Question 1
Which root means with, together?
Correct Answer:
Sym
Explanation:
The form that means with or together is sym-, a variant of the Greek syn- used before b, m, or p to ease pronunciation. It shows up in terms like symbiosis (two things living together), symmetry (things balanced together), and symptom (a sign that accompanies or comes with a disease). The other options don’t convey togetherness: tachy- means fast, tel- (or tele-) relates to distance or end, and sub- means under. So sym- is the one that specifically carries the idea of togetherness.
Question 2
The suffix '-osis' indicates which meaning?
Correct Answer:
Condition of
Explanation:
In medical terminology, suffixes tell you what kind of thing a word describes. The ending -osis signifies a condition, disease, or abnormal state. It’s used in terms like cyanosis, which is a bluish discoloration (a condition of the skin), or leukocytosis, which means an increased white blood cell count (a condition of increased cells). So -osis consistently conveys “condition of.” The other ideas don’t fit because mouth would come from a root like stomato- or stoma, bone from osteo-, and oxygen-related terms use -oxia or oxy-, not the general sense of a condition.
Question 3
Which term from the list means 'break'?
Correct Answer:
Fract
Explanation:
Medical terminology relies on roots that carry core meanings about body parts and processes. The root fract- means to break. It appears in terms like fracture (a break in a bone) and fragment (a piece broken off). In contrast, flex- means to bend, foramen denotes an opening, and gastr- relates to the stomach. So the root that expresses the idea of breaking is fract-.
Question 4
The combining form bronch- relates to which structure or division?
Correct Answer:
Tracheal division
Explanation:
Bronch- refers to the bronchial passages inside the lungs—the bronchi. This root comes from bronchus, the main airways that branch from the trachea and carry air into each lung, then subdivide into smaller bronchi and bronchioles toward the alveoli. So the best match is the bronchi. The larynx (laryng-) and alveoli (alveol-) use different roots, and while the trachea splits into bronchial passages, the root bronch- specifically denotes the bronchi themselves.
Question 5
Which combining form means 'bone'?
Correct Answer:
oste(o)
Explanation:
Bone in medical terms is built with the combining form oste/o. This form is used to connect with suffixes to create terms about bone, such as osteoarthritis, osteopathy, or osteogenesis, and it provides a smooth "oste-" + "o" linkage for pronunciation and spelling. The other options refer to different things: ot(o) pertains to the ear, ov relates to egg or ovum, and os is a Latin root that appears in some bone-related words but is not the standard combining form used to form most bone terms.
