Question 74

• Quadriplegia: Paralysis of all four limbs, usually due to spinal cord injury, not related to brain damage location.
• Paraplegia: Paralysis of the lower half of the body, typically from spinal cord injury, not related to brain damage side.
• Hemiplegia: Paralysis of one half (hemisphere) of the body, often occurring on the opposite side of the brain damage (due to cross - wiring of the nervous system, where the right brain controls the left side and vice versa).
• Panplegia: A rare and less - defined term for total body paralysis, not related to the opposite half of brain - damaged area.

• Trachoma is a chlamydial infection of the eye. The term "Trach/oma" (the root "trach - " means rough) refers to the formation of rough, swollen lesions on the conjunctiva of the eye.
• Swollen eyelids can be a symptom, but it's not the main characteristic.
• Corneal scars can be a late complication, not the direct result of the infection's typical presentation.
• Blindness is a severe late - stage outcome, not the direct effect that defines trachoma.
