Paper On Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a disorder that affects cells that produce sweat, mucus, and stomach juices. These fluids are known to be thin and slippery, but, in people with cystic fibrosis, a defective gene causes the fluids to become thick and sticky instead of the acing as the lubricant they were meant to be. In the body, this can cause catastrophe. The secretions can plug up tubes, ducts and passageways, most noticeable in the lungs and pancreas. Cystic fibrosis creates an environment where victims have to be cared for everyday, however, people with this condition are usually able to attend school and work. Improvements in screening and treatments mean people with cystic fibrosis can now maybe live into their 30s or even live up to their 40s and
50s.
