Tuberculosis primarily affects the lungs (pulmonary TB), though it can also affect other organs. The bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis mainly infects the lungs where it causes symptoms like persistent cough, chest pain, and coughing up blood. TB can spread to other organs (extrapulmonary TB) but lungs are the primary site.

The kidney has a bean-shaped structure, each kidney has a convex and concave surface.

The cardiac sounds typically described as lub-dub are caused by the closing of the cardiac valves. The first sound (lub) is caused by the closing of the mitral and tricuspid valves and the second dub is caused by the closing of the aortic and pulmonic valves.

Yes, it is correct. Areolar tissue is a type of connective tissue, and not epithelial tissue. Areolar tissue is found between skin and muscles, around blood vessels and nerves and in the bone marrow.

This is paired incorrectly. Skin epithelial cells are arranged in many layers to prevent wear and tear. Since they are arranged in a pattern of layers, the epithelium is called stratified squamous epithelium. Germinal epithelium is found in gonads.

The glandular structure known as the clitellum is associated with reproduction.

Testis is the primary sex organ because it produces gametes (sperm) and secretes reproductive hormones. Scrotum, penis, and prostate are secondary or accessory sex organs that support reproduction but do not produce gametes.

Thyroid cartilage is the largest of the nine cartilages that make up the laryngeal skeleton, the cartilage structure in and around the trachea that contains the larynx.

It is a special part of the body that functions as an airway to the lungs as well as providing us with a way of communication.
