All 12 answers have been written and compiled into the Word document. Here's a summary of what's covered:

SET A (Image 1):
a) Autonomic denervation increases heart rate - The SA node has an intrinsic rate of ~100-110 bpm. Normally, vagal (parasympathetic) tone suppresses this. Denervation removes that brake, so the heart runs at its intrinsic faster rate (as seen in transplanted, fully denervated hearts).
b) Diuretics treat Hypertension - Thiazides reduce blood volume by blocking renal Na+/Cl- reabsorption, lowering cardiac output. Long-term, they also reduce peripheral vascular resistance. They are first-line for uncomplicated hypertension.
c) PCV is higher at high altitude - Low atmospheric pO2 causes hypoxia, which stimulates EPO secretion by the kidneys. EPO drives increased RBC production (polycythemia), raising the hematocrit/PCV as a compensatory mechanism.
d) Alcohol intoxication reduced after fat-rich diet - Fat delays gastric emptying (via CCK), dilutes alcohol concentration, and allows more first-pass gastric metabolism of alcohol, all reducing peak blood alcohol level.
e) Premature neonates prone to RDS - Surfactant (produced by Type II pneumocytes) is only adequate from ~34-36 weeks gestation. Preterm infants lack it, leading to alveolar collapse, reduced compliance, labored breathing, and hypoxia.
f) TB common at apex - M. tuberculosis is a strict aerobe. The apex has a high V/Q ratio giving high alveolar pO2, plus relatively poor blood flow and lymphatic drainage - ideal conditions for mycobacterial growth.

SET B (Image 2):
a) Myelinated fibers conduct faster - Saltatory conduction (jumping between nodes of Ranvier) means the action potential travels at 70-120 m/s vs. 0.5-2 m/s in unmyelinated C fibers.
b) Muscle weakness in Myasthenia Gravis - Anti-AChR IgG antibodies destroy, block, and internalize acetylcholine receptors at the NMJ, reducing end plate potentials below threshold for muscle action potential generation.
c) Steroids tapered gradually - Prolonged exogenous steroids suppress the HPA axis and cause adrenal atrophy. Sudden withdrawal causes adrenal insufficiency/crisis (hypotension, hypoglycemia). Gradual tapering allows HPA axis recovery.
d) Cryptorchidism causes sterility - Spermatogenesis requires ~2-3°C below core body temperature. Undescended testes exposed to abdominal temperature (~37°C) suffer germinal epithelium degeneration and irreversible azoospermia.
e) Muscle wasting in LMN lesion - Denervated muscles lose neurotrophic support, causing denervation atrophy. Features include flaccid paralysis, hypotonia, areflexia, fasciculations, and significant wasting.
f) Concave lens corrects myopia - In myopia, the focal point falls in front of the retina. A concave (diverging) lens diverges incoming light, shifting the focal point posteriorly onto the retina.
