    What is the meaning of Atrophy?

    • Fever-Inducing Agent

    • Metallic Poison

    • Decrease In Tissue Size

    • Mental Confusion

    Correct Answer
    A. Decrease In Tissue Size
    Explanation
    Atrophy refers to the decrease in tissue size. It is a medical term used to describe the wasting away or shrinkage of a body part or tissue due to a lack of use, injury, or disease. This can occur in muscles, organs, or any other part of the body. Atrophy is often associated with aging or prolonged immobility, and it can lead to weakness and loss of function in the affected area. Therefore, the correct answer is "Decrease In Tissue Size."

    Which of the following is the part of the Ketosis?

    • Harmful Ketone Increase

    • Potassium Insufficiency

    • Sodium Insufficiency

    • Irritation Of the Nose

    Correct Answer
    A. Harmful Ketone Increase
    Explanation
    Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body starts using stored fat as its primary source of energy instead of carbohydrates. During this process, ketones are produced as a byproduct. However, if the production of ketones exceeds the body's ability to utilize them, it can lead to harmful ketone increase. This can be dangerous and result in a condition called ketoacidosis. Therefore, harmful ketone increase is a part of ketosis, but it is important to maintain a balance to avoid any negative health effects.

    • Excess Blood Sugar

    Correct Answer
    A. Excess Blood Calcium
    Explanation
    Hypercalcemia refers to a medical condition characterized by an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood. It occurs when there is an imbalance between the amount of calcium absorbed from the intestines and the amount excreted by the kidneys. This condition can result from various factors such as overactive parathyroid glands, certain medications, vitamin D disorders, or underlying medical conditions like cancer. Symptoms of hypercalcemia may include fatigue, nausea, constipation, excessive thirst, and confusion. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and may include medications, fluids, or other interventions to lower blood calcium levels.
