Ans:a
Retinal detachment is a disorder of the eye in which the retina peels away from its underlying
layer of support tissue. Initial detachment may be localized, but without rapid treatment the entire
retina may detach, leading to vision loss and blindness. The retina is a thin disc-shaped layer of
light-sensitive tissue on the back wall of the eye. Its job is to translate what we see into neural
impulses and send them to the brain via the optic nerve.Retinal detachment is more common in
those with severe or extreme myopia (above 5-6 diopters), as their eyes are longer and the retina is
stretched thin
Myopia, or nearsightedness also known as short sightedness, is a refractive defect of the eye
in which collimated light produces image focus in front of the retina when accommodation is relaxed
.reduced renal blood flow can cause hypertension y which of the following?
a.release of renin
b.refles vasoconstruction
c.retention of potassium in blood -its retention of sodium and water
d.increased output of epinephrine -is in response to severe pancreatic hypoglycemia
Ans:a
Vasoconstrictors increase blood pressure or to reduce blood flow via angiotensinogen II.
Renovascular hypertension (or "renal hypertension") is a form of secondary hypertension, caused
by a stenosis of the renal arteries.The macula densa of the kidney senses a decreased systemic
blood pressure due to the pressure drop over the stenosis. The response of the kidney to this
decreased blood pressure is activation of the renin-angiotension aldosterone system, which normally
counteracts low blood pressure, but in this case lead to hypertension (high blood pressure). The
decreased perfusion pressure (caused by the stenosis) leads to decreased blood flow
(hypoperfusion) to the kidney and a decrease in the GFR.So release of Renin activates the reninangiotensin system by cleaving angiotensinogen, produced in the liver, to yield angiotensin I, which
is further converted into angiotensin II by ACE, the angiotensin-converting enzyme.Angiotensin II
then constricts blood vessels, increases the secretion of ADH and aldosterone, and stimulates the
hypothalamus to activate the thirst reflex, leading to increased blood pressure.An over-active reninangiotension system leads to vasoconstriction and retention of sodium and water. These effects lead
to hypertension

a. the anterior cerebral artery is located in the longitudinal fissure
b. the middle cerebral artery is located in the lateral fissure
c. the superior cerebellar artery is a branch of the vertebral artery
d. the two vertebral arteries join to form the basilar artery
e. the anterior communicating artery connects the two anterior cerebral arteries
Ans:c
The superior cerebellar artery arises near the termination of the basilar

The tympanic membrane is usually concave externally, with a small depression in the concavity
called the:
a. umbo
b. dumbo
c. rambo
d. limbo
e. Eustachio
Ans:umbo.
The tympanic membrane is separated into four quadrants, with the center of the four quadrants
being the umbo.The manubrium of the malleus is firmly attached to the medial surface of the
membrane as far as its center, which it draws toward the tympanic cavity; the lateral surface of the
membrane is thus concave, and the most depressed part of this concavity is named the umbo.
Which of the following is true of the venous circulation of the head and neck:
a. the retromandibular vein often communicates with both the internal and external jugular veins
b. the facial vein drains the mandibular dental arcade
c. the anterior jugular vein is contained within the carotid sheath
d. the superior thyroid vein lies on the sternocleidomastoid muscle
e. the external jugular vein is the major source of venous drainage from the thyroid gland
Ans:a
Retromandibular vein divides into two branches:
an anterior, which passes forward and unites with the anterior facial vein to form the
common facial vein,enter internal jugular vein.
a posterior, which is joined by the posterior auricular vein and becomes the external jugular
vein.
please let me know if any answers r wrong.
