o complete fracture
o closed fracture
greenstick fracture
o open fracture

question 197
hemorrhage means:
blood bursting forth
o pus overflowing
o many red blood cells
o internal bleeding

question 198
dento-, donto- and odonto- all mean:
o knuckle
o molars
tooth
o ulna

Explanation:

• Question 196: An open fracture is one where the bone protrudes through the skin. A complete fracture is when the bone is fully broken through. A closed fracture has no break in the skin. A greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture (common in children).
• Question 197: Hemorrhage refers to bleeding. “Blood bursting forth” is a description of active bleeding (hemorrhage). Pus overflowing is related to infections (not hemorrhage). “Many red - blood cells” is a general description of blood composition. Internal bleeding is a type of hemorrhage but the term “hemorrhage” itself is more about the process of bleeding rather than just internal.
• Question 198: The prefixes “Dento -”, “Donto -” and “Odonto -” are all related to teeth. “Knuckle” has no relation to these prefixes. “Molars” are a type of tooth, but the prefixes are more general. “Ulna” is a bone in the forearm.

Answer:

Question 196: open fracture
Question 197: blood bursting forth
Question 198: tooth
