Question:

Which of the following is correctly matched for diseases in humans?

Options:

Hypertension - increase in blood pressure i.e greater than 120/80 mm Hg.

Heart Failure - congestion of the lungs

Atherosclerosis - inelastic arteries.

All of the above.

Correct Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - All of the above.

Hypertension is referred to as high blood pressure greater than 120/80 mm Hg.

Heart Failure: Heart failure means the state of heart when it is not pumping blood effectively enough to meet the needs of the body. It is sometimes called congestive heart failure because congestion of the lungs is one of the main symptoms of this disease. Heart failure is not the same as cardiac arrest (when the heart stops beating) or a heart attack (when the heart muscle is suddenly damaged by an inadequate blood supply)

Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis, where there is a buildup of fats, cholesterol, and other substances in and on the artery walls as plaques, which can restrict blood flow and make arteries inelastic.
