Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adhesion is the medical term used to describe the linking of two surfaces by fibrous scars. This can occur as a complication of surgery, infection, or inflammation, and can cause organs or tissues to stick together, potentially leading to pain, bowel obstruction, or other problems. Hernias (B) occur when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weakened area of muscle or connective tissue. Intussusception (C) is a rare condition in which one part of the intestine "telescopes" into another part, causing a blockage. Volvulus (D) occurs when a portion of the intestine twists abnormally, cutting off blood supply to that portion and potentially leading to tissue damage and death.
