Questions Related to locomotion and movements

Select the correct statement with respect to locomotion in human:

  1. The joint between adjacent vertebrae is a fibrous joint

  2. A decreased level of progesterone cause osteoporosis in old people

  3. Accumalation of uric acid crystals in joints cause their inflammation

  4. The vertebral column has $10$ thoracic vertebrae


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Locomotion is the process of movement of an organism from one place to another.

  • The fibrous joint is a fixed joint and is present in the bones of the skull while the synovial joint is present in the bones of the vertebrae making it movable.
  • Progestrone is a hormone responsible for the menstruation cycle and pregnancy.
  • The process of accumulation of the uric acid in the form of crystals at the place of joints causes inflammation and joint pain, this condition is termed as gout.
  • The vertebral column has 33 vertebrae out of which 27 presacral vertebrae, 7 cervical, 12 thorasic, and 5 lumbar vertebrae are found.

So, the correct option is 'Accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints cause their inflammation'

How many statements are correct regarding Rheumatoid arthritis?


(a) Caused due to activation of Rheumatic factor IgG type antibody
(b) Synovial joints are affected
(c) Pannus particles are formed by articular cartilage
(d) Rheumatic factor is activated by recurrent E.coli infection
(e) Articular cartilage is damaged by pannus particles.

  1. One

  2. Two

  3. Three

  4. Four


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Answer is C. Three

A In rheumatoid arthritis an antibody against the Fc portion of IgG and different RFs can recognize different parts of the IgG-Fc. RF and IgG join to form immune complexes that contribute to the disease process.
B. The synovial membrane produces synovial fluid – a clear fluid that lubricates and nourishes the joint. Rheumatoid arthritis can affect any joint in the body but usually affects the small joints in the hands and feet before any of the larger joints such as hips, knees, shoulders and elbows are affected.
E.pannus — an abnormal tissue growth in the joints. This tissue can spread to your bones and cartilage, causing cartilage destruction, bone deterioration, pain, and inflammation.

Which of the following statements are true regarding gout disease?

  1.  Gout occurs when urate crystals accumulate in joint.

  2. Drinking alcohol of any type can trigger a gout attack

  3.  Uric acid can build up, forming sharp, needle like urate crystals in a joint or surrounding tissue that cause pain

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gout is a type of arthritis, the disease caused by the disorder of uric acid metabolism in which uric acid crystals are accumulated in joints, tendons and surrounding tissues which leads to inflammation and pain.
Symptoms of gout include severe pain, redness and swelling in joints, often the big toe.
Drinking alcohol of any type can trigger a gout attack because drinking alcohol leads to accumulation of uric acid crystals in the body.
So, the correct option is 'All the above'

Secretion of abnormal pannus is seen in which of the following abnormalities?

  1. Rheumatoid arthritis

  2. Gout

  3. Osteoporosis

  4. Osteo arthritis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that mainly effect joints. It typically results in warm, swollen and painful joints. Secretion of abnormal granules pannus is seen in this disease.
So the correct option is 'Rheumatoid arthritis'.

Gout is due to accumulation of

  1. Uric acid

  2. Calcium carbonate

  3. Oxalic acid

  4. Lactic acid


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Gout is a metabolic disease in which crystals of uric acid gets deposited in joints, tendons and surrounding soft tissues.
  • Symptoms of gout increase irritation, inflammation of joins and tendon tissue, joints become hot red and swollen.
  • Hence gout is due to accumulation of uric disease.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Uric acid'.

Which is not a mental disorder?

  1. Gout

  2. Epilepsy

  3. Neurosis

  4. Psychosis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Gout is a kind of arthritis. It can cause an attack of sudden burning pain, stiffness and swelling in a joint, usually a big toe.
Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain becomes disrupted.
Neurosis is a class of functional mental disorders involving distress but neither delusions nor hallucinations.
Psychosis is a serious mental disorder characterized by ' a loss of contact with reality'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Arthritis is a disease of the inflammations of the

  1. Joint

  2. Blood vessel

  3. Brain

  4. Intestine


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Arthritis is a form of joint disorder that involves the inflammation of one or more joints.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

In human beings, gout is caused by

  1. Deficiency of iodine

  2. Excessive secretion of thyroid

  3. Excessive liberation of uric acid

  4. Deposition of uric acid


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gout is an inherited type of disorder in which body forms the excess amount of uric acid and the crystals of sodium urate that are deposited in the synovial joints and makes movement difficult, it generally affects one or two joints only, the occurrence of gout is related with diet.

So the correct answer is 'Deposition of uric acid'.

Deposition of monosodium urate causes

  1. Gout

  2. Arthritis

  3. Hypertension

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Gout is a metabolic disease in which crystals of uric acid (Monosodium urate) gets deposited in joints, tendons and surrounding soft tissues.
  • Diagnosis includes sudden onset of severe pains, swelling and redness of the joint in great toe of the foot, swelling of joints of the foot, ankle and hands, history of alcohol or red meat intake a day prior to painful attacks.
  • Hence deposition of uric acid in the joints causes gout.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Uric acid'.

Uric acid gets deposited in small joints to produce

  1. Rheumatoid arthritis

  2. Gout

  3. Osteoarthritis

  4. Bursitis


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Rheumatoid arthritis- It is a chronic painful inflammation of the synovial membranes of many joints simultaneously.
  • Gout- Accumulation of uric acid and crystals of sodium urate in synovial joints that cause inflammation and makes movement difficult is called gout.
  • Osteoarthritis- It is the secretion of lubricating synovial fluid between the bones at the joint stops.
  • Bursitis- It is the inflammation of the bursae present in the joints caused by physical injury or constant pressure on a particular joint for a long time.
So the correct answer is 'Gout'.
