Question 15

• Hypotension is low blood pressure, not related to tissue fluid swelling.
• Edema is defined as local or generalized swelling due to excessive tissue fluids.
• Congestive heart failure is a heart condition, not the term for the swelling itself (though it can cause edema).
• Aneurysm is a bulging of a blood vessel, not related to tissue fluid swelling.

• The prefix "ferro - " comes from the Latin word for iron. "Copper" has the prefix "cupro - ", "fiber" is unrelated, and "metal" is too general. So "ferro - " means iron.

Answer:

B. edema
