33 The smallest
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.

10987654321End
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
in
which defective collagen prevents the formation of strong connective tissue.

nervous system, and for the formation of
blood.
It is one of the eight
B vitamins. It is normally involved in the
metabolism
of every
cell
of the human body, especially
affecting
DNA
synthesis and regulation, but also
fatty
acid
synthesis and energy production.
•
Vitamin B12
deficiency can potentially cause severe and
irreversible damage, especially to the brain and nervous system. At levels only slightly lower than normal, a range of symptoms such as
fatigue,
depression, and poor
memory
may
be experienced.

from ?
a) Artery.
b) Vein.
c) Capillary.
d) Nerve.
10987654321End
Answer : A
ArteryArteryArteries
are
blood vessels
that carry oxygenated blood away from
the
heart. There are two exceptions to this norm, the
pulmonary
and
the
umbilical arteries.
The
Effective Arterial Blood Volume
(EABV) is that
extra cellular
fluid
(ECF) which fills the arterial system.
The
circulatory system
is vital for sustaining
life. Its proper
functioning is responsible for the delivery of
oxygen
and
nutrients
to
all cells, as well as the removal of
carbon dioxide
and waste products,
the maintenance of optimum
pH, and the circulation of proteins and
cells of the
immune system.
In
developed countries, the two
leading causes of death, myocardial
infarction
(heart attack), and
stroke, may each directly result from
an arterial system that has been slowly and progressively compromised by years of deterioration.

10987654321EndAnswer : D
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 _____.
a) Gestational diabetes.
b) Type -
2 diabetes mellitus.
c) Type -
1 diabetes mellitus.
d) Diabetes insipidus.
10987654321End
Answer : A
Gestational diabetesGestational diabetes•
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
result in all of the following except ?
a) Blindness.

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.

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.
