73. A CORONARY OCCLUSION CAUSING A CONDITION THAT PRODUCES CHEST PAIN WHICH MAY RADIATE TO THE LEFT ARM, SHOULDER, JAW OR NECK DUE TO LACK OF BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE HEART IS CALLED?

Explanation

Angina pectoris is the correct answer because it is a condition caused by a coronary occlusion, which refers to the blockage or narrowing of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. This blockage leads to a lack of blood supply and oxygen to the heart muscle, resulting in chest pain. The pain may also radiate to the left arm, shoulder, jaw, or neck. Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis are conditions that involve the hardening and narrowing of the arteries, but they are not specific to chest pain or lack of blood supply to the heart. Hypertension, on the other hand, refers to high blood pressure and is not directly related to a coronary occlusion.

Submit
74. INFLAMMATION OF THE NASAL MUCOSA RESULTS IN?

Explanation

Inflammation of the nasal mucosa refers to rhinitis. Rhinitis is a condition characterized by the inflammation and irritation of the nasal passages, leading to symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, and congestion. It can be caused by various factors such as allergies, infections, or irritants. Nasal polyps are growths that can develop in the nasal passages but are not directly related to inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses, which can be a result of rhinitis. Pleurisy, on the other hand, is inflammation of the lining of the lungs and chest cavity and is unrelated to the nasal mucosa.

Submit
75. DEOXYGENATED BLOOD ENTERS THE RIGHT ATRIUM OF THE?

Explanation

Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium of the heart. The right atrium receives blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava. From the right atrium, the blood is then pumped into the right ventricle and then to the lungs for oxygenation. Therefore, the correct answer is HEART.

Submit
76. THE SPHENOID BONE IS LOCATED IN THE?

Explanation

The sphenoid bone is a complex bone located in the head. It is situated at the base of the skull, in the middle cranial fossa. The sphenoid bone is butterfly-shaped and forms part of the cranial floor. It articulates with several other bones in the skull, including the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital bones. The sphenoid bone houses important structures such as the pituitary gland and forms the back wall of the eye sockets.

Submit
77. INFLAMMATION OF THE GALLBLADDER IS CALLED?

Explanation

Cholecystitis is the correct answer because it refers to the inflammation of the gallbladder. The term "chole-" refers to the gallbladder, and "-cytitis" refers to inflammation. Cystitis refers to the inflammation of the bladder, not the gallbladder. Colitis refers to the inflammation of the colon, and diverticulitis refers to the inflammation of the diverticula in the colon. Therefore, cholecystitis is the most appropriate term for inflammation of the gallbladder.

Submit
78. INFLAMMATION OF THE PLEURA IS CALLED?

Explanation

Pleurisy is the inflammation of the pleura, which is the thin membrane that lines the chest cavity and surrounds the lungs. It is characterized by sharp chest pain that worsens with deep breathing or coughing. Pneumonia is an infection in the lungs, atelectasis is the collapse of lung tissue, and pleural effusion is the buildup of fluid in the pleural space. Therefore, pleurisy is the correct answer as it specifically refers to inflammation of the pleura.

Submit
79. THE SCIENCE OF THE FUNCTION OF CELLS, TISSUES, AND ORGANS OF THE BODY IS CALLED?

Explanation

Physiology is the study of the function of cells, tissues, and organs in the body. It focuses on how these structures work together to maintain homeostasis and carry out various biological processes. This field of science helps us understand the mechanisms behind different bodily functions and how they are regulated. Anatomy, on the other hand, is the study of the structure of these body parts. Histology is the study of tissues, while gross anatomy refers to the study of structures visible to the naked eye.

Submit
80. WHEN THE RIGHT ATRIUM CONTRACTS IT FORCES BLOOD THROUGH THE TRICUSPID VALVE INTO THE __________ VENTRICLE?

Explanation

When the right atrium contracts, it forces blood through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.

