Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is true about the effects of alcoholism on organ systems?

Alcoholism has no significant impact on the nervous system.

Alcoholism enhances the function of the cardiovascular system by improving blood circulation.

Alcoholism primarily affects the skeletal system by weakening bones.

Alcoholism can lead to liver cirrhosis, severely impacting the liver's function.

Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the impact of alcoholism on various organ systems. Alcoholism is known to affect multiple systems in the body, including the nervous, cardiovascular, skeletal, and hepatic systems.

Consider the nervous system: Alcoholism can lead to neurological issues such as neuropathy, cognitive impairments, and changes in brain structure and function, contradicting the statement that it has no significant impact.

Examine the cardiovascular system: Chronic alcohol consumption can lead to hypertension, cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmias, rather than enhancing cardiovascular function.

Evaluate the skeletal system: While alcoholism can affect bone health, it is not primarily known for weakening bones compared to its effects on other systems.

Focus on the hepatic system: Alcoholism is most notably associated with liver damage, including fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis, which severely impacts liver function, making this statement the correct answer.
