Explanation

• The breathing centre of human body is lungs.
• Lungs are two soft spongy large balloon like organ located in the chest.
• The delicate lungs are protected by a cage of bones. This cage is called the ribcage.

Explanation

The ability to perform alternating movements of the hands is referred to as Dysdiadochokinesia.

These movements can be quick and synchronous, including:

• pronation/supination

• foot tapping

Explanation

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that is well-known for its ototoxic effects

Potentially causing damage to the inner ear and leading to hearing loss or balance issues.

The other drugs listed are not typically associated with ototoxicity:

1. Contimycin: This appears to be a less commonly used or less well-known drug; assuming it refers to an antibioticIt is not generally recognized for ototoxicity.
2. Amoxicillin: This is a penicillin-type antibiotic and is not known to be ototoxic.
3. Erythromycin: This is a macrolide antibiotic and, it is not typically ototoxic.
4. Penicillin: This class of antibiotics is not associated with ototoxicity.

Explanation

Kluver-Bucy syndrome is typically associated with bilateral lesions of the amygdala.

This syndrome is characterized by a constellation of symptoms including:

• hyperorality (putting objects in the mouth)
• hypersexuality
• visual agnosia (difficulty recognizing objects visually)
• and changes in emotion, including placidity and loss of fear and aggression.

These symptoms result from damage to the amygdala, a part of the brain involved in emotional processing and memory consolidation.

Explanation

The inspiratory center is situated in the upper part of the medulla oblongata.

This area is crucial for regulating the rhythm of breathing.

It is composed of a group of neurons (the dorsal respiratory group).

While the centers in the pons assist in regulating and fine-tuning the breathing process

Explanation

Case-control studies are particularly efficient for rare diseases because

They begin by identifying a sufficient number of diseased people (or people have some "outcome" of interest) to enable you to do an analysis that tests associations.

Explanation

Carpus (bones of the wrist) is classified as short bone

Additional information:

Short bones are designated as those bones that are more or less equal in length, width, and thickness.

BCG vaccine is given at birth or as soon as possible thereafter.

It should not be given to children who have signs and symptoms of AIDS.

One dose of 0.05 ml.

If there is no scar at the injection site six weeks after a BCG immunization, the injection must be repeated.

This timing helps protect against tuberculosis (TB) in infants, as TB can be particularly severe in this age group.

Explanation

• Coronaviruses get their name from the crown-like shape of the viral particles, which have a distinctive "corona" or halo of protein spikes on their surface.
• These spikes give the virus its characteristic appearance under an electron microscope, resembling a crown or a halo.
• This is why the name "coronavirus" was chosen, as it reflects the virus's unique morphology.

Explanation

Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) can be contracted only if an individual consumes nerve tissues (brain and spine) of cattle infected with Mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, BSE).
