Question

use the definition to determine the medical term. deconstruct the term into all of its elements, separate the combining vowel in a combining form.

1. artificial machine - based method to remove wastes from the blood.
2. the passing of urine.
3. that which has passed through a filter.
4. process of passing a liquid through a filter.
5. infection of the glomeruli of the kidney.
6. the taking back into the blood of substances that had previously been filtered out from it.
7. presence of protein in urine.
8. having intermittent spasms or contractions.
9. inflammation of the renal pelvis.
10. medical specialist in diseases of the kidney.

Explanation:

1. Hemodialysis: Combines "hem/o-" (blood, combining vowel included) and "-dialysis" (separation/filtering) to match the definition of machine-based blood waste removal.
2. Micturition/Urination: Both terms directly mean the act of passing urine, with no meaningful word elements to split for this deconstruction.
3. Filtrate: Breaks into "filtr-" (filter base) and "-ate" (suffix indicating a product of the action).
4. Filtration: Breaks into "filtr-" (filter base) and "-ation" (suffix indicating the process of the action).
5. Glomerulonephritis: Combines "glomerul/o-" (glomerulus, combining vowel included), "nephr/o-" (kidney, combining vowel included), and "-itis" (inflammation) to match kidney glomerulus infection/inflammation.
6. Reabsorption: Combines "re-" (back) with "absorpt-" (take in base) and "-ion" (process suffix) for the definition of reclaimed filtered substances.
7. Proteinuria: Combines "protein-" (protein base) and "-uria" (suffix meaning presence in urine).
8. Convulsive: Combines "convuls-" (spasm base) and "-ive" (suffix meaning having the quality of).
9. Pyelitis: Combines "pyel/o-" (renal pelvis, combining vowel included) and "-itis" (inflammation).
10. Nephrologist: Combines "nephr/o-" (kidney, combining vowel included) and "-logist" (suffix meaning specialist in a field).
