    • Swallow

    • Granules

    • Blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Granules
    Explanation
    The term "granul/o" refers to granules. Granules are small particles or small sacs found in cells that contain various substances. This term is commonly used in medical terminology to describe structures or processes related to granules. The other options, "neutral," "swallow," and "blood," do not have any direct association with the term "granul/o."

    • Neutral

    Correct Answer
    A. Neutral
    Explanation
    The term "neutr/o" refers to neutral. It is derived from the Latin word "neuter" which means neither one nor the other. In medical terminology, "neutr/o" is often used to indicate a state of balance or neutrality, such as in the term "neutropenia" which refers to a decrease in neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. Therefore, the correct answer is neutral.

    A. Blood
    Explanation
    The term "Hemat/o" refers to blood. In the given options, veins, artery, and blood clot are all related to the circulatory system and can be associated with blood. However, the term "Hemat/o" specifically means blood, making it the most appropriate answer.

    The word "base" is the correct answer because it is the only word that is related to the given term "Bas/o". "Bas/o" is a combining form that refers to something related to the base or bottom. Therefore, "base" is the most appropriate word that matches this definition. The other options, such as "poring," "blood," and "swallow," do not have any direct connection to the term "Bas/o."

    The term "-emia" is a suffix used in medical terminology to indicate a condition or presence of a substance in the blood.

    Globin is a type of protein found in blood cells. It is responsible for carrying oxygen to different parts of the body. The question is asking for the correct answer, which is "protein", as globin is indeed a protein. The other words mentioned, such as blood, cell, and sticky, are related to the topic but do not directly answer the question.

    • Size

    Correct Answer
    A. Shape
    Explanation
    The root "morph/o" refers to shape or form. Therefore, the correct answer is "shape" as it directly relates to the meaning of the root. The other options, abnormal, weird, and size, do not directly relate to the meaning of "morph/o" and are therefore incorrect.

    The term "penia" typically refers to a decrease or deficiency in a particular substance or component. In this case, the term "abnormal decrease" suggests that there is an abnormal or excessive decrease in something. Without further context, it is not clear what specifically is being referred to, but the answer implies that there is an abnormal decrease in some aspect or factor.

    -cytosis

    • Less cells than usual

    • Formation of more cells than normal

    A. Formation of more cells than normal
    Explanation
    The suffix "-cytosis" refers to the process of the formation of more cells than normal. This can be understood by breaking down the term: "cyto-" refers to cells, and "-osis" refers to a process or condition. Therefore, "-cytosis" specifically indicates an increase in the number of cells being produced, which is the correct answer.

    The term "stasis" refers to a state of inactivity or lack of movement. The prefix "a-" means "away from" or "not," while the prefix "apart" suggests separation or distance. However, the option "standing still" accurately captures the meaning of "stasis" as it implies a lack of movement or remaining in one position. Therefore, "standing still" is the most appropriate interpretation of the term "stasis."

This clumping, or agglutination, can occur during blood typing or in certain disease conditions. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is "clumping".

    Explanation
    The term "eosin/o" refers to a red dye commonly used in histology to stain cells and tissues. It is derived from the Greek word "eos," meaning red. Therefore, the correct answer "rosy red" is a suitable description for the term "eosin/o" as it represents the color associated with the dye.

    Correct Answer
    A. Formation
    Explanation
    The word "formation" is the correct answer because it is the only word in the given list that is related to the concept of something being created or coming into existence. "Attraction to," "away from," and "porous" do not have the same meaning as "formation" and are therefore incorrect choices.

    The term "apheresis" refers to the removal or elimination of a part or component from a whole. Therefore, the most appropriate word from the given options that relates to apheresis is "removal." This word accurately describes the action of taking something away or extracting it, aligning with the meaning of apheresis. The other options, reduction, resizing, and open, do not directly convey the concept of removing or eliminating something.

    The term "sanguin/o" refers to blood. In the given options, "oxygenated" and "white" are not directly related to blood, and "clot" is a specific condition or event that can occur in blood. Therefore, the correct answer is "blood," as it is the only option that directly relates to the term "sanguin/o."
