Explanation:

Question 11

• Infarction is tissue death due to lack of blood supply, often from blockage (stenosis).
• Option 1: Infarction doesn't lead to new blood vessel formation.
• Option 2: Stenosis (blockage) causes infarction (tissue death) via necrosis (tissue death), so this matches.
• Option 3: Infarction is from blockage, not hemorrhage.
• Option 4: Infarction isn't from tumor or new vessel formation.

• Septicemia relates to blood poisoning. The Greek "septikos" means "poison" or "putrefying" (relating to decay/infection).
• Option 1: "Rotting" is close but less precise than "poison/putrefying".
• Option 2: "Gangrenous or green" doesn't match "septikos" meaning.
• Option 3: "Bloody" is incorrect.
• Option 4: Matches the etymology of "septikos" (relating to poison/decay, relevant to septicemia).

Answer:

B. blockage leading to tissue death
