PRACTICE TEST PAPER 2026 COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
GRADED A+
⩥ type 2 diabetes.
Answer: Diabetes of a form that develops especially in adults and most
often obese individuals and that is characterized by high blood glucose
resulting from impaired insulin utilization coupled with the body's
inability to compensate with increased insulin production.
⩥ Pathophysiology of diabetes.
Answer: The pathophysiology of diabetes involves plasm concentrations
of glucose signaling the central nervous system to mobilize energy
reserves. It is based on cerebral blood flow and tissue integrity, arterial
plasma glucose, the speed that plasma glucose concentrations fall, and
other available metabolic fuels. Low plasma glucose causes a surge in
autonomic activity.
⩥ acromegaly.
Answer: abnormal enlargement of the extremities. occurs in adults
⩥ hyperthyroidism.
Answer: excessive activity of the thyroid gland- >thyroxine
, ØInsomnia, restlessness, tremor, irritability, palpitations, heat
intolerance, diaphoresis, diarrhea, inability to concentrate that interferes
with work performance; enlarged thyroid gland
ØIncreased basal metabolic rate leads to weight loss, although appetite
and dietary intake increase.
⩥ hyperperathyroidism.
Answer: Hyperparathyroidism is a condition in which one or more of the
parathyroid glands become overactive and secrete too much parathyroid
hormone (PTH). This causes the levels of calcium in the blood to rise, a
condition known as hypercalcemia.
⩥ childhood gigantism.
Answer: pituitary gigantism when your child's pituitary gland makes too
much growth hormone, which is also known as somatotropin. if not
treated they will have a lower life expectancy and weak limbs. risk of
cardiomegaly and heart failure
⩥ hypothyroidism.
Answer: A disorder caused by a thyroid gland that is slower and less
productive than normal
ØDecreased basal metabolic rate
ØWeakness, lethargy, cold intolerance, decreased appetite
ØBradycardia, narrowed pulse pressure, and mild/moderate weight gain
ØElevated serum cholesterol and triglycerides
