Hypophora Definition of Hypophora. A hypophora is a figure of speech in which the speaker both asks a question and immediately answers it. Therefore, a hypophora is not the same as a rhetorical question—which does not necessarily have an answer—as the speaker frames the hypophorical question in order to answer it. Hypophora is often a way of reasoning aloud.

Hypoplasia Hypoplasia (from ancient Greek ὑπo-hypo- , under + πλάσις plasis, formation; adjective form hypoplastic) is underdevelopment or incomplete development of a tissue or organ. Although the term is not always used precisely, it properly refers to an inadequate or below-normal number of cells. Hypoplasia is similar to aplasia, but less severe. It is technically not the opposite of hyperplasia (too many cells). Hypoplasia is a congenital condition, while hyperplasia generally refers to excessive cell growth later in life. (Atrophy, the wasting away of already existing cells, is technically the direct opposite of both hyperplasia and hypertrophy.). Hypoplasia can be present in any tissue or organ.

Hyphema (Bleeding in Eye) Hyphema (Bleeding in Eye) Overview. Blunt trauma to the eye can cause bleeding in the front (or anterior chamber) of the eye between the cornea and the iris. This bleeding into the anterior chamber of the eye is called a hyphema. The anterior chamber of the eye contains a clear liquid fluid called aqueous humor. The aqueous humor is secreted by the ciliary processes in the posterior chamber of the eye. The aqueous humor passes through the pupil into the anterior chamber.
