Explanation:

• Question 28:
• diverticul/o/sis: The suffix “-osis” means abnormal condition. “Diverticul/o” refers to diverticula (out - pouchings). So, this term means an abnormal condition of having out - pouchings (diverticula).
• diverticul/itis: The suffix “-itis” means inflammation. So, this term means inflammation of diverticula.
• cholecyst/itis: “Cholecyst/o” refers to the gallbladder. “-itis” means inflammation. So, this term means inflammation of the gallbladder.
• gastr/oma: “Gastr/o” refers to the stomach. “-oma” means tumor. So, this term means a tumor of the stomach.
• Question 29:
• Hepatitis "K": There is no such standard term for Hepatitis A.
• Infectious Hepatitis: Hepatitis A is mainly transmitted through the fecal - oral route (infectious means it can be spread, often through such routes).
• Blood Hepatitis: This is more associated with Hepatitis B (transmitted through blood).
• Serum Hepatitis: This was an old term for Hepatitis B (related to blood/serum transmission).
• Question 30:
• to taste: “Gustation” is related to the sense of taste. For example, gustatory receptors are taste receptors.
• to eat: This is a more general action of consuming food, not specifically related to the term “gustation”.
• to swallow: This is the action of moving food from the mouth to the esophagus, not related to “gustation”.
• to feed: This is a general act of providing or taking in food, not specifically about the sense of taste.
