Q:

When one enters a dark room after being in bright light one is not able to see anything clearly for a while because 

A) the retina of the eye moves forward B) the retina of the eye moves backward
C) the iris is unable to dilate the pupil immediately to be able to see things D) the eye has no power of accommodation
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) the iris is unable to dilate the pupil immediately to be able to see things

Explanation:

The size of the pupil of the automatically adjusts itself according to the intensity of light passing through it; if the intensity is more, the size is less, if less, it is more. So in our case the pupil should dilate i.e , increase in size to be able to see in the dark. This switchover takes some time. But here the entry into the dark room is immediate. So the eye has no time to adjust itself and hence is not able to see at all for a while.

Q:

Basophils increase in number when parasitic invasion occurs.

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

FALSE. Basophils number will not be increased when parasitic invasion occurs.


 


Basophils are a type of white blood cell. Although they're produced in the bone marrow, they're found in many tissues throughout your body. They're part of your immune system and play a role in its proper function.


 


Basophils appear in many specific kinds of inflammatory reactions, particularly those that cause allergic symptoms. If your basophil level is low, it may be due to a severe allergic reaction.


 


Basophils contain anticoagulant heparin, which prevents blood from clotting too quickly. They also contain the vasodilator histamine, which promotes blood flow to tissues.
