Questions and Answers
- 1.
The study of the nature and cause of disease.
- A.
Immunology
- B.
Pathology
- C.
Autopsy
- D.
Chemotherapy
Correct Answer
B. PathologyExplanation
Pathology is the correct answer because it is the study of the nature and cause of disease. It involves the examination of tissues, organs, and bodily fluids to diagnose and understand diseases. Pathologists analyze samples and perform tests to determine the underlying causes of diseases and provide insights into their development and progression. Immunology, chemotherapy, and autopsy are not the study of the nature and cause of disease, making them incorrect choices.Rate this question:

The number of sick persons or cases of a disease within a certain population.
- A.
Mortality rate
- B.
Disease rate
- C.
Morbidity rate
- D.
Death rate
Correct Answer
C. Morbidity rateExplanation
The term "morbidity rate" refers to the number of sick persons or cases of a disease within a certain population. It is a measure of the prevalence or incidence of illness in a given population. The morbidity rate helps in understanding the burden of disease and in identifying patterns and trends in the occurrence of illnesses. It is different from the mortality rate, which specifically refers to the number of deaths caused by a disease.Rate this question:

Treatment and prevention of disease based on a premise that large doses of drugs which cause symptoms in healthy people will cure the same symptoms when given in small doses.
- A.
Autopsy
- B.
Homeopathy
- C.
Pathology
- D.
Immunology
Correct Answer
B. HomeopathyExplanation
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that follows the principle of "like cures like," meaning that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used in small doses to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. This explanation aligns with the premise mentioned in the question, where large doses of drugs causing symptoms in healthy people are believed to cure the same symptoms when given in small doses. Autopsy, pathology, and immunology do not relate to this premise and are not relevant to the explanation.Rate this question:

An autopsy is the examination of organs and tissues in a deceased body to determine the cause of death. It involves a thorough investigation of the body, including a detailed examination of the internal organs, tissues, and bodily fluids. Autopsies are performed by pathologists, who carefully analyze the findings to determine the cause and manner of death. This process is crucial in understanding the underlying medical conditions or injuries that led to the person's demise and can provide valuable information for legal or medical purposes.Rate this question:
