60% plasma, 40 % corpuscles

26
Q

Pituitary gland is located just below the

A

Brain
(The pituitary gland is a pea-sized structure located at the base of the brain, just below the hypothalamus, to which it is attached via nerve fibers. It is part of the endocrine system and produces critical hormones, which are chemical substances that control various bodily functions.)

27
Q

A

Made up of DNA as a main component
(a thread-like structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.)

30
Q

Ribosomes

A

The part of the cell which is esential for protien systhesis.
(a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins)

31
Q

Short sightednesss is due to

A

Elongation of eye balls
(Near-sightedness, also known as short-sightedness and myopia, is a condition of the eye where light focuses in front of, instead of on, the retina. This causes distant objects to be blurry while close objects appear normal.)
