What does the term "convulsion" mean in medical language?

Seizure
Life
Clot
Against

The correct answer is: Seizure

The term "convulsion" in medical language refers to a seizure. A convulsion is a sudden, violent, and involuntary contraction of muscles, often caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizure is the correct term that best describes the meaning of "convulsion" in medical terminology. Options B, C, and D are not correct in this context. "Life" does not relate to convulsion, "clot" refers to a solid or semi-solid mass formed by coagulation of blood, and "against" does not have any direct connection to convulsion in medical terminology.
