Health Exam

Hello Health Students!
Here is your exam.  This is an "open Book" exam, meaning you may use any resources you want to complete this test. This may include your notes, internet etc.  You do, however, need to work on your own. Make sure you ask Scott if you are unsure about any of the questions or directions.


We  spent a lot of time at the beginning of our year learning about the digestive system and nutritional needs.
  1. Describe what a healthy diet would look like for someone your age with your physical activity. Be sure to explain what foods or food groups should be included and why they would be important

We also looked at how the body is organized and how the different systems work together.
2. Explain how the following systems connect to each other and work together:
respiratory system and circulatory system
digestive system and excretory system

We looked at cardiovascular health as well over the last few months.
3.  Compare and contrast the following terms( in other words, show how they are the same/different and if they have anything to do with each other: hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke

Lastly, we looked at smoking and advertising.
4.  Choice A.   Compose a short letter to a cigarette company to convince them to change their marketing strategies for their cigarettes

Choice B Compose a letter to a friend to convince them to quit smoking.
Make sure you use as many reasons why and back your reasons/arguments up as best you can.  Make an airtight case..........
