Based on the analysis of the image and research into the effects of smoking, here is the solution to the worksheet task.
The goal is to match the dangers of smoking with the correct organs shown in the diagram. The organs depicted are the brain, lungs, heart, stomach, liver, intestines, and kidneys. Below is a list of the primary dangers of smoking for each organ, which would be the content for the "cards" to be cut out and stuck next to the corresponding organ.
Solution:
*
Brain: Smoking increases the risk of stroke by damaging blood vessels and promoting blood clots. It can also contribute to cognitive decline and dementia.
*
Lungs: Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. It also causes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, by damaging the airways and alveoli.
*
Heart: Smoking damages the lining of the arteries, leading to atherosclerosis (narrowing and hardening of the arteries). This significantly increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.
*
Stomach & Intestines: Smoking increases the risk of developing peptic ulcers and makes them harder to heal. It is also linked to an increased risk of Crohn's disease and may worsen its symptoms.
*
Liver: Smoking can accelerate liver damage in people with hepatitis C and other liver diseases. It is also associated with an increased risk of liver cancer.
*
Kidneys: Smoking doubles the risk of kidney cancer and can accelerate the progression of kidney disease, especially in people with diabetes or high blood pressure.
By matching these effects to the organs in the diagram, the student will correctly label how smoking harms the human body.
