Question

Match List-I with List-II: 

List-I	List-II
(A) Livor mortis	(I) Pus in oviduct
(B) Pyosalpinx	(II) Blood in vomitus
(C) Hematemesis	(III) Postmortem hypostasis
(D) Hemoptysis	(IV) Blood in sputum

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)

Hint:

To easily differentiate between blood-related terms: "emesis" means vomiting, so hematemesis is blood in vomitus (C-II). "Ptysis" means spitting/coughing, so hemoptysis is blood in sputum (D-IV).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This matching question tests the understanding of standard medical and pathological terminology used to describe postmortem changes, lesions, and clinical signs in animals.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let us define each term to find its correct match:
- Livor mortis (A): This is a postmortem change characterized by the settling of blood in the dependent parts of the body due to gravity, causing a reddish-blue discoloration of the tissues. This process is also known as Postmortem hypostasis. This matches with (III).
- Pyosalpinx (B): This is a pathological condition characterized by the accumulation of pus in the fallopian tube or oviduct, usually resulting from an untreated infection. This matches with (I).
- Hematemesis (C): This is a clinical sign characterized by the vomiting of blood, which may appear bright red or dark brown (resembling coffee grounds) due to gastric acid exposure. This matches with (II).
- Hemoptysis (D): This is a clinical sign characterized by the coughing up of blood or blood-stained sputum from the respiratory tract. This matches with (IV).
Combining these individual linkages, the matching sequence is (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV).

Step 3: Final Answer:
The matching sequence is represented by option (C).
