Verified step by step guidance

Understand the question: The problem asks for the term that refers to the rupture of a muscle. To solve this, we need to analyze the meaning of each term provided and identify the correct one.

Define each term: Myalgia refers to muscle pain ('algia' means pain). Myopathy refers to a disease or disorder of the muscle ('pathy' means disease). Myositis refers to inflammation of the muscle ('itis' means inflammation). Myorrhexis refers to the rupture of a muscle ('rrhexis' means rupture).

Focus on the suffixes: In medical terminology, suffixes are key to understanding the meaning of a term. The suffix '-rrhexis' specifically indicates rupture, which matches the description in the question.

Eliminate incorrect options: Based on the definitions, Myalgia, Myopathy, and Myositis do not describe muscle rupture. This leaves Myorrhexis as the correct term.

Conclude: The term 'Myorrhexis' is the correct answer because it directly refers to the rupture of a muscle, as indicated by the suffix '-rrhexis'.
