QUESTION
Dry gangrene affects?
OPTIONS
(A) Intestines
(B) Extremities
(C) Muscles
(D) Lungs
ANSWER
(B) Extremities
EXPLANATION
Dry gangrene is typically seen in distal extremities where arterial blood supply is severely compromised and the tissue becomes dry, shrunken, and mummified. Intestines more commonly develop wet gangrene because of their moist environment and bacterial flora, while lungs and muscles are not the classic sites of dry gangrene. Therefore, option B is correct.
