Explanation:

The problem is about medical terminology related to bones and the spine, which falls under the subfield of Medicine and Health (Natural Science). For each question:

1. Ankylosing spondylitis is the form with progressive spine stiffening.
2. Synovectomy is the surgical removal of the synovial membrane.
3. Osteoporosis is marked by bone density loss and porosity increase.
4. Hematopoietic means pertaining to blood cell formation.
5. Periostitis is inflammation of the periosteum.
6. Osteomalacia is abnormal bone softening in adults.
7. Lordosis (lumbar lordosis) is swayback, abnormal forward lumbar curvature.
8. Osteopenia is thinner-than-average bone density.
9. Pathologic fracture occurs under normal strain.
10. Myeloma is a malignant tumor of bone marrow blood - forming cells.

Matching:

1. Avascular necrosis (E: death of bone tissue).
2. Lumbago (D: pain of lumbar region).
3. Spina bifida (A: congenital spine defect).
4. Scoliosis (C: abnormal lateral spine curvature).
5. Spondylosis (B: degenerative vertebrae condition).

True/False:

1. False (Crepitation is a grating sound, callus forms the deposit).
2. True (Metatarsals connect to toes).
3. False (Spina bifida is congenital, not communicable).
4. False (Osteitis is bone inflammation, not breakdown/separation).
5. False (Dual - x - ray absorptiometry uses x - rays, not sound waves).

Answer:

1. Ankylosing
2. Synovectomy
3. Osteoporosis
4. Hematopoietic
