Level 1 Nursing Medical Terminology Practice Test

The prefix Supra- means which of the following?

Below Above Between Around

Correct Answer:

Above

Explanation:

Supra- means above or over. In medical terminology, prefixes describe where something sits in relation to another structure, and supra- signals an upper position. You can think of terms like suprarenal glands (above the kidneys) or supraclavicular area (above the clavicle) to see this idea in action. By contrast, sub- means below, inter- means between, and peri- means around. So the meaning of supra- in this question is above.
