Answer 1

Q1 -- 3 types of muscle are a) skeleton muscle .b) smooth muscle. c) cardiac muscle

1. Skeleton muscle - are voluntary muscle which are usually attached to Skeleton ,the muscle fibres are multinucleated and striations are present in them.
2. Smooth muscle-- are involuntary muscle and present in walls of internal organs , no striations present , uninucleated muscle fibres and spindle in shape.

Cardiac muscle - involuntary muscle fibres which occurs in wall of heart and uninucleated , striations present with branching of muscle fibres.

Q2--- Skeleton muscle are in voluntary control. (Aka multinucleated, striations present) . These muscles fibers are attached to Skeleton system by help of tendon and produce all type of movement of body ,these muscles fibers are voluntary in action . these muscles fibers are connected by connecting tissue , and nerve and blood vessel supply.

Q3--- Cardiac muscle are involuntary muscle and found exclusive in heart , special type of cells called pacemaker makes the heart pumping through involuntary effect , special type of cells called pacemaker cell are present only in cardiac muscle which generates action potential ,which travels through cardiac muscle in different parts of heart .the cardiac cells have branching which help in faster traveling of action potential.

Q4--- Abduction movement is movement away from midline of body , eg movement of arm away from body.

Q5--- Adduction is movement toward the mid line of body ,eg movement of leg towards main body .

Q6-- Circumduction is a circular movement around a fix joint , eg movement of arm around shoulder join in circular manner.

Q7-- Muscular dystrophy is grp of genetic disorders with progressive muscle weakness and degeneration . It is a type of neurodegenerative disorders ,in which abnormal genes are present which interfare with heathy protein synthesis which requires for healthy muscle fibres . Most common symptoms of MD is weakness of muscles and degeneration .

Q8--- Uric acid test mostly used to diagnose GOUT . In people undergoing chemotherapy ,there is increase in uric acid level so to detect that we do uric acid test in those paitent. It is also used to diagnose kidney stones.

Q9-- NSAID is acronym of non striodal anti inflammatory drugs

Q10--- ESR used to diagnose conditions in which inflammation occur. In case of infection or inflammatiory disease like arthritis , vasculitis, inflammatory bowel disease ,ESR can be requested.

Q11--- Planter flexion is movement of sole of foot downward toward earth
