Alzheimer's disease is caused by plaques and tangles in the brain that damage and kill neurons. It usually occurs in older adults as the brain ages, and can run in families with certain gene mutations that increase risk. Symptoms include memory loss, confusion, mood changes, and difficulty communicating. There is no cure, but lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, and mental stimulation may help prevent Alzheimer's or slow its progression. It ultimately results in death, usually due to complications like pneumonia or failure to eat. Alzheimer's has a significant impact on individuals, their families, and society as a whole.

1. ALZHEIMER'S
9d Students know the  9b Students know how
functions of the nervous the nervous system mediates
system and the role of communication between
different parts of the body
neurons in transmitting
and the body’s interactions
electrochemical impulses
with the environment

2.  Alzheimer's
WHAT CAUSES ALZEIMER’S
 Alzheimer's disease start’s by a bunch of proteins in the brain
 Some how scientist say that plaque’s and tangles may be the
cause of Alzheimer’s.
 Alzheimer’s disease occurs when neurons get damaged in parts
of the brain and start to die
 As neurons die the brain is left with less neuron’s so its hard to
remember new information they also lose their ability to understand
and interact with other people

3. WHY DOES ALZHEIMER’S
HAPPEN WHEN YOUR OLD
 Alzheimer’s disease mostly occurs when someone reaches an
age or somewhere around age 70
 It does it have to be around age 70 it could happen anytime
 Cause of a large amount of the brain’s neurons are already dead
or are dying from the disease
 The process may go faster as the person ages .

4. WHY DO PEOPLE GET
ALZHEIMER’S
 People that have parent’s or sibling that developed Alzheimer's
disease are likely to develop it as well
 Scientists say that there’s two kinds of gene that are passed by
family members The first gene is APOE-e4, that increases the
chance of developing Alzheimer's
 The others are just cause of the ageing and neurons die

5. HISTORY OF ALZHEIMERS
 In 1901 a German psychiatrist Alois Alzheimer identified the
first case of what became known as Alzheimer's A fifty year old
woman he called Auguste D had Alzheimer's. she died in 1906
cause of Alzheimer’s
 It was first described as a distinctive disease by Emil Kraepelin

6. WAY’S TO PREVENT
ALZHEIMER’S
 You can prevent Alzheimer’s disease and other disease by eating
right exercising staying mentally and socially active and keeping
stress in check
 According to scientific research physical exercising reduces
your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by 50 percent
 Also reading can prevent you from having Alzheimer's.

7. WHAT HAPPENS DURING IT
 Neurons begin to work less and may wander or become
confused anxious or engaging in angry outbursts tearfulness or
restlessness.
 His attention span may shorten. He may have problems
recognizing family and friends and difficulty with language
reading writing and use of inappropriate undressing or the use of
vulgar language.

8. WHY DO SOME PEOPLE
GET ALZHEIMER AND
SOME DONT
 The first reason why other people just don’t get is because it
does it run on their family while other’s do
 Also it maybe cause of the ageing of the person or their
personal health
 Or they never exercise their brain or don’t read or have the
enough food to be health

9. SYMPTOMS OF
ALZHEIMERS
 The mood and personalities of people with Alzheimer's can change.
They can become confused suspicious depressed fearful or anxious
 A person with Alzheimer's may start to remove themselves from
hobbies such as social activities work projects or sports
 People with Alzheimer's may have trouble joining a conversation.
They may stop in the middle of a conversation and have no idea how to
continue or they may repeat stuff they already said

10. HOW DO PEOPLE DIE
FROM IT
 Alzheimer's patients forget how to eat Some forget how to
swallow. So when they eat they might start choking.
 Some forget how to breath and they die without no one
wondering how it happen
 Some complications of Alzheimer's are heart attacks
thromboembolisms strokes kidney failure

11. HOW DOES THIS IMPACT
THE WORLD
 Well I think this impacts our community cause many people die
of Alzheimer's. Also it impact their family and friends. Alzheimer’s
is a sad disease because you forget your family members and don’t
remember the good times you spent with your friends or family. It’s
also a painful death.
