Explanation:

Question 6:

Petit mal seizures, also known as absence seizures, are characterized by a sudden lapse of consciousness that typically lasts 5 - 30 seconds. Tonic seizures involve muscle stiffness, clonic seizures involve rhythmic jerking, and tonic - clonic seizures are a combination of both with a more severe loss of consciousness and convulsions.

Question 7:

Central cord syndrome often results from a neck injury and is characterized by loss of sensation and motor function in the arms and hands more than in the legs, due to damage to the central part of the spinal cord. Horner's syndrome affects the eyes and face, cauda equina syndrome affects the lower spinal nerves, and conus medullaris syndrome affects the lower part of the spinal cord and pelvic organs.

Question 8:

Grave's disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism, and antithyroid medications like propylthiouracil (PTU) are used to reduce thyroid hormone production. Plummer disease is a form of hyperthyroidism but is usually non - autoimmune, Cushing's disease is related to cortisol overproduction, and Addison's disease is related to adrenal insufficiency.

Answer:

Question 6: Petit mal seizure

Question 7: Central cord syndrome

Question 8: Grave's disease
