Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A fistula is an abnormal connection or passage that forms between two structures, such as between two organs, between an organ and the skin surface, or between two parts of the intestines. It can be the result of an injury, infection, or other medical conditions. A duct is a tube-shaped structure that carries fluid, while a vessel is a tube that carries blood. An abscess is a localized collection of pus, and a fissure is a narrow opening or crack in tissue.
