Question

question 163
groups of muscle fiber bundles and their coverings are referred to as a(n):
o epimysium
o fasciculus
o endomysium
o sarcolemma

question 164
what is the pathologic condition where the retina becomes separated from the choroid layer?
o strabismus
o presbyopia
o macular degeneration
o retinal detachment

question 165
the medical term diphtheria literally means:
o mucus/condition
o covering/state
o pus/disease
o membrane/refers

Explanation:

• Question 163:
• Epimysium is the outer - most connective tissue covering of a whole muscle.
• Fasciculus refers to a bundle of muscle fibers along with their coverings.
• Endomysium is the connective tissue around individual muscle fibers.
• Sarcolemma is the cell membrane of a muscle fiber.
• Question 164:
• Strabismus is a misalignment of the eyes.
• Presbyopia is age - related farsightedness.
• Macular degeneration affects the macula (central part of the retina) but is not about separation.
• Retinal detachment is the separation of the retina from the choroid layer.
• Question 165:
• The word "diphtheria" comes from the Greek word "diphthera" meaning "leather" or "membrane". The suffix "-ia" can denote a condition. So, it literally means "membrane/refers" (in the sense of a membrane - like covering related condition).

Answer:

• Question 163: Fasciculus
• Question 164: Retinal Detachment
• Question 165: membrane/refers
