Explanation:

Question 16

Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection. It can cause splenomegaly (spleen enlargement) and hepatomegaly (liver enlargement) as the immune system responds. Leukopenia (low white blood cell count) can occur due to bone - marrow suppression or immune - mediated destruction. Lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes) is also a common manifestation as the lymphatic system is involved in the immune response to the infection.

The combining form "acous -" is related to hearing (e.g., acoustic - related to sound and hearing). "Audi/o -" also pertains to hearing (e.g., audiology - the study of hearing).

Lymph is a fluid that is collected throughout the body. It drains into the blood via the thoracic duct and the right lymphatic duct (which are located in the neck region). Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell found in lymph. Monocytes are another type of white blood cell. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can give rise to various cell types.
