Question

1. the diagnostic term \avulsion\ means:

○ cancerous tumor of the organs
○ forceful tearing away of part of a body structure
○ inflammation of the bone
○ congenital fissure of the vertebral column

1. a condition that causes buildup of uric acid crystals in the blood with deposition in joints is:

○ gout
○ lithosis
○ uricase
○ exostosis

Explanation:

Question 21

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "cancerous tumor of the organs" is incorrect as avulsion is not related to tumors.
• "forceful tearing away of part of a body structure" matches the definition of avulsion (a type of injury where a part is torn off).
• "inflammation of the bone" is osteitis, not avulsion.
• "congenital fissure of the vertebral column" is spina bifida, not avulsion.

Analyze each option:

• "gout" is caused by uric acid crystal buildup in blood and joints.
• "lithosis" refers to stone formation (e.g., kidney stones), not uric acid in joints.
• "uricase" is an enzyme, not a condition.
• "exostosis" is a bone growth, not related to uric acid.

Answer:

B. forceful tearing away of part of a body structure (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the second option as B)
