o suffocation
o muscle spasms
o muscle weakness
o breathing problems

question 203
irregular and large hemorrhages under the skin is called:
o angina pectoris
o ecchymosis
o edema
o pulmonary artery thrombosis

question 204
what attaches muscles to bone?
o ligaments
o tendons

o bursa

Explanation:

• Question 202: Tetanus is an infection caused by Clostridium tetani bacteria. The bacteria produce a toxin that affects the nervous system, leading to muscle spasms. Suffocation may occur as a complication due to severe muscle spasms (e.g., of respiratory muscles), but the primary manifestation related to the term itself is muscle spasms. Muscle weakness is not the main feature of tetanus, and breathing problems (as a standalone, not due to muscle spasm - related causes in tetanus context) are not the core reference of the term "tetanus".
• Question 203: Ecchymosis is defined as irregular and large hemorrhages under the skin. Angina pectoris is chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart. Edema is swelling due to fluid accumulation. Pulmonary artery thrombosis is a blood - clot in the pulmonary artery.
• Question 204: Tendons attach muscles to bones. Ligaments attach bone to bone. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that can cover bone ends (articular cartilage) or be part of structures like the ear (elastic cartilage) etc. Bursa is a fluid - filled sac that reduces friction between tissues.

Answer:

• Question 202: muscle spasms
• Question 203: ecchymosis
• Question 204: tendons
