Explanation:

Question 13

Tuberculosis (TB) is treated with specific anti - TB drugs. Rifampin, isoniazid, and streptomycin are classic anti - TB medications. Vancomycin is an antibiotic used mainly for treating infections caused by certain gram - positive bacteria like methicillin - resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and is not used in the treatment of TB.

Chronic bronchitis is often caused by cigarette smoking (which irritates the bronchial tubes), respiratory tract infections (which can lead to long - term inflammation), and genetic predisposition can also play a role. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses and is not a common cause of chronic bronchitis.

The liver is the largest gland in the human body. It has multiple functions including detoxification, metabolism of nutrients, and production of bile. The pancreas, salivary glands, and thymus gland are all smaller in size compared to the liver.
