The term used to describe hair loss conditions across the body is called:

• A. Capillary hemangioma
• B. Anhidrosis
• C. Visual acuity
• D. Alopecia

Answer: (D)

Hair loss across the body is described by the term alopecia. This medical term covers loss of hair from the scalp and other parts of the body, and it can range from patchy areas to widespread or total body hair loss (such as alopecia universalis). The other terms refer to different conditions entirely: capillary hemangioma is a vascular birthmark, anhidrosis is the absence of sweating, and visual acuity measures how clearly a person can see.
