Question

1. the diagnostic term coronary isch/emia actually means:

○ tumor composed of blood vessels
○ abnormal condition of a clot in a blood vessel of the heart
○ deficient supply of blood to the crowning blood vessels of the heart
○ inflammation of the lymph glands

1. the diagnostic term that means hardening of the arteries is:

○ arterio/sclera/o/sis
○ cardio/valvul/itis
○ angio/card/itis
○ coronary thromb/o/sis

Explanation:

Question 13

• "tumor composed of blood vessels" refers to angioma, not related to coronary ischemia.
• "abnormal condition of a clot in a blood vessel of the heart" is coronary thrombosis, not ischemia.
• "deficient supply of blood to the crowning blood vessels of the heart" matches coronary ischemia (coronary = heart's crown - like vessels, ischemia = deficient blood supply).
• "inflammation of the lymph glands" is lymphadenitis, irrelevant.

• "arterio/sclera/o/sis" breaks down: arterio- (artery), sclera- (hardening), -osis (condition) → arteriosclerosis (hardening of arteries).
• "cardio/valvul/itis": cardio- (heart), valvul- (valve), -itis (inflammation) → heart valve inflammation.
• "angio/card/itis": angio- (vessel), cardio- (heart), -itis (inflammation) → heart vessel inflammation.
• "coronary thromb/o/sis": coronary (heart), thromb- (clot), -osis (condition) → coronary thrombosis.

Answer:

deficient supply of blood to the crowning blood vessels of the heart
