    Explanation
    The term "thyromegaly" refers to the enlargement of the thyroid gland. The other options mentioned, "hepatosplenomegaly" and "hepatosplenmegaly," are unrelated to the thyroid gland and refer to the enlargement of the liver and spleen.

    Distal means farther from any point of reference or remote. This term is often used in anatomy to describe the position of a body part that is located away from the center of the body or the point of attachment. In this context, distal refers to something that is located further away from a specific point. Therefore, distal is the correct answer as it best fits the given definition.

    • Growth

    Correct Answer
    A. Pertaining to
    Explanation
    The suffix "-al" is used to form an adjective that means "pertaining to." In this case, the word "labor" is a noun, and when the suffix "-al" is added to it, it becomes "laboral," which means "pertaining to labor." Therefore, the correct answer is "pertaining to."

    A. Erythema
    Explanation
    Erythema refers to redness of the skin, which is a common symptom of various skin conditions and infections. It is characterized by the dilation of blood vessels in the skin, leading to the red appearance. Orthopnea, on the other hand, is a medical term used to describe difficulty in breathing while lying flat and is unrelated to skin redness. Therefore, erythema is the correct answer as it accurately corresponds to the given symptom.

    Correct Answer
    A. Rhinitis
    Explanation
    Rhinitis refers to the inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose. The term "mucosa" is another word for the mucous membrane, and "mucos" is a misspelling of it. Therefore, "rhinitis" is the correct answer as it accurately describes the condition of inflammation in the nasal mucous membrane.

    Dyspnea refers to labored or difficult breathing. It is a medical term used to describe the sensation of breathlessness or the feeling of not being able to get enough air. It can be caused by various factors such as lung diseases, heart conditions, obesity, anxiety, or strenuous physical activity. Dyspnea is often accompanied by other symptoms like rapid breathing, chest tightness, wheezing, or coughing. It is important to identify the underlying cause of dyspnea in order to provide appropriate treatment and management.

    Correct Answer
    A. Hepatosplenomegaly
    Explanation
    Hepatosplenomegaly refers to the enlargement of both the liver and spleen. This condition can be caused by various factors such as liver disease, infections, or certain metabolic disorders. Enlargement of these organs can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, and jaundice. Adenopathy, on the other hand, refers to the enlargement of lymph nodes. Therefore, hepatosplenomegaly is the correct term to describe the given condition of liver and spleen enlargement.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Combining Form for: cell

    • Chrom/o

    • Necr/o

    • Cyt/o

    • Myring/o

    Correct Answer
    A. Cyt/o
    Explanation
    The combining form "cyt/o" is the correct answer because it refers to cells. The other combining forms listed - "chrom/o" refers to color, "necr/o" refers to death, and "myring/o" refers to the eardrum - do not relate to cells. Therefore, "cyt/o" is the only option that is relevant to the term "cell".

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    A spasm of the orbicular muscle of the eyelid

    • Hyperlipidemia

    • Blepharospasm

    • Belfarospasm

    • Hyperlipidemia

    Correct Answer
    A. Blepharospasm
    Explanation
    Blepharospasm is a condition characterized by involuntary spasms of the orbicular muscle of the eyelid. This causes the eyelid to close tightly and uncontrollably, leading to difficulty in opening the eyes. Hyperlipidemia, on the other hand, refers to high levels of lipids (fats) in the blood. It is unrelated to the spasms of the eyelid muscles. Belfarospasm is not a recognized medical term and is likely a misspelling of blepharospasm. Therefore, the correct answer is blepharospasm.

    Rate this question:

  • 19.

    • Perrectal

    • Prerectal

    • Perirectal

    Correct Answer
    A. Perirectal
    Explanation
    The term "perirectal" refers to the area around the rectum. It is a combination of the prefix "peri-" which means "around" and "rectal" which refers to the rectum. Therefore, perirectal accurately describes the location around the rectum. The other options, "perrectal," "prerectal," and "parirectal," do not accurately describe the specific location around the rectum.

    • Choledoch/o

    • Aur/i

    • Puerper/o

    • Aur/o

    Correct Answer
    A. Choledoch/o
    Explanation
    The combining form "choledoch/o" refers to the common bile duct. This term is derived from the Greek word "choledochos," which means "bile duct." By adding the combining form "-o," it creates the term "choledoch/o," which specifically indicates the common bile duct. The other combining forms listed, "aur/i," "puerper/o," and "aur/o," do not relate to the common bile duct and are therefore not the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 21.

    Edema refers to the accumulation of excess fluid in the tissues of the body. This condition can occur due to various reasons such as inflammation, injury, or certain medical conditions. When there is an imbalance between the amount of fluid being produced and the amount being removed from the tissues, fluid can build up and cause swelling. Edema can affect different parts of the body, including the legs, ankles, and hands. It is important to identify and treat the underlying cause of edema to prevent complications and manage the symptoms effectively.

    • Joined

    • Without

    • Within

    Correct Answer
    A. Within
    Explanation
    The prefix "endo-" means "within" or "inside." Therefore, the correct answer, "within," is the most appropriate choice as it aligns with the meaning of the prefix. The other options, "together," "joined," and "without," do not accurately represent the meaning of the prefix "endo-."

    Correct Answer
    A. Myringotomy
    Explanation
    A myringotomy is a surgical procedure in which a small incision is made in the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to relieve pressure or drain fluid from the middle ear. This procedure is commonly performed to treat conditions such as chronic ear infections or to insert ear tubes. Adenopathy and adinopathy are not medical terms and do not relate to the given question. Myringomy is also not a correct answer as it refers to the presence of a small hole or perforation in the eardrum, whereas the question specifically mentions an incision.

    Explanation
    Palpitation refers to an unusually rapid, strong, or irregular heartbeat. It is a sensation of the heart pounding or racing, often felt in the chest, throat, or neck. This condition can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, stress, caffeine, nicotine, certain medications, or underlying heart conditions. Palpitation is different from palpation, which is a medical term for the act of examining or feeling a patient's body part with the hands. Therefore, the correct answer is palpitation.

    A. Granuloma
    Explanation
    A granuloma is a small nodule, tumor, or growth that forms in the body as a result of inflammation. It is typically composed of immune cells and fibrous tissue. In this context, the term "granuloma" is the correct answer as it best describes the given description of a small nodule or growth. The other options, such as "buccal" and "bucca," are related to the mouth or cheek area and do not accurately match the given description. Similarly, "granduloma" is not a recognized medical term and is likely a misspelling of "granuloma."

    • Spir/o

    • Aponeur/o

    • Par/o

    • Vesic/o

    Correct Answer
    A. Spir/o
    Explanation
    The combining form "spir/o" is the correct answer because it specifically relates to the action of breathing. The word "spir/o" is derived from the Latin word "spiritus," meaning breath or spirit. Therefore, when combined with other word parts, it can form terms related to respiration, such as "spirometer" (a device used to measure lung capacity) or "inspiration" (the act of inhaling). The other options, "aponeur/o," "par/o," and "vesic/o," do not have a direct association with breathing and are not commonly used in respiratory terminology.
