bradypepsia
apepsia
question 6
which medical term means excessive eating?
dysphagia
tachyphagia
polypepsia
polyphagia

Explanation:

• Tachypepsia: "Tachy - " means fast, so this term would imply fast digestion, not slow.
• Dyspepsia: "Dys - " means difficult or painful, so this term refers to indigestion (painful or difficult digestion), not specifically slow digestion.
• Bradypepsia: "Brady - " is a prefix that means slow. In medical terminology, when combined with "pepsia" (related to digestion), it means slow digestion.
• Apepsia: "A - " is a prefix meaning without, so this term means absence of digestion.

For the second question:

• Dysphagia: Refers to difficulty in swallowing.
• Tachyphagia: "Tachy - " means fast, so this would imply fast eating.
• Polypepsia: "Poly - " combined with "pepsia" (digestion - related) is not the standard term for excessive eating.
• Polyphagia: "Poly - " means excessive or many, and "phagia" is related to eating. So this term means excessive eating.

Answer:

For the first question: bradypepsia.
For the second question: polyphagia.
