Infectious diseases are caused by tiny organisms called __________
- A.
Pathogens
- B.
Parasites
- C.
Bacteria
Correct Answer
A. PathogensExplanation
Infectious diseases are caused by tiny organisms known as pathogens. Pathogens can include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These organisms invade the body and can cause illness or disease. Bacteria and parasites are types of pathogens, but not all infectious diseases are caused by them. Therefore, the correct answer is pathogens.Rate this question:

_____________ are organisms that live in or on another organism and drive nourishment from it
- A.
Pathogens
- B.
Parasites
Correct Answer
B. ParasitesExplanation
Parasites are organisms that live in or on another organism and obtain nourishment from it. Unlike pathogens, which cause diseases, parasites do not necessarily cause harm to their host. Instead, they rely on the host for survival and reproduction. This relationship can range from being mildly detrimental to the host's health to being fatal in some cases. Parasites have evolved various mechanisms to attach themselves to their host, such as hooks, suckers, or adhesive secretions. They can be found in different forms, including worms, ticks, lice, and fleas.Rate this question:

After 15 1/2 hours one bacterium can have multiplied into more than 4 _________ bacteria
- A.
Thousand
- B.
Million
- C.
Billion
- D.
Trillion
Correct Answer
C. BillionExplanation
After 15 1/2 hours, one bacterium can have multiplied into more than 4 billion bacteria. This exponential growth occurs due to the rapid division of bacteria, where each bacterium can divide into two new bacteria within a certain time frame. Therefore, over time, the number of bacteria increases exponentially, resulting in billions of bacteria in just 15 1/2 hours.Rate this question:

_______ are 1/2 to 1/100 the size of the smallest bacterium
- A.
Viruses
- B.
Ricketts
- C.
Protozoans
- D.
Fungi
Correct Answer
A. VirusesExplanation
Viruses are significantly smaller in size compared to the smallest bacterium. They can range from being 1/2 to 1/100 the size of a bacterium. This size difference is due to the unique structure and nature of viruses, which are essentially genetic material enclosed in a protein coat. Unlike bacteria, viruses cannot survive or reproduce on their own and require a host cell to carry out their life cycle.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. 8Explanation
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) - Also known as coronary artery disease, this condition involves the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, usually caused by atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
Stroke - Occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients.
Hypertensive Heart Disease - Caused by high blood pressure that affects the heart and can lead to heart failure, thickening of the heart muscle, and other problems.
Rheumatic Heart Disease - Caused by rheumatic fever, which is itself a complication of untreated streptococcal infection of the throat.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) - A circulatory condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs.
Congenital Heart Disease - Malformations of heart structure existing at birth.
Heart Failure - A condition in which the heart is unable to pump sufficiently to maintain blood flow to meet the body's needs.
Arrhythmia - An irregular heartbeat, either too fast or too slow, that can affect how effectively the heart works.
Therefore, you can say: There are eight major types of cardiovascular disease, each with different symptoms, causes, and treatment approaches. This diversity in types highlights the complexity and breadth of CVD as a group of disorders.Rate this question:

There are ___ risks for cvd
- A.
2
- B.
3
- C.
4
- D.
5
- E.
6
Correct Answer
D. 5Explanation
The correct answer is 5 because there are multiple risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and diabetes. These risk factors increase the likelihood of developing CVD and can have a cumulative effect. Therefore, it is important to address and manage these risk factors to reduce the risk of developing CVD.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 10Explanation
Imaging Tests - These can include X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, PET scans, and ultrasounds. They allow doctors to see inside the body and identify abnormal masses or growths.
Biopsy - This involves taking a small sample of tissue from the suspected area, which is then examined under a microscope to look for cancerous cells.
Blood Tests - Some cancers release substances into the blood that can be detected with blood tests. For example, certain proteins or tumor markers might be higher when there is cancer.
Endoscopy - This procedure uses a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera to look inside the digestive tract, lungs, or other areas to detect abnormal growths.
Genetic Tests - These tests look for specific gene mutations that are known to increase the risk of certain types of cancer.
Mammography - Specifically used for detecting breast cancer, it uses special X-ray images to spot abnormal growths in breast tissue.
Pap Test and HPV Testing - These tests are primarily used to screen for cervical cancer. A Pap test looks for precancers, cell changes on the cervix, and the HPV test looks for the virus (human papillomavirus) that can cause these cell changes.
Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) and Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test - These are used to screen for prostate cancer.
Skin Examination - Regular examination of the skin for new moles or changes in existing moles can help detect skin cancer early.
Barium Swallow - An imaging test that checks for abnormalities in the upper GI tract.Rate this question:
