A. Dermatitis and diarrhea
B. Bowed legs and soft bones
C. Bleeding gums and poor wound healing
D. Anemia and fatigue

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Rickets, caused by vitamin D deficiency, results in impaired mineralization of growing bones, leading to bowed legs, knock-knees, soft skull, and delayed growth. Scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) causes bleeding gums, pellagra (niacin deficiency) causes dermatitis and diarrhea, and anemia can be due to iron or B₁₂ deficiency.

Question #2
The 'Hormone Neurotensin' is a peptide found in the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract. In the gut, its primary functions include:
A. Stimulating gastric acid secretion
B. Stimulating insulin release
C. Increasing intestinal absorption of water
D. Inhibiting gastric motility and acid secretion, and stimulating the release of histamine and glucagon

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Neurotensin is a 13-amino acid peptide that functions as both a neuromodulator in the central nervous system and a hormone in the gastrointestinal tract. In the gut, it is secreted by the N cells in the ileum in response to fat ingestion. Its primary gastrointestinal functions are to inhibit gastric motility and gastric acid secretion (contributing to the 'ileal brake'), and to stimulate the release of histamine from mast cells and glucagon from the pancreas. It also causes vasodilation in the intestinal mucosa.
