and support in our previous videos you have learned how the different structures of the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to deliver oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the different parts of the body in this video you will be able to understand and recognize the negative effects of cigarette smoking on our respiratory and circulatory system ways of detecting preventing and treating diseases in the respiratory and circulatory system and you will be able to know how our lifestyle can affect the functionings of the respiratory and circulatory system so let us start cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ in the body causing many illnesses and affecting health in general the negative effects of cigarette smoking on circulatory system include increased heart rate and blood pressure coronary heart disease arteriosclerosis and vascular diseases the respiratory diseases caused by smoking are chronic bronchitis amphisima asthma cough colds tuberculosis lung cancer and other respiratory infections depending on the respiratory and circulatory condition medication are based on the severity of the diseases as recommended by doctors let us start with anficiema emphysema is a lung condition that causes shortness of breathing emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two conditions that make up chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or the copd cigarette smoking is the leading cause of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as well as marijuana smoke air pollution and chemical fumes and dust a person with empisima could be treated using prescribed medication and supportive therapy that includes oxygen and smoking cessation therapy next is the bronchitis bronchitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane that lines the bronchial tubes the thick mucus build up causing cough difficulty in breathing and heavy feeling in the chest bronchitis may be caused by bacteria viruses are irritants in the air there is no cure for chronic bronchitis but there are several medications to help relieve symptoms it is also important to avoid smoking and smoky environments humania pneumonia is an infection in one or both lungs which causes inflammations of the ear sacs the infection is caused by bacteria viruses and fungi treatment for pneumonia involves curing the infection and preventing complications people who have community acquired pneumonia usually can be treated at home with medication such as antibiotics and pain reliever recommended by the doctor asthma asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder caused by inflammation and narrowing of the broadcall tubes and asthma triggered by airborne substances certain foods common bacteria and viruses inhalers and nebulizers are key components of asthma treatment next is tuberculosis tuberculosis is a disease caused by bacteria called mycobacterium tuberculosis the bacteria usually attack lungs but they can also damage other parts of the body the bacteria that causes tuberculosis are spread from one person to another person through tiny droplets release into the air via cough and sneezes with early detection and appropriate antibiotics tuberculosis is treatable treatment for tuberculosis can vary it may involve taking an antibiotic once a week for 12 weeks or every day for 9 months arteriosclerosis arteriosclerosis occurs when the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from the heart and the rest of the body becomes thickens and hardens due to factors such as smoking high blood pressure and cholesterol in the blood a person with arteriosclerosis is advised to undergo medication and surgical procedure and treatment to change lifestyle and lastly the coronary heart disease coronary heart disease develops when the major blood vessels that supply our heart with blood oxygen and nutrients become damaged this disease can be caused by high cholesterol foods diabetes family history and smoking coronary heart disease is commonly treated with a combination of a change in lifestyle prescribed medication and in some cases through surgery the leading causes of death around the world our diseases affecting their respiratory and circulatory systems however they can be prevented simply by having a healthy lifestyle that promotes wellness here are some tips you can do to prevent respiratory and circulatory diseases first quit and stop smoking second eat healthy foods third exercise regularly four maintain a healthy weight gift have enough rest or sleep sixth take vitamin c to improve immune system and lastly proper hygiene if you practice all of those tips then you will have a healthy respiratory and circulatory system so which among those tips do you practice in your lifestyle comment your answer down below on the comment section and let us see if we have the same practices we will try to reply as soon as possible because your insights really matters to us and that is with our lesson for today make sure you smash the
