Question

loss of muscle tone

rupture or tearing of a muscle

the formation of a fibrous band of tissue that holds two parts or surfaces together

abnormal softening of muscle tissue

inflammation of a muscle

the wasting away or shrinkage of muscle size

excessive growth or abnormal enlargement of a muscle

weakness or mild muscular paralysis

involuntary sudden movement or convulsive muscular contraction

options:
fascia
atrophy
myorrhexis
myomalacia
myositis
hypotonia
spasm
myoparesis
adhesion
hypertrophy

Explanation:

Analyze muscle tone loss

The term for "loss of muscle tone" is hypotonia. The prefix hypo- means deficient or decreased, and -tonia refers to muscle tone. This relates to Medical Terminology.

Analyze muscle rupture

The term for "rupture or tearing of a muscle" is myorrhexis. The combining form my/o means muscle, and the suffix -rrhexis means rupture. This relates to Musculoskeletal Combining Forms.

Analyze fibrous band formation

The term for "the formation of a fibrous band of tissue that holds two parts or surfaces together" is adhesion. This is a general pathological term for abnormal union of tissues.

Analyze muscle softening

The term for "abnormal softening of muscle tissue" is myomalacia. The combining form my/o means muscle, and the suffix -malacia means abnormal softening. This relates to Skeletal Suffixes.

Analyze muscle inflammation and other terms

• "inflammation of a muscle" is myositis (my/o + -itis meaning inflammation).
• "the wasting away or shrinkage of muscle size" is atrophy (a- meaning without + -trophy meaning development/nourishment).
• "excessive growth or abnormal enlargement of a muscle" is hypertrophy (hyper- meaning excessive + -trophy).
• "weakness or mild muscular paralysis" is myoparesis (my/o + -paresis meaning partial paralysis).
• "involuntary sudden movement or convulsive muscular contraction" is spasm.
