Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Osteoarthritis
Concept:

Pathologies of the skeletal system.

Formula:

N/A (Conceptual)

Solution:

  • The suffix -itis denotes inflammation. Arthritis broadly means joint inflammation.


  • Osteoarthritis is a specific, progressive degenerative disease where articular cartilage softens and disintegrates, leading to severe joint inflammation.


Why other options are incorrect:

Osteoporosis is a loss of bone density due to calcium/estrogen depletion. Arteriosclerosis affects blood vessels (hardening of arteries). Osteosclerosis is abnormal hardening of bone tissue.
