In human blood, plasma constitutes nearly 55% of total blood volume and contains major plasma proteins such as albumins, globulins and fibrinogen that together help in:
1. Osmotic balance, defence and clotting respectively  
2. Gas exchange, buffering and clotting respectively  
3. Immunity, lipid transport and enzyme activation respectively  
4. Blood pressure regulation, oxygen transport and coagulation respectively

The presence of double circulation in mammals and birds ensures that:
1. Mixing of oxygen-poor and oxygen-rich blood occurs  
2. Blood passes once through the heart in one cycle  
3. Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are completely separated 
4. Blood pressure remains the same in pulmonary and systemic circuits

During an emergency, sympathetic stimulation to the heart increases cardiac output because it:
1. Decreases heart rate but increases stroke volume
2. Increases both heart rate and stroke volume by enhancing excitability and contractility
3. Decreases end-diastolic volume and increases end-systolic volume
4. Reduces coronary blood flow leading to stronger contraction

Consider the following statements about regulation of cardiac activity:
Statement I: Normal activities of the heart are auto-regulated by nodal tissue, hence called myogenic.
Statement II: Sympathetic nerves increase the rate of heart beat and cardiac output.
1. Only Statement I is correct
2. Only Statement II is correct
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

Read the following passage and answer the question:
A 55-year-old patient visited the doctor complaining of acute chest pain. The doctor explained that this symptom appears when not enough oxygen is reaching the heart muscle. The condition is more common among middle-aged and elderly individuals and occurs due to factors that affect blood flow to the heart. The patient was advised to undergo further cardiac evaluation and make lifestyle changes.
What is the medical term for the condition described above?
1. Hypertension
2. Angina
3. Heart failure
4. Coronary artery disease
