Question

1. the diagnostic term pes planus means:

○ high arch

1. meniscus literally means:

○ straight
○ crescent - shaped
○ cartilage
○ to cross

Explanation:

Question 62

Pes Planus is a medical term. "Pes" refers to the foot, and "planus" means flat. So it refers to flat foot. Bent toes would be a different condition, high arch is Pes Cavus, and clubbed foot is a different deformity.

The term "meniscus" comes from a word meaning crescent - shaped. In anatomy, the meniscus (like in the knee) has a crescent - shaped structure. "Straight" is incorrect, "cartilage" is the tissue type but not the literal meaning, and "to cross" is not related.

Answer:

C. flat foot
