Briggs Bridging The Gap (BTG) Medical Interpreter Training Practice Test

Neur(o)- relates to which body system?

Digestive system Endocrine system Respiratory system Nervous system

Correct Answer:

Nervous system

Explanation:

Neur(o)- signals nerves, which are part of the nervous system. In medical terminology, this combining form identifies the body system involved. You’ll see it in terms like neuron, neurology, neuralgia, and neuropathy — all nerve-related concepts. That’s why it points to the nervous system rather than digestion, respiration, or endocrine processes (which use different roots such as gastr/o, pneumon/o, or hormon/o).
