    • Osteomalasia

    • Ostemalacia

    • Ostemallacia

    • Osteomalacia

    Correct Answer
    A. Osteomalacia
    Explanation
    Osteomalacia is a condition characterized by the softening of the bones. It occurs due to a deficiency in vitamin D or problems with its metabolism, leading to inadequate mineralization of the bone matrix. This can result in weakened and fragile bones, increasing the risk of fractures. The term "ostemalacia" and "ostemallacia" are misspellings of the correct term "osteomalacia".

    Blood platelet, cell that clots

    • Thrombocyte

    • Osteocyte

    • Arthrocyte

    • Hemacyte

    Correct Answer
    A. Thrombocyte
    Explanation
    A thrombocyte is a type of blood platelet that is responsible for blood clotting. When there is an injury or damage to a blood vessel, thrombocytes gather at the site to form a clot and prevent excessive bleeding. This process is essential for wound healing and maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system. The other options, osteocyte, arthrocyte, and hemacyte, do not have a direct role in blood clotting.

    Correct Answer

"Separate" means to divide or disconnect, "symphosis" is not a recognized word, "dialysis" is a medical procedure for filtering waste from the blood, and "symbiosis" refers to a mutually beneficial relationship between two different organisms. Therefore, analysis is the only word that fits the given question.

    A. Congenital anomaly
    Explanation
    A congenital anomaly refers to a physical or structural abnormality that is present at birth. This can include a wide range of conditions or defects that can affect various parts of the body. The term "congenital" indicates that the anomaly is present from the time of birth, and "anomaly" refers to any deviation from what is considered normal. Therefore, the answer "congenital anomaly" is the most appropriate choice as it accurately describes a physical abnormality that is present from birth.

    Explanation
    Contralateral means pertaining to the opposite side of the body. In medical terms, it is used to describe symptoms or conditions that occur on the side opposite to the affected area. For example, if someone has a stroke affecting the right side of their brain, they may experience contralateral weakness or paralysis on the left side of their body. In this context, contralateral is the most appropriate term to describe the concept of being on the opposite side.
