Explanation:

Each term is matched to its standard medical definition:

1. Note: The term for "Fast breathing" (Tachypnea) is not listed in the left column, so it is unmatched.

3. Hypertrophy refers to an increase in cell/organ size.
4. Note: The term for "Nosebleed" (Epistaxis) is not listed in the left column, so it is unmatched.
5. Chyme is the partially digested gastric food mixture.
6. Hydronephrosis is urine-filled renal pelvis swelling.
7. Note: The term for the hip cavity receiving the femur (Acetabulum) is not listed in the left column, so it is unmatched.
8. Claudication is defined as painful lameness from poor circulation.
9. Auscultation is listening to internal organ sounds.
10. Nephrectomy is surgical kidney removal.
11. Anoxia means total absence of oxygen supply.
12. Note: The term for "Involuntary movement of the eyeball" (Nystagmus) is not listed in the left column, so it is unmatched.
13. Note: The term for "Bluish discoloration of the skin" (Cyanosis) is not listed in the left column, so it is unmatched.
