parasite originates

from contaminated items and surfaces that have been tainted by the feces of an infected animal.

The symptoms of

Giardia, which may begin to appear 2 days after infection, include violent

diarrhea, excess

gas, stomach or abdominal cramps, upset stomach, and nausea. Resulting dehydration and nutritional loss may need immediate treatment.

The

spleen

is an

organ

found in

virtually all

•

The spleen plays important roles in regard to

red blood cells

and

the

immune system.

•

It removes old red blood cells and holds a reserve of blood in case of hemorrhagic shock

Homeostasis is the property of a system that

regulates its internal environment and tends to

maintain a stable, relatively constant condition

of properties such as temperature or

pH.

It can be either an

of the

FORMED elements of the blood are the ?

a) White cells.

b) Red cells.

c) Platelets.

d) Erythrocytes.

10987654321End

Answer : C

PlateletPlateletPlatelets, or

thrombocytes, are small, disk shaped clear cell

fragments (i.e. cells that do not have a

nucleus), 2–3

μm in

diameter,

which are derived from fragmentation of

precursor

megakaryocytes.

The average lifespan of a platelet is normally just 5 to 9 days.

Platelets are a natural source of

growth factors. They circulate

in the

blood

of

mammals

and are involved in hemostasis,

leading to the formation of

blood clots.

If the number of platelets is too low, excessive

bleeding

can

occur. However, if the number of platelets is too high, blood clots can form, which may obstruct blood vessels and result in such events as a

stroke,

myocardial infarction,

pulmonary

embolism

or the blockage of blood vessels to other parts of the

body, such as the extremities of the arms or legs.

Answer : A

CollagenCollagenCollagen

is a group of naturally occurring

proteins

found in animals,

especially in the flesh and connective tissues

of

vertebrates. It is the

main component of

connective tissue, and is the most abundant

protein in mammals,

making up about 25% to 35% of the whole-

body protein content.

Collagen, in the form of elongated

fibrils, is mostly found in

fibrous

tissues

such as tendon, ligament and skin, and is also abundant in

cornea, cartilage, bone, blood vessels, the gut, and intervertebral

disc.

The

fibroblast

is the most common cell which creates collagen.

Vitamin C deficiency causes

scurvy, a serious and painful

disease

Answer : A

ArteryArteryArteries

are

blood vessels

that carry oxygenated blood away from

the

The

Effective Arterial Blood Volume

(EABV) is that

extra cellular

Type 2 diabetes Type 2 diabetes --

Risk factorsRisk factors•

Weight.

•

Fat distribution.

•

Inactivity.

The less active you are, the greater your risk of type 2

diabetes. Physical activity helps you control your weight, uses up glucose as energy and makes your cells more sensitive to insulin.

•

Family history.

The risk of type 2 diabetes increases if your parent

or sibling has type 2 diabetes.

•

Race.

Although it's unclear why, people of certain races —

including blacks, Hispanics, American Indians and Asian-

Americans —

are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than

whites are.

•

Age.

The risk of type 2 diabetes increases as you get older,

especially after age 45. That's probably because people tend to exercise less, lose muscle mass and gain weight as they age.

62 When a pregnant woman

develops diabetes mellitus it is called _____.

Gestational diabetes

(or

gestational diabetes

mellitus,

GDM) is a condition in which women without previously diagnosed

diabetes

exhibit

high blood

glucose

levels during pregnancy

(especially during their third trimester).

•

Gestational diabetes is caused when the insulin receptors do not function properly. This is likely due to pregnancy-

related factors such as the presence of human placental lactogen

that interferes with susceptible insulin

receptors.

•

This in turn causes inappropriately elevated blood sugar levels.

Types of DiabetesTypes of DiabetesThere are three main types of diabetes mellitus (DM).

Type

1 DM

results from the body's failure to produce insulin, and

currently requires the person to inject insulin or wear an insulin pump. This form was previously referred to as "insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" (IDDM) or "juvenile diabetes".

Type

2 DM

results from

insulin resistance, a condition in which cells

fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency. This form was previously referred to as non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or "adult-onset diabetes".

The third main form,

gestational diabetes

occurs when pregnant

women without a previous diagnosis of diabetes develop a high blood glucose level. It may precede development of type

2 DM.

67 Untreated diabetes may

a) Blindness.

meaning "ringing" is the perception of sound

within the human ear (ringing of the ears) when no actual sound is present.

Tinnitus is not a disease, but a condition that can result from a wide range of underlying causes: neurological damage,

ear infections,

oxidative stress,

foreign objects in the ear, nasal allergies that prevent fluid drain, wax build-up, and exposure to loud sounds.

Answer : C

HypertensionHypertensionHypertension

(HTN) or

high blood pressure, sometimes called

arterial

hypertension, is a

chronic

medical condition

in which the

blood

pressure

in the

arteries

is elevated.

This requires the heart to work harder than normal to circulate blood through the blood vessels.

Blood pressure is summarised

by two

measurements,

systolic

and

diastolic, which depend on whether the

heart muscle is contracting (systole) or relaxed between beats (diastole) and equate to a maximum and minimum pressure, respectively.

Normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100-140mmHg systolic (top reading) and 60-90mmHg diastolic (bottom reading). High blood pressure is said to be present if it is persistently at or above 140/90

mmHg.

87 Hypertension is caused by all

of the following EXCEPT ?

a) Periodic elevated blood pressure.

narrowed blood vessels.

Alphavirus, that is transmitted to humans by virus-

CHIKV infection causes an illness with symptoms similar to

dengue fever, with an acute febrile

phase of the illness

lasting only two to five days, followed by a prolonged

arthralgic

disease that affects the joints of the

extremities.

The pain associated with CHIKV infection of the joints persists for weeks or months or in some cases years.

Answer : C

Visual acuity

(VA) is acuteness or clearness of

vision, which is dependent

on the sharpness of the retinal focus within the

eye

and the sensitivity of

the interpretative faculty of the brain.

•

Normal visual acuity is commonly referred to as

20/20 vision,

the metric equivalent of which is 6/6 vision.

•

In an

eye exam, lenses of varying powers are used to precisely

correct for

refractive errors. English alphabet letters are

typically used as most people will recognise

them.

•

If person visual acuity is

20/40,

the 20 is the distance in feet

between the subject and the chart. The 40 means that the subject can read the chart (from 20 feet away) as well as a normal person could read the same chart from 40 feet away.

•

This is calculated by finding the smallest

optotype

they can

identify and calculating the distance at which it has a

visual

angle

of 5

arcminutes.
