Answer 1

Ans) 6) Gingivitis:

Gingivitis means inflammation of the gums, or gingiva. It commonly occurs because a film of plaque, or bacteria, accumulates on the teeth. Gingivitis is a non-destructive type of periodontal disease, but untreated gingivitis can progress to periodontitis.

7) Colitis:

Colitis refers to inflammation of the inner lining of the colon.

8) Vulvulus:

An obstruction due to twisting or knotting of the gastrointestinal tract.

9) Cirrhosis:

- Cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis and chronic alcoholism. Each time your liver is injured — whether by disease, excessive alcohol consumption or another cause — it tries to repair itself.

10) Jaundice:

- Jaundice is a term used to describe a yellowish tinge to the skin and the whites of the eye. Jaundice is caused by a buildup of bilirubin, a waste material, in the blood. An inflamed liver or obstructed bile duct can lead to jaundice, as well as other underlying conditions.
