Question
a deficiency in the number of thrombocytes is called: thrombocytopenia petechiae hemophilia thrombosis question 8 which word parts do you need to build a medical word that means excessive flow or discharge of blood? -rrhage, hem/o- -cyte, thromb/o-, rrag/o- -lysis, hypo-, erythr/o- oma, macr/o-, hemat/o-
Brief Explanations
- Question 7: Thrombocytes are platelets. Thrombocytopenia is the medical term for a low platelet count. Petechiae are small red or purple spots on the skin due to bleeding. Hemophilia is a genetic disorder where blood doesn't clot properly. Thrombosis is the formation of a blood - clot inside a blood vessel.
- Question 8: The suffix “-rrhage” means excessive flow or discharge. The root “hem/o -” means blood. So, combining them gives a word related to excessive blood flow. “-cyte” means cell. “Thromb/o -” relates to clotting. “Rrag/o -” is not a standard root. “-lysis” means destruction. “Hypo -” means under. “Erythr/o -” means red (related to red blood cells). “Oma” means tumor. “Macr/o -” means large. “Hemat/o -” means blood, but combining with “oma” and “macr/o -” doesn't give the meaning of excessive blood flow.
