Which one of the following diseases is caused due to immunological disorder against an unknown antigen?

  1. Stroke

  2. Tuberculosis

  3. Rheumatic arthritis

  4. Multiple sclerosis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

  • Rheumatic arthritis is an example of an autoimmune disease that affects the joints.
  • The autoimmune diseases are generated due to the activity of the immune cells against the self-cells. 
  • The immune cells are not able to distinguish between the self and the non-self cells. 
  • There is no known antigen that can provoke the immune cells to show an immune response against the cells of the body. 
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Gout is a

  1. Deficiency disease

  2. Infectious disease

  3. Degenerative disease

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Gout is a clinical condition. 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. These attacks can happen over and over unless gout is treated. Over time, they can harm your joints, tendons and other tissues. Gout is most common in men. Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. Most of the time, having too much uric acid isn't harmful. Many people with high levels in their blood never get gout. But when uric acid levels in your blood are too high, the uric acid may form hard crystals in your joints. It's not a degenerative disease, infectious disease and deficiency disease. Thus, option D is correct.

Still disease is a type of

  1. Arthritis

  2. Rickets

  3. Sprain

  4. Osteoporosis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Still's disease is an inflammation of joints causing arthritis which produces symptoms such as fever, rash, and joint pains. If it is not treated, the inflammation may destroy joints particularly the wrist joints. Steroids are used in treating this rare disease.

So, the correct answer is 'Arthritis'

Read the given statements and select the correct option.
Statement 1 : Inflammation of a skeletal joint may immobilise the movements of the joint.
Statement 2 : This is caused due to uric acid crystals in the joint cavity and ossification of articular cartilage.

  1. Both statements 1 and 2 are correct.

  2. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.

  3. Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct.

  4. Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Both statements 1 & 2 are correct with respect to the skeletal joint.

So, the correct option is 'Both statements 1 and 2 are correct.'

Inflammation of synovial membrane produces

  1. Gout

  2. Rheumatoid arthritis

  3. Dislocation

  4. Osteoarthritis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease that particularly affects the synovial membrane of joints leading to excessive production of synovial fluid thereby stretching the joint capsule causing joint pains.
Osteoarthritis is an inflammation and damage of the articular cartilages of joints causing joint pains. It does not primarily affect the synovial membrane.
Gout or Hyperuricaemia is an excessive amount of uric acid in blood leading to the accumulation of urate crystals in the joints causing joint pains.
Dislocation of the joint is a condition where the bone slips out of the joint due to an injury.

So, the correct answer is 'Rheumatoid arthritis'.

Gout that leads to arthritis is associated with abnormality of

  1. Pyrimidine metabolism

  2. Purine metabolism

  3. Fat metabolism

  4. Protein metabolism
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Gout or Hyperuricaemia is a condition of increased uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is the end product of purine(Adenine, Guanine) metabolism in the body.
Any abnormality in the uric acid metabolism can lead to overproduction of uric acid and excessive uric acid in the blood can lead to accumulation of urate crystals in joints causing inflammation of joints/arthritis.
So, the correct answer is 'Purine metabolism'

Which of the following is due to irregularity in metabolism of nitrogenous waste?

  1. Osteoarthritis

  2. Rheumatoid arthritis

  3. Osteoporosis

  4. Gouty arthritis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Gouty arthritis is an inherited disorder of purine metabolism, occurring especially in men, gout is related to diet that giving rise to severe arthritis called gouty arthritis, a person suffering from gout should avoid meat. Purine is a nitrogenous waste.

So the correct answer is 'Gouty arthritis'.

Removal of parathyroids in human beings result in

  1. Tetany

  2. Simmond's disease

  3. Myxoedema

  4. Addison's disease
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Parathormone of parathyroid gland increases the blood calcium level. Removal of parathyroid gland decreases the blood calcium level due to its increased excretion in urine. It causes increased excitability of muscles and their sustained contraction referred to as parathyroid tetany. Myxedema is caused by hypothyroidism in adults while Addison’s disease is caused by the presence of ineffective ACTH. Simmond's disease is caused by the destruction of the anterior pituitary lobe. Thus, the correct answer is A.

The over-stretching of tendons and ligaments is called as

  1. Tonus

  2. Tetany

  3. Sprain

  4. Fatigue
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A sprain is an injury to the ligaments around a joint. Ligaments are strong, flexible fibers that hold bones together. When a ligament is stretched too far or tears, the joint will become painful and stress.
Tonus is the slight, continuous contraction of a muscle.
Tetany consists of the involuntary contraction of muscles.
Fatigue is the general overall feeling of tiredness and lack of energy.
So, the correct answer is option C.
