Explanation:

Question 79

Brief Explanations
  • Ortho/ped/ist: An orthopedist deals with bones and joints in general, not specifically feet.
  • Chiro/pract/or: A chiropractor focuses on the spine and musculoskeletal system alignment, not foot - specific diseases.
  • Pod/iatr/ist: The combining form "pod" means foot. A podiatrist is a specialist who treats foot diseases and disorders like corns, bunions etc.
  • Chiro/pod/ist: This is not a standard medical term. The correct term for a foot specialist is based on "pod" (foot) not a combination with "chiro" (hand/related to spine in some contexts) in the standard medical terminology for foot specialists.
Brief Explanations
  • "Asthenia" is a medical term. In medical terminology, "asthenia" specifically means weakness. Words for swelling (e.g., -edema), pain (e.g., -algia), and redness (e.g., erythema) have different combining forms.
Brief Explanations
  • Loss of body movement caused by brain deterioration: This is more related to conditions like some forms of dementia - related movement disorders, not Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
  • Paralysis of the lower legs caused by sciatic nerve damage: Sciatic nerve damage causes local (lower - limb) nerve - related issues, not MS.
  • Deterioration or loss of the myelin sheath nerve body covering: MS is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the myelin sheath of nerves in the central nervous system.
  • Deterioration of the spinal cord: While MS can affect the spinal cord (due to myelin sheath damage), the key pathological feature is myelin sheath deterioration across the central nervous system (not just the spinal cord in isolation as the primary definition).

Answer:

Pod/iatr/ist
