A. Maintain osmotic balance and cell volume
B. Synthesize ATP
C. Transport glucose into the cell
D. Produce hormones

Correct Answer: A. Maintain osmotic balance and cell volume

Rationale: The sodium-potassium pump helps maintain osmotic balance and cell volume by
pumping sodium out of and potassium into the cell, which is crucial for cell function.

Which hormone is primarily responsible for regulating serum calcium levels?

A. Insulin
B. Glucagon
C. Parathyroid hormone
D. Cortisol

Correct Answer: C. Parathyroid hormone

What is the primary cause of edema in heart failure?

A. Increased capillary oncotic pressure
B. Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure
C. Decreased capillary permeability
D. Increased lymphatic drainage

Correct Answer: B. Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure

Rationale: In heart failure, increased capillary hydrostatic pressure due to elevated venous
pressure leads to fluid leakage into the interstitial space, causing edema.



Question 5:
What type of hypersensitivity reaction is anaphylaxis?

A. Type I
B. Type II
C. Type III
D. Type IV

Correct Answer: A. Type I

Rationale: Anaphylaxis is a severe, immediate allergic reaction mediated by IgE antibodies,

,Question 7:
Which organ is primarily affected in cystic fibrosis?

A. Heart
B. Kidneys
C. Liver
D. Lungs

Correct Answer: D. Lungs

to respiratory infections and decreased lung function.



Question 8:
Which electrolyte imbalance is most likely to cause cardiac arrhythmias?

A. Hypokalemia
B. Hypernatremia
C. Hypocalcemia
D. Hypermagnesemia

Correct Answer: A. Hypokalemia

Rationale: Hypokalemia, or low potassium levels, can disrupt cardiac electrical activity and lead
to arrhythmias.



Question 9:
What is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease?

A. Hypertension
B. Diabetes mellitus
C. Glomerulonephritis
D. Polycystic kidney disease

Correct Answer: B. Diabetes mellitus

Rationale: Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease due to diabetic
nephropathy, which damages the kidneys over time.

, Question 10:
What is the underlying mechanism of type 1 diabetes mellitus?

A. Insulin resistance
B. Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells
C. Increased hepatic glucose production
D. Decreased glucose uptake by muscles

Correct Answer: B. Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells

Rationale: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune
system destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.



Question 11:
Which of the following conditions is characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells?

A. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
B. Hodgkin lymphoma
C. Multiple myeloma
D. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Correct Answer: B. Hodgkin lymphoma

Which disorder is characterized by demyelination in the central nervous system?

A. Guillain-Barré syndrome
B. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
C. Multiple sclerosis
D. Myasthenia gravis

Correct Answer: C. Multiple sclerosis

Rationale: Multiple sclerosis involves demyelination of neurons in the central nervous system,
leading to neurological symptoms.

Which statement best describes the cellular function of metabolic absorption?
