B. Factors predisposing to SC include skin phenotype, age, male sex, outdoor occupation, rural living, and host immune status.

C. AK and SC serve as clinical dose-meters for chronic UVR exposure.

D. All of the above.

The correct answer is option D. "All of the above".

Solar cheilosis (SC) is a type of precancer of the lower lip, induced by ultraviolet light exposure, particularly by the exposure of UV-B from sunlight. However, UV-B exposure is not the only cause of SC, there are different factor that predispose to the development of this disease, including skin phenotype, age, male sex, outdoor occupation, rural living, and host immune status. Particularly because people with an outdoor occupation is  more expose to sunlight and people with an detrimental immunological condition cannot fight SC as easy as a healthy person. According to the scientific article "Epidemiology of actinic keratoses and squamous cell carcinoma" by Salasche SJ., Actinic keratosis (AK) and SC serve as clinical dose-meters for chronic UVR exposure

Explanation:

The supplementary motor cortex, also known as the supplementary motor area (SMA), is an area of the cerebral cortex located anterior to the premotor cortex. This area (SMA) is involved in the execution of complex and rapid sequential movements (e.g., typing). Moreover, the premotor cortex is an area of the motor cortex located between the primary motor cortex and the prefrontal cortex. This area (premotor cortex) is activated during motor tasks including, among others, spatial and sensory guidance of movement.

Answer:

Weight gain and depression are symptoms caused by imbalance of pituitary and adrenal glands and the cortisol hormone.

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is responsible for the overall functioning of the body since it produces a variety of hormones. It is very small in size and is also known as the 'master gland'. It is made of two parts- <u>anterior pituitary gland and posterior pituitary gland</u>. The pituitary gland and its functions are controlled by the hypothalamus.

The anterior pituitary secretes hormones which act on adrenal glands, thyroid, testes and ovaries. The hormones produced are <em>TSH, Prolactin, Luitenizing Hormone, Cortisol, Testosterone</em>, etc.

Cortisol is produced by the <u>adrenal gland</u> under the command of <em>pituitary gland</em>. Cortisol helps in <em>regulating blood sugar, blood pressure</em> and helps in reducing inflammation. Any imbalance of adrenal gland will cause an increase or decrease in the production of cortisol. The symptoms produced on the imbalance are:

  • Obesity in upper body
  • High blood pressure
  • Mood swings, depression and irritability
  • Acne and other skin problems.
