endocrine gland
about the size
of a pea
and weighing 0.5 grams in humans.
It is a protrusion off the bottom of the
hypothalamus
at the base of the
brain, and
rests in a small, bony cavity covered by a
dural
fold.
The pituitary gland is
functionally connected to
the hypothalamus
by
the
median eminence
via a
small tube called the
infundibular stem.

SpleenSpleen•
The
spleen
is an
organ
found in
virtually all
vertebrate
animals. Similar in structure to a large
lymph node, it acts
primarily as a blood filter—so it is possible to
remove the
spleen
without jeopardizing life.
•
The spleen plays important roles in regard to
red blood cells
and
the
immune system.
•
It removes old red blood cells and holds a reserve of blood in case of hemorrhagic shock
and also
recycles
iron.

PlateletPlateletPlatelets, or
thrombocytes, are small, disk shaped clear cell
fragments (i.e. cells that do not have a
nucleus), 2–3
μm in
diameter,
which are derived from fragmentation of
precursor
megakaryocytes.
The average lifespan of a platelet is normally just 5 to 9 days.
Platelets are a natural source of
growth factors. They circulate
in the
blood
of
mammals
and are involved in hemostasis,
leading to the formation of
blood clots.
If the number of platelets is too low, excessive
bleeding
can
occur. However, if the number of platelets is too high, blood clots can form, which may obstruct blood vessels and result in such events as a
stroke,
myocardial infarction,
pulmonary
embolism
or the blockage of blood vessels to other parts of the
body, such as the extremities of the arms or legs.

Complex VitaminsComplex Vitamins
Eight of the water-soluble vitamins are known as the vitamin B -
complex group: thiamin (vitamin B1),
riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), folate
(folic acid), vitamin B12, biotin
and pantothenic
acid.
The ‘B’
vitamins are widely distributed in foods and their influence is felt in many parts of the body. They function as coenzymes that help the body obtain energy from food. The ‘B’
vitamins are also important
for normal appetite, good vision, and healthy skin, nervous system, and red blood cell formation.

Anthocyanins
are
water-

vacuolar
pigments
that may appear red, purple, or blue depending on the
pH.
•
They belong to a parent class of molecules called
flavonoids
synthesized via the
phenylpropanoid

CollagenCollagenCollagen
is a group of naturally occurring
proteins
found in animals,
especially in the flesh and connective tissues
of
vertebrates. It is the
main component of
connective tissue, and is the most abundant
protein in mammals,
making up about 25% to 35% of the whole-
body protein content.
Collagen, in the form of elongated
fibrils, is mostly found in
fibrous
tissues
such as tendon, ligament and skin, and is also abundant in
cornea, cartilage, bone, blood vessels, the gut, and intervertebral
disc.
The
fibroblast
is the most common cell which creates collagen.
Vitamin C deficiency causes
scurvy, a serious and painful
disease
in
which defective collagen prevents the formation of strong connective tissue.
Gums
deteriorate and bleed, with loss of teeth; skin discolors,
and
wounds
do not heal.

•
Vitamin B-12
also called
cobalamin, is a water-soluble
vitamin
with a key role in the normal functioning of
the
brain

It is one of the eight

affecting
DNA
synthesis and regulation, but also
fatty
acid

The
Effective Arterial Blood Volume
(EABV) is that
extra cellular
fluid
(ECF) which fills the arterial system.
The
circulatory system
is vital for sustaining
life. Its proper
functioning is responsible for the delivery of

the maintenance of optimum

In

leading causes of death, myocardial
infarction
(heart attack), and
stroke, may each directly result from
an arterial system that has been slowly and progressively compromised by years of deterioration.

Risk factorsRisk factors•
Weight.
•
Fat distribution.
•
Inactivity.
The less active you are, the greater your risk of type 2
diabetes. Physical activity helps you control your weight, uses up glucose as energy and makes your cells more sensitive to insulin.
•
Family history.
The risk of type 2 diabetes increases if your parent
or sibling has type 2 diabetes.
•
Race.
Although it's unclear why, people of certain races —
including blacks, Hispanics, American Indians and Asian-
Americans —
are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than
whites are.
•
Age.
The risk of type 2 diabetes increases as you get older,
especially after age 45. That's probably because people tend to exercise less, lose muscle mass and gain weight as they age.

Types of DiabetesTypes of DiabetesThere are three main types of diabetes mellitus (DM).
Type
1 DM
results from the body's failure to produce insulin, and
currently requires the person to inject insulin or wear an insulin pump. This form was previously referred to as "insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" (IDDM) or "juvenile diabetes".
Type
2 DM
results from
insulin resistance, a condition in which cells
fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency. This form was previously referred to as non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or "adult-onset diabetes".
The third main form,
gestational diabetes
occurs when pregnant
women without a previous diagnosis of diabetes develop a high blood glucose level. It may precede development of type
2 DM.

HypertensionHypertensionHypertension
(HTN) or
high blood pressure, sometimes called
arterial
hypertension, is a
chronic
medical condition
in which the
blood
pressure
in the
arteries
is elevated.
This requires the heart to work harder than normal to circulate blood through the blood vessels.
Blood pressure is summarised
by two
measurements,
systolic
and
diastolic, which depend on whether the
heart muscle is contracting (systole) or relaxed between beats (diastole) and equate to a maximum and minimum pressure, respectively.
Normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100-140mmHg systolic (top reading) and 60-90mmHg diastolic (bottom reading). High blood pressure is said to be present if it is persistently at or above 140/90
mmHg.

CHIKV infection causes an illness with symptoms similar to
dengue fever, with an acute febrile
phase of the illness
lasting only two to five days, followed by a prolonged
arthralgic
disease that affects the joints of the
extremities.
The pain associated with CHIKV infection of the joints persists for weeks or months or in some cases years.

is an
inflammatory
condition of the
lung
—
affecting primarily the microscopic air sacs known as
alveoli.
It is usually caused by infection with
viruses

bacteria
and less

microorganisms, certain
drugs
and other
conditions such as autoimmune diseases.
Typical symptoms include a
cough,
chest pain,
fever,
and
difficulty breathing.
Vaccines
to prevent certain types of pneumonia are available.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Presumed bacterial pneumonia is treated with
antibiotics. If the
pneumonia is severe, the affected person is generally admitted to hospital.

Answer : C
Visual acuity
(VA) is acuteness or clearness of
vision, which is dependent
on the sharpness of the retinal focus within the
eye
and the sensitivity of
the interpretative faculty of the brain.
![Page 151: Quiz on health](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/558722ded8b42aed398b457e/html5/thumbnails/151.jpg)
•
Normal visual acuity is commonly referred to as
20/20 vision,
the metric equivalent of which is 6/6 vision.
•
In an
eye exam, lenses of varying powers are used to precisely
correct for
refractive errors. English alphabet letters are
typically used as most people will recognise
them.
•
If person visual acuity is
20/40,
the 20 is the distance in feet
between the subject and the chart. The 40 means that the subject can read the chart (from 20 feet away) as well as a normal person could read the same chart from 40 feet away.
•
This is calculated by finding the smallest
optotype
they can
identify and calculating the distance at which it has a
visual
angle
of 5
arcminutes.
