54538.The term 'Health' is defined in many ways.The most accurate definition of the health would be
health is the state of body and mind in a balanced condition
health is the reflection of a smiling face
health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being
health is the symbol of economic prosperity.
Explanation:
Health does not, simply mean 'absence of disease' or 'physical fitness'.Even if a person is physically fit,lack of mental or social wellbeing will not enable him to lead the quality life.

(iv) Small pox
(i) and (ii)
(ii) and (iii)
(iii) and (iv)
(ii) and (iv)
Explanation:
Influenza,commonly known as the 'flu' is an infectious disease of birds and mammals caused by influenza viruses.Smallpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the Variola virus.It get transmitted from a person to others by various means like sneeze,saliva, contaminated body fluids, etc.Cancer is a non-infectious disease caused by the agents called carcinogens.Allergy is the exaggerated response of the immune system to certain antigens in the environment (pollen, dust, mites, molds, cloth fibres, animal hair, etc). It is non-infectious in nature.

54542.The sporozoites that cause infection when a female Anopheles mosquito bites a human being are formed in
liver of human
RBCs of mosquito
salivary glands of mosquito
intestine of human
Explanation:
Sporozoites enter the female Anopheles mosquito when they bite an infected person where these sporozoite fertilise and multiply in the stomach wall of the female Anopheles and stored in the salivary gland of mosquito till it is again transferred to the human body by a mosquito bite.

Difficulty in respiration, fever, chills, cough and headache
Constipation, abdominal pain, cramps and blood clots
Nasal congestion and discharge, cough, sore throat and headache
High fever, weakness, stomach pain, loss of appetite and constipation.
Explanation:
Constipation, abdominal pain,cramps and blood clots are the symptoms of amoebiasis. Nasal congestion and discharge,cough,sore throat and headache are indicative of common cold.High fever,weakness,stomach pain,loss of appetite and constipation are the symptoms of typhoid.

54545.The genes causing cancer are
structural genes
expressor genes
oncogenes
regulatory genes
Explanation:
Normal cells have genes called cellular oncogens or proto-oncogenes which are present in inactivated state,but under certain conditions (like mutation) these get transformed to cancer causing oncogens which are active.On the other hand,structural genes,expressor gene and regulatory genes are responsible for regulation of gene expression.

54546. In malignant tumours, the cells proliferate, grow rapidly and move to other parts of the body to form new tumours. This stage of disease is called
metagenesis
metastasis
teratogenesis
mitosis
Explanation:
Metastas is Cancer is defined as an uncontrolled division or proliferation of cells without any differentiation. Repeated division of cells form a large mass of tissue called tumours. Tumours are of two types; benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous).The invasion of cancerous cells (in malignant tumours)from one part to the other parts of body is called metastasis,while metagenesis is the alteration of generation. Tetragenesis is a prenatal toxicity characterised by structural,functional defects in the developing embryo or fetus.Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells.

54547.When an apparently healthy person is diagnosed as unhealthy by a psychiatrist, the reason could be that
the patient was not efficient at his work
the patient was not economically prosperous
the patient shows behavioural and social maladjustment
he does not take interest in sports
Explanation:
Health can be defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well being. So, when an apparently healthy person is diagnosed as unhealthy by a psychiatrist,the reason could be that the patient shows behavioural and social maladjustment.

54548.Which of the following are the reason(s) for rheumatoid arthritic? Choose the correct option.
i.Lymphocytes become more active ii.Body attacks self cells iii.More antibodies are produced in the body iv.The ability to differentiate pathogens or foreign molecules from self cells is lost
i.Lymphocytes become more active ii.Body attacks self cells iii.More antibodies are produced in the body iv.The ability to differentiate pathogens or foreign molecules from self cells is lost
(i) and (ii)
(ii) and (iv)
(iii) and (iv)
(i) and (iii)
Explanation:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the joints and causes pain.Autoimmunity is an abnormal immune response in which the immune system of the body loses its ability to differentiate between pathogen or foreign molecules from self cell and attack self-cells.This results in damage to the body.While if any foreign antigen enters into body the lymphocytes become more active and produce more antibodies in its response in the body.

Transfusion of contaminated blood
Sharing the infected needles

Explanation:
HIV is transmitted through exchange of body fluids. This is not involved during shaking hands.

54550.'Smack' is a drug obtained from the
latex of Papaver somniferum
leaves of Cannabis saliva
flowers of Dhatura pinata

54551.The substance roduced by a cell in viral infection that can protect other cells from further infection is
serotonin
colostrum
interferon
histamine
Explanation:
Interferons are the proteins secreted by virus infected cells, which protect non-infected cells from further viral infection.Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that leads to depression.Colostrum is present in the lactating mother's breast milkand contains antibodies which protect the newborn against disease.Histamineis also a neurotransmitter involved in inflammatory response.

54552. Transplantation of tissues/organs to save certain patients often fails due to rejection of such tissues/organs by the patient.Which type of immune response is responsible for such rejections?
Auto-immune response
Humoral immune response
Physiological immune response
Cell-mediated immune response
Explanation:
Transplantation is the replacement of a diseased organ or tissue of an individual with healthy organ or tissue of same or another individual .These transplants or graft gets rejected if it is recognised as foreign antigen by the body's immune systems.Cell mediated immune response, mediated by T-lymphocyte is able to differentiate between self and non-self cells/organ.This type of immune response recognises the body's non-cells or other tissue or organs from other individual as foreign antigen and cause rejection of the graft.

IgG type
IgA type
IgD type
IgE type
Explanation:
The yellowish fluidcolostrum is secreted by mother during the initial days of lactation has abundant antibodies (IgA) to protect the infant from several diseases.IgG immunoglobulin (antibody) is most abundant (appro .80%) antibody in human and found in serum IgA is second abundant (approx .10-15%) antibody. It is found in saliva and tear also. IgD and IgE constitute 2-3% of total antibodies which are found in most cells and serum.

54554.Tobacco consumption is known to stimulate secretion of drenaline and noradrenaline. The component causing this could be.
nicotine
tannic acid
curaimin
catechine
Explanation:
Tobacco has nicotine, which stimulates the adrenal gland to release adrenaline and noradrenaline which in turn increases the blood pressure and heart rate.On the other hand, tannic acid is a type of polyphenol used as a mordant,curaimin,obtained from cureumin in a pain releiver and catechine derived from catechu is an antioxidant.

Explanation:
Snake anti-venom is a biological product that typically consists of venom neutralising antibodies derived from a host animal,such as a horse or sheep,it is not considered as antigen,antigen-antibody complex or enzyme.

54556.Which of the following is not a lymphoid tissue?
Spleen
Tonsils
Appendix
Thymus
Explanation:
Lymphoid organs are the organs where origin and/or maturation and propagation of lymphocytes occur.Appendix is sometime not considered as the lymphoid organ, as it has been proposed to be a vestigial structure connected to the cecum, located near the junction of the small intestine and the large intestine.

Pineal
Pituitary
Thymus
Thyroid
Explanation:
Thymus is quite large at the time of birth but keeps reducing in size with age and by the time puberty is attained,it gets reduced to a very small size.While the size of pineal gland (located at brain),pituitary gland(in brain),thyroid (located in front of neck)remains constant in size since birth.
