Assertion : Smaller the organism higher is the rate of metabolism per gram weight.

The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the energy requirement of the human body at rest and reflects the caloric needs of the body. It can be determined by total body weight and the amount of muscle mass.
It is inversely related with the weight or volume of an organism, i.e. smaller the organism, higher is the basal metabolic rate and vice versa.
Example, Heart rate of 6- month old baby is 110-112 beats/min. Though, it is higher than normal adult person, but it is lower than the old person.
Formation of non-functional methaemoglobin causes blue-baby syndrome. This is due to
excess of arsenic concentration in drinking water
excess of nitrates in drinking water
deficiency of iron in food
increased methane content in the atmosphere
Thickening of arteries due to cholesterol deposition is
arteriosclerosis
rheumatic heart
blood pressure
cardiac arrest
The component of blood which prevents its coagulation in the blood vessels is
Haemoglobin
Plasma
Thrombin
Heparin
Which one of the following is a matching pair
Lubb - Sharp closure of AV valves at the beginning of ventricular systole
Dup - Sudden opening of semilunar valves at the beginning of ventricular diastole
Pulsation of the radial artery - Valves in the blood vessels
Initiation of the heart beat - Purkinje fibres
Assertion : Blood coagulate in uninjured blood vessels.
Reason : Uninjured blood vessels release an anticoagulant heparin.

In which one of the following pairs the two items mean one and the same thing
Malleus - anvil
SA node - pacemaker
Leucocytes - lymphocytes
Haemophilia - blood cancer
Assertion : Persons suffering from haemophilia fail to produce blood clotting factor VIII.

Blood sugar (fasting) - 80 - 100 mg/100 ml
Total blood volume - 3 - 4 litres
ESR in Wintrobe method - 9 -15 mm in males and 20 - 34 mm in females
