Explanation:

Analyze the first question

The first question asks for the term that describes the "visual examination of the anal canal and lower rectum."
Let's break down the medical prefixes and suffixes using Medical Terminology and Gastrointestinal Terminology:

• The suffix "-scopy" means visual examination.
• "an/o" refers to the anus. Anoscopy is the visual examination of the anal canal.
• "colon/o" refers to the colon. Colonoscopy is the visual examination of the entire large intestine.
• "proct/o" refers to the anus and rectum. Proctoscopy is the visual examination of the anal canal and rectum.
• "sigmoid/o" refers to the sigmoid colon. Sigmoidoscopy is the visual examination of the sigmoid colon.

Therefore, the correct term for the examination of both the anal canal and lower rectum is proctoscopy.

Analyze the second question

The second question asks for the term that means "any disease of the mouth due to a fungus."
Let's break down the options using Medical Terminology:

• "salmonellosis" is an infection caused by Salmonella bacteria.
• "stomat/o" means mouth, and "mycosis" means a fungal infection. Thus, "stomatomycosis" means a fungal disease of the mouth.
• "stomatitis" is inflammation of the mouth ("-itis" means inflammation).
• "steatorrhea" is excess fat in the feces.

Therefore, the correct term is stomatomycosis.
