<u>FORMATION OF DECUBITUS ULCER:</u>

Decubitus Ulcer, also termed as Bed sores often occur when the pressure of one’s body weight cuts off the blood supply to that organ where the pressure is applied leading to death of tissues.

It is most common among the patients who are bed ridden and among the people who sits or sleeps for a majority amount of time. When an individual is seated or is sleeping for a long time, the body exerts a pressure at the point of contact that is in between the body and the firm surface, like bed or a wheelchair. This would lead to cut off of blood supply to the point where the pressure is applied which would lead to damage of skin and tissues eventually leading to the death of tissues.

This questions seems to be a question where you are required to mention more than one point. The question has two options of course, I'll tell you my personal answer to the question in broken up points.

I disagree with this statement because I believe that Physical Education (PE) is a very important subject for each individual.
It has been proven that any sort of physical education improves the activity of your brain, if an individual's level of brain activity is higher, it means he learns more from other education and performs better on his tests.
Physical Education is also a practical lesson that relieves stress off students from all the other core subjects that do not that involve as much practical activity.
Physical Education makes you healthier, the healthier you are the better your life style and (technically) life time will be.
Physical Education is also now proven to wake up students, this means students are less lazy and goes back to one of my previous points mentioning a students activity and performance in a lesson or a test.

I hope this helped, any other questions let me know. :3
