Question
- what is the twisting of blood vessels that supply blood to the male gonad?
testicular torsion
varicocele
saxophone penis
spermatocele
- the term mastectomy literally means:
the process of reconstructing the breast
the process of examining the breast
the process of shaping the breast
the process of cutting out the breast
For question 21, testicular torsion is the twisting of the spermatic cord which contains blood - vessels supplying the testicles (male gonads). A varicocele is an abnormal enlargement of the pampiniform plexus of veins in the scrotum. "Saxophone penis" is not a medical term related to blood - vessel twisting. A spermatocele is a cystic mass in the epididymis. For question 22, the prefix "mast -" refers to the breast and "ectomy" means surgical removal. So mastectomy means cutting out the breast.