Submit
81. BRANCHES OF THE BUNDLE BRANCHES, WHICH TRANSMIT THE IMPULSES TO THE WALLS OF THE VENTRICLES, CAUSING THE VENTRICLES TO CONTRACT ARE CALLED?

Explanation

Purkinje fibers are specialized cardiac muscle fibers that are responsible for transmitting electrical impulses to the walls of the ventricles, causing them to contract. These fibers are located in the subendocardial layer of the ventricles and are an important part of the electrical conduction system of the heart. The Bundle of His, left bundle branches, and right bundle branches are also part of the conduction system, but they primarily transmit the electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles, rather than directly causing ventricular contraction.

Submit
82. AN ACCUMULATION OF AIR IN THE PLEURAL CAVITY AFTER THE LUNGS COLLAPSE IS KNOWN AS?

Explanation

Pneumothorax refers to the accumulation of air in the pleural cavity after the lungs collapse. This condition occurs when air leaks from the lung into the pleural space, causing the lung to collapse partially or completely. It can be caused by trauma, underlying lung diseases, or medical procedures. Symptoms of pneumothorax include sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, and decreased breath sounds on the affected side. Prompt medical attention is necessary to relieve the pressure on the lung and prevent further complications.

Submit
83. ONE OF THE VITAL FUNCTIONS OF LONG BONES IS THE FORMATION OF?

Explanation

Long bones, such as femur and humerus, contain bone marrow which is responsible for the production of red blood cells. Red blood cells are essential for carrying oxygen to different parts of the body. Therefore, the formation of red blood cells is a vital function of long bones.

Submit
84. THE DIVISIONS OF THE TRACHEA WHICH ENTER THE LUNGS ARE CALLED THE?

Explanation

The divisions of the trachea that enter the lungs are called bronchi. The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is a tube-like structure that connects the larynx to the bronchi. The trachea divides into two bronchi, one leading to each lung, which further divide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. The bronchi are responsible for carrying air from the trachea into the lungs, allowing for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Submit
85. ESCAPE OF FLUID INTO THE THORACIC CAVITY IS CALLED?

Explanation

Pleural effusion is the correct answer because it refers to the escape of fluid into the thoracic cavity. When there is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space, it can cause symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and coughing. Pulmonary edema, emphysema, and pneumonia are not specifically related to the escape of fluid into the thoracic cavity, making them incorrect choices.

Submit
86. A UNILATERAL PARALYSIS THAT FOLLOWS DAMAGE TO THE BRAIN IS CALLED?

Explanation

Unilateral paralysis refers to paralysis that affects only one side of the body. Hemiplegia specifically refers to the paralysis of one side of the body that occurs as a result of damage to the brain. This can be caused by a stroke, brain injury, or other neurological conditions. Quadruplegia refers to paralysis of all four limbs, paraplegia refers to paralysis of the lower half of the body, and sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve. None of these terms accurately describe unilateral paralysis following brain damage.

Submit
87. A GALLBLADDER DISORDER INVOLVING STONES IN THE GALLBLADDER IS?

Explanation

Cholelithiasis refers to the presence of gallstones in the gallbladder. Gallstones are formed when there is an imbalance in the substances that make up bile, leading to the formation of solid particles. These stones can cause blockage in the gallbladder or in the bile ducts, resulting in symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and jaundice. Cholelithiasis is a common gallbladder disorder and can be managed through medication or surgical removal of the gallbladder.

Submit
88. THE SMALLER OF THE LOWER LEG BONES IS CALLED?

Explanation

The smaller of the lower leg bones is called the fibula. The fibula is located on the outer side of the lower leg and runs parallel to the tibia. It is a slender bone that helps provide support and stability to the leg. The tibia, on the other hand, is the larger and stronger bone of the lower leg and is responsible for bearing most of the body's weight. The patella is the kneecap, while the femur is the thigh bone and is not considered part of the lower leg.

