Question 1
1 / -0

An alcoholic male develops

A
Impotence

B
Early sexual maturity

C
Increased appetite

D
Both B and C

Solution

Alcohol can cause infertility in men. It lowers the amount of testosterone which is male sex hormone. Testosterone is secreted from Leydig cells of testis. It stimulates development of secondary sex organs and sexual characters. It also promotes spermatogenesis i.e. formation of sperms from germ cells. Low levels of testosterone causes low sperm count which leads to failure in conception by females. Hence, alcohol can cause infertility or impotence in males.
So, the correct answer is 'Impotence'.

A
Alteration in perception, thoughts and feelings

B
Depressed brain activity and feeling of calmness

C
Suppressed brain function and relief in pain

D
Stimulation of nervous system, increased alertness and activity

Solution

Many hallucinogenic products are obtained from Cannabis plant such as Bhang, Ganja, Charas and Marijuana. These are obtained from different parts of Cannabis plant. For example, bhang is obtained from fresh and dried leaves and flowering shoots of both male and female plants. Hallucinogenic drugs are also called psychedelic drugs.

State of hallucination

B
Suppression of brain activity

C
Loss of memory

Cirrhosis of liver

Solution

Consumption of alcohol can cause cirrhosis in liver, a disease in which permanent damage occurs to liver. Cirrhosis is a degenerative disease of liver in which liver gradually hardens and dries up as its cells are replaced by fibrous tissue. The scar tissue builds up in the liver and this leads to change in structure of liver which blocks the blood flow. Cirrhosis can cause varicose veins which can rupture and cause to internal bleeding. Consuming too much alcohol ultimately leads to liver failure.
So, the correct answer is 'Cirrhosis of liver'.

A
Cerebellum

B
Pons varolli

The will power and self control of the person gets reduced. Control over emotions and moral sense also gets reduced. Loss of muscle coordination also occurs as cerebellum is affected. As a result, speech becomes incoherent. Inflammation of axons also occur which causes neuritis.
So, the correct answer is 'Cerebellum'.

A
Erythroxylon

B

Tapeworm infection occurs amongst vegetarians through

A
Air

B
Raw or undercooked, vegetable

C
Soil

D
Contamination of water

Solution

Cestoda is a class of parasitic tapeworms belonging to phylum Platyhelminthes. Their bodies consist of many similar units, known as proglottids, which are essentially packages of eggs which are regularly shed into the environment to infect other organisms. Humans are subject to infection by several species of tapeworms if they eat undercooked meat, beef, and fish, or raw or undercooked vegetables or if they live in poor hygienic conditions. Hence, tapeworm infection occurs amongst vegetarians through raw or undercooked vegetable.
So, the correct answer is 'Raw or undercooked vegetable'.
Question 7
1 / -0

Common roundworm infecting human beings is

A
Ascaris lumbricoides

B
Enterobius vermicularis

C
Ankylostoma duodenale

D
Wuchereria bancrofti

Solution

Ascaris lumbricoides is the large roundworm infecting human beings. It is the most common roundworm infecting humans. It is responsible for ascariasis disease. An estimated one-sixth of the human population is infected by Ascaris lumbricoides. The mode of transmission of disease in humans is via the faecal-oral route. Eggs released by adult females are shed in faeces. So, the correct answer is 'Ascaris lumbricoides'.
Question 8
1 / -0

Roundworm infection can be generally detected by

A
Stool test

B
Allergy test

C
X- Ray

D
All of the above

Solution

Ascariasis is one of the most common roundworm infection caused by Ascaris lumbricoides. The roundworm infection can be detected by identifying the appearance of the worm or eggs in faeces by a stool test. Due to a large number of eggs laid, physicians can diagnose using only one or two faecal smears. The diagnosis is usually incidental when the host passes a worm in the stool or vomit. So, the correct answer is 'Stool test'.
Question 9
1 / -0

Tapeworm is attached to the intestinal wall by means of

A
Strobila

B
Hooks and suckers present on scolex

C
Rostellum alone

D
Suckers alone

Solution

Tapeworms are flat, segmented parasites. Typically, they attach themselves to a host's intestinal walls and feed off the host's food. The medical term for parasitic infection of tapeworms in humans is taeniasis. Taeniasis can develop into cysticercosis, which is an infection of the tissue. An adult tapeworm attaches to the small intestine by using the suckers and hooks located in its head region, or scolex.
So, the correct answer is 'Hooks and suckers present on scolex'.
Question 10
1 / -0

Tapeworm occurs inside

A
Rectum

B
Stomach

C
Intestine

D
Liver

Solution

Tapeworm infection is caused by ingesting food or water contaminated with eggs of tapeworm or larva. If a person is infected with larva of tapeworm, they develop into adult tapeworms in the intestines (intestinal infection). An adult tapeworm consists of a head, neck and chain of segments called proglottids. The tapeworm head adheres to the intestinal wall, and the proglottids grow and produce eggs. Adult tapeworms can live for up to 30 years in a host.
So, the correct answer is 'Intestine'.
