Question 1 of 5
Spasm of sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck causes:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Torticollis. Spasm of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck causes the head to tilt to one side and the chin to rotate to the opposite side, leading to a condition known as torticollis. Talipes equinovarus (A) is a foot deformity, cleft lip (C) is a congenital facial anomaly, and kyphosis (D) is an abnormal curvature of the spine. These conditions are not directly related to the spasm of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck.
Question 2 of 5
Inflammation of vertebra is
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Spondylitis refers to inflammation of the vertebrae, making it the correct choice. 2. Spondylolisthesis is the anterior displacement of a vertebra, not inflammation. 3. Spondylosis is degenerative changes in the spine, not inflammation. 4. Spondylopathy is a general term for any spinal disease, not specific to inflammation.
Question 3 of 5
When sexual feelings occur, it is important to
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it emphasizes the importance of consciously choosing to act responsibly when sexual feelings arise. This involves considering the consequences, respecting boundaries, and making informed decisions. Going to a quiet place to talk (B) may not address responsible actions. Exploring feelings and doing what feels best (C) may lead to impulsive or harmful choices. Seeing a doctor (D) is not necessary for regular sexual feelings. A conscious and responsible approach promotes healthy relationships and personal well-being.
Question 4 of 5
People lacking melanocytes are deaf. These cells function as part of:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: stria vascularis. Melanocytes are present in the stria vascularis of the cochlea, which is essential for maintaining the endocochlear potential and supporting the function of the hair cells. Without melanocytes, the stria vascularis cannot maintain the proper ion balance necessary for hearing, leading to deafness. A: Hair cells are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals and are not directly related to melanocytes. B: The modiolus is a bony structure in the cochlea that houses the spiral ganglion, which transmits signals from the hair cells to the brain. It is not directly involved with melanocytes. C: The spiral limbus is a structure in the cochlea that supports the organ of Corti and is not directly related to melanocytes.
Question 5 of 5
Which is a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Nocturia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, leading to urinary symptoms like frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia). Weight loss, bone pain, and fever are not typical signs of BPH. Nocturia is a common symptom due to the prostate gland pressing against the urethra, causing urinary retention. It is important to differentiate BPH symptoms from other potential causes to provide appropriate treatment.