Submit
89. THE MAJOR VEIN THAT DRAINS THE HEAD & BRAIN IS CALLED THE?

Explanation

The jugular vein is the major vein that drains the head and brain. It carries deoxygenated blood from the brain back to the heart. The vertebral vein drains blood from the cervical vertebrae and spinal cord. The cephalic vein is located in the arm and drains blood from the upper limb. The ulnar vein is also located in the arm and drains blood from the forearm and hand. Therefore, the jugular vein is the correct answer as it specifically drains the head and brain.

Submit
90. CHRONIC INFLAMMATION OF THE COLON IS CALLED?

Explanation

Chronic inflammation of the colon is called colitis.

Submit
91. THE SECOND PORTION OF THE SMALL INTESTINE IS CALLED THE?

Explanation

The second portion of the small intestine is called the jejunum. The small intestine is divided into three parts: the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. The jejunum is located between the duodenum and the ileum. It is responsible for the absorption of nutrients from digested food into the bloodstream. The jejunum has a larger diameter and a thicker wall compared to the duodenum, allowing for increased absorption of nutrients.

Submit
92. THE MAJOR ARTERY THAT SUPPLIES THE ABDOMEN IS CALLED THE __________ ARTERY?

Explanation

The correct answer is CELIAC. The celiac artery is the major artery that supplies blood to the abdomen. It branches off from the abdominal aorta and provides blood to the stomach, liver, spleen, and other abdominal organs. It plays a crucial role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to these organs, ensuring their proper functioning. The carotid artery supplies blood to the head and neck, the brachial artery supplies blood to the arm, and the iliac artery supplies blood to the pelvis and lower limbs.

Submit
93. THE MAJOR VEIN THAT DRAINS THE UPPER ARM IS CALLED THE?

Explanation

The correct answer is BRACHIAL. The brachial vein is the major vein that drains the upper arm. It is responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the arm back to the heart. The jugular vein is not located in the upper arm, but in the neck. The cephalic vein is also present in the upper arm, but it is not the major vein that drains the arm. The femoral vein is located in the thigh, not the upper arm.

Submit
94. THE MAJOR ARTERY THAT SUPPLIES THE THORAX IS CALLED THE __________ ARTERY?

Explanation

The major artery that supplies the thorax is called the intercostal artery. This artery runs between the ribs and supplies blood to the muscles and tissues of the chest wall. It is an important artery for maintaining proper blood flow and oxygenation to the thoracic region. The renal artery supplies blood to the kidneys, the radial artery supplies blood to the forearm, and the aorta is the main artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

Submit
95. WASHING OUT OF THE STOMACH THROUGH A NASOGASTRIC TUBE IS CALLED?

Explanation

Lavage is the correct answer because it refers to the process of washing out the stomach through a nasogastric tube. This procedure is commonly performed to remove toxins, medications, or other substances from the stomach. Gavage, on the other hand, refers to the process of feeding a person or animal through a tube inserted into the stomach. Therefore, the correct term for washing out the stomach through a nasogastric tube is lavage.

Submit
96. IF THE SEPTUM OF THE HEART HAS AN ABNORMAL OPENING IT IS REFERRED TO AS?

Explanation

A septal defect refers to an abnormal opening in the septum of the heart. The septum is the wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart. When there is a defect in this wall, it can cause blood to flow between the two sides of the heart, which can lead to various complications. Stenosis refers to a narrowing of a blood vessel or valve, phlebitis refers to inflammation of a vein, and a heart murmur refers to an abnormal sound heard during a heartbeat, none of which specifically relate to an abnormal opening in the septum of the heart.

Submit
97. ONE OF THE ARTERIES THAT SUPPLIES THE HAND & FOREARM IS CALLED THE?

Explanation

The correct answer is ULNAR. The ulnar artery is one of the main arteries that supplies blood to the hand and forearm. It runs along the ulna bone in the forearm and provides oxygenated blood to the muscles and tissues of the hand and forearm.
