Lesson 2, Part 2 - Digestive Terms

The term 'gastro' refers to the stomach, while 'gas' and 'stomachache' are symptoms commonly associated with stomach issues. Stomach gastritis specifically refers to inflammation of the stomach lining. The incorrect answers provided are related to different gastrointestinal conditions that can also cause symptoms like gas and stomachache, but they are not specifically defined by the term 'gastro'.

The term 'glosso / glossy, silver-tongued' refers to tongue glossopathy which is a condition involving abnormalities of the tongue. The incorrect answers do not accurately depict the meaning of the term.

The correct answer refers to liver inflammation, while the incorrect answers erroneously match other organs with conditions unrelated to the given question.

The term 'laparo' or 'lap' is associated with the lower abdomen. A laparotomy refers to an incision made in the abdomen.

In medical terminology, the term 'myxo' is typically associated with mucus or mucus-related conditions, such as myxoma which refers to a mucus tumor.

Procto or proctor in medicine is closely related to the anus and rectum, particularly in the study of diseases within this area called proctology.

The term 'pylorus' is derived from 'pyloro / pylon', meaning gateway, gate + 'keep'. It refers to the part of the stomach that connects to the small intestine. The term 'gatekeeper' is synonymous with 'pylorus' as it controls the passage of food from the stomach to the small intestine. The incorrect answers provided do not accurately match the etymology and function of 'pylorus' and 'gatekeeper'.

The correct terminology is 'stoma' which refers to the mouth, not 'storm' or 'rant'. Stomatitis is the inflammation of the mouth and is the correct term to match with 'stoma'.

The prefix 'viscero-' refers to body organs, such as visceroemgaly which is the medical term for enlarged abdominal organs. The incorrect answers provided do not match the correct association with the prefix 'viscero-' and are therefore incorrect.

The correct answer 'End of section.' signifies the conclusion of a particular segment or portion.

Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, often performed to treat gallstones or other gallbladder-related issues.

The confusion between 'colon' and 'colony' is a common mistake due to their similar spellings but different meanings. 'Colony' refers to a group of people or animals living in a specific area, while 'colon' refers to a body part. 'Colitis' is the inflammation of the large intestine, making it the correct answer in this context.

Vomiting is the act of forcibly expelling the contents of one's stomach through the mouth. It is also known as emesis or emetic, as it produces vomit. Regurgitation, excretion, and dispersion do not specifically refer to the act of emitting stomach contents.

The term 'entero / enter' is commonly associated with the intestine. For example, enteritis refers to inflammation of the intestine.
