The term for the death of brain tissue due to lack of blood flow is:
A. Embolism
B. Myocardial infarction
C. Stroke
D. Aneurysm
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
A stroke (cerebrovascular accident) occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted, causing tissue death. Myocardial infarction is heart attack, aneurysm is vessel ballooning, embolism is blockage by a traveling clot.
Explanation:
Metastasis is the process by which malignant cancer cells detach from the primary tumor, travel through the blood or lymph, and establish secondary tumors in other organs. Benign tumors do not metastasize. Apoptosis is programmed cell death.
Consider statements about human respiration: 1. Hemoglobin has a higher affinity for CO2 than O2. 2. Carbonic anhydrase is present in RBCs. 3. Most CO2 is transported as bicarbonate. Which are correct?
Explanation:
Hemoglobin has a much higher affinity for oxygen than for carbon dioxide; it binds O2 readily in the lungs. Inside RBCs, the enzyme carbonic anhydrase rapidly catalyzes the conversion of CO2 and water into carbonic acid. Approximately 70% of CO2 is transported in the blood as bicarbonate ions in the plasma. Thus, statements 2 and 3 are correct.
