Which of the following two diseases together are referred to as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) or chronic obstructive airways disease?

  1. Acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis

  2. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema

  3. Tuberculosis and emphysema

  4. Tuberculosis and chronic bronchitis


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  1. Chronic bronchitis is a disease caused by the inflammation of bronchitis which secretes mucous leads to coughing and breathing difficulty and commonly observed in smokers.
  2. Emphysema is a disease in which alveolar sacs get damage which results in the deficiency in the amount of oxygen required by the body and its common cause is also smoking.
When these two diseases found together in a patient it is referred to as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) or chronic obstructive airways disease.
So the correct option is 'Chronic bronchitis and emphysema'.

Which of the following disease affects alveoli of lungs?

  1. Pneumonia

  2. Emphysema

  3. Asthma

  4. $(1)$ and $(2)$


Correct Option: A

Inflammation of the lung covering causing severe chest pain is

  1. Emphysema

  2. Pleurisy

  3. Asphyxia

  4. Hypoxia


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pleurisy involves inflammation of the tissue layers (pleura) lining the lungs and inner chest wall. Pleurisy is often associated with the accumulation of fluid between the two layers of pleura, known as pleural effusion. Symptoms of pleurisy include pain in the chest, which is aggravated by breathing in, shortness of breath, and local tenderness. The diagnosis of pleurisy is made by the characteristic chest pain and physical findings on examination of the chest. The pleural accumulation of fluid (pleural effusion) can be seen by imaging studies.

Match the columns and find out the correct combination.

  4. a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii

  5. a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii


Correct Option: D

Inflammatory condition of lungs is called

  1. coryza

  2. pneumonia

  3. laryngitis

  4. nasopharymgits


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Coryza is an inflammatory condition of the mucous membrane of the nose. Inflammatory condition of lungs is called pneumonia. Laryngitis is an inflammatory condition of larynx. Nasopharyngitis is the inflammatory condition of nose and pharynx.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Chemicals in cigarette smoke lead to the breakdown of the walls of the alveoli. What is the name given to this disease ?

  1. Bronchitis

  2. emphysema

  3. coronary heart disease

  4. lung cancer


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchi (large and medium-sized airways) in the lungs. Symptoms include coughing up mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort, such mainly occurs due to large consumption of smoke which leads to the breakdown of the walls of alveoli. 

So, 'the correct option is Bronchitis'.

Which of the following virus dosen't cause pneumonia ?

  1. adenovirus

  2. influenza virus

  3. respiratory syntitial virus

  4. rhino virus


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pneumonia is an infectious disease of lungs caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites or viruses. Viruses like adenoviruses, Varicella zoster virus, influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus cause pneumonia. 

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

How many statements are wrong about asthma?

(i) The respiratory surface is decreased.
(ii) The only cause of it is cigarette smoking.
(iii) Due to inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles.
(iv) Alveolar walls are damaged altogether.
(v) Difficulty in breathing causes wheezing.

  1. One

  2. Two

  3. Three

  4. Five


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In asthma:

(i) Respiratory surface is decreased.

(ii) Cigarette smoking is one of its causes. It can occur due to air pollution, dust allergies etc.

(iii) The symptoms of asthma begin with the inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles.

(iv) Alveolar walls are damaged in asthma

(v) Asthma results in difficulty in breathing, causing wheezing. Hence, only one statement is wrong. So, the correct answer is 'The only cause of it, is cigarette smoking'.

Which of the following is not a water borne disease?

  1. Asthma

  2. Cholera

  3. Amoebiasis

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cholera is the infection of the small intestine by some strains of the bacteria Vibrio cholerae. The bacteria are transmitted between humans through fecal-oral route, a bite of contaminated food or a sip of contaminated water.
Amoebiasis is an infection caused by the amoebas of the Entamoeba group. Amoebiasis can be transmitted by ingestion of water contaminated with feces containing amoebic cysts.
Asthma, however, cannot be transmitted from person to person.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Column I represent disease and column II represents their symptoms Choose the correctly paired option

Column I Column II
(P) Asthma (i) Recurring of bronchitis
(Q) Emphysema (ii) Accumulation of W.B.CS in alveolus
(R) Pneumonia (iii) Allergy
  1. P=ii, Q=ii, R=i

  2. P=iii, Q=i, R=ii

  3. P=ii, Q=iii, R=i

  4. P=ii, Q=i, R=iii


Correct Option: A

In which disease, due to narrowing of tracheal passages, alveoli are deprived of oxygen?

  1. Asthma

  2. Bronchitis

  3. Pneumonia

  4. Emphysema


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Asthma is a lung disorder in which the respiratory airways are narrowed due to inflammation and swelling. This causes the alveoli to become deprived of oxygen.

In BCG vaccine, BCG stands for.

  1. Bacillus Calmette Guerin

  2. Bacillus cocci guano

  3. Branched chronic glottis

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

BCG vaccine is provided to an individual to immunize against tuberculosis. It consists of antigenic molecules which invades the immune response.

A patient should use a ________ containing household germicide.

  1. Towel

  2. Spittoon

  3. Utensils

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It tends to infect the mucous layer of the lungs and causing lung infection. This results in invasion of alveoli releasing blood droplets along with cough. TB is communicable through droplet nuclei. Using spittoon with germicide would kill the bacteria of TB.

Maintaining personal hygiene is must to a TB patient.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Ambiguous

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It tends to infect the mucous layer of the lungs and causing lung infection. This results in invasion of alveoli releasing blood droplets along with cough. TB is communicable through droplet nuclei thus covering the mouth and maintaining hygienic condition is must.

During _________ blood particles are observed along with sputum or cough.

  1. Typhoid

  2. TB

  3. Hepatitis
