Why People Demand Health?
In your own words use utility analysis to explain why people demand health. How does the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility fit into the analysis? How would you expect the price elasticity of demand for medical care to vary with health status? Give a specific example.

Quarantine and Isolation to Control Measles
1. Is there treatment for measles?
2. How is measles spread and passed to others?
3. Are quarantine and isolation effective control measures when immunization isn't an option? If so, why? If not, why aren't these effective control measures?

Concepts from Exercise Physiology
Using the Internet or the APUS online library, choose one concept or theory that is discussed in this week's reading material and in your own words, provide a brief presentation. You are required to cite your resource and provide proper credit to the source or author
This week we will explore the cardio-respiratory system and its regulation. This includes the structure and function of the respiratory system. An assessment of the differences among pulmonary ventilation and external and internal respiration will be explored.
We will also assess the cardio-respiratory response to acute exercise. Part of this assessment will be a review of the resting heart rate of women and how this differs from that of men. The cardiac response to acute exercise will be examined and the role of blood pressure in the exercise response.
Finally, we will look at the principles of exercise training. This includes determining the differences between muscle strength and power. We will look at how heredity plays a major role in the body's response to both one exercise bout and also to a training program.
Additionally, we will review the different types of resistance training, including: static, free weights, eccentric contraction, variable resistance training, isokinetic training, plyometrics, and electrical stimulation training.
