I just took the test and got a 100%
Well if your smart then you should only be using it as reference (in this case some people want to graduate already since this only an elective). But the test isn't hard only if you suck at prefixes and suffixes though.
Cheating gets you nowhere in life.
which is a combining form, not a prefix or a suffix?
A. Epithelial
B. Connective
C. Plasma
1. Correct. The correct answer is C. Plasma tissue. To determine this, you need to have basic knowledge of the different tissue types. Epithelial tissue, connective tissue, and nerve tissue are all types of tissues found in the body. Plasma tissue, on the other hand, is not a recognized tissue type.
2. Correct. The correct answer is A. Thoracic. To answer this question, you need to understand the anatomical terms and their associations. The thoracic cavity is the region of the body that houses the lungs.
3. Correct. The correct answer is A. Superficial/deep. To determine this, you need to understand the different anatomical terms used to describe the position of body parts. Superior/inferior refers to higher/lower, while superficial/deep refers to closer to the surface/further inside.
4. Correct. The correct answer is B. Study of stomach and intestinal disorders that strike the aged. To determine this, you need to break down the word "gerontogastroenteroepidemiology" into its root words. From there, you can deduce the meaning. In this case, "geronto-" refers to the aged, "gastroentero-" refers to the stomach and intestines, and "epidemiology" refers to the study of epidemics.
5. Correct. The correct answer is A. is not subject to voluntary control. To determine this, you need to understand the definition of autonomic and its association with the nervous system. Autonomic refers to processes that occur involuntarily, such as respiration, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
6. Correct. The correct answer is D. RETRO. To determine this, you need to recognize the difference between combining forms, prefixes, and suffixes. A combining form is a word part that can be added to other word parts but cannot stand alone as a complete word.
7. Incorrect. The correct answer is A. Prefix, root, suffix. To determine this, you need to understand the structure of medical terms. In most medical terms, the prefix comes before the root and the suffix comes after the root.
8. Correct. The correct answer is D. HYPER-. To determine this, you need to understand the meaning of the prefix "hyper-", which indicates excessive or above normal.
9. Correct. The correct answer is B. transverse. To determine this, you need to understand the different anatomical planes used in the body. A transverse plane divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions.
10. Correct. The correct answer is D. Zygomatics. To determine this, you need to have basic knowledge of organelles, which are structures within cells. The zygomatics are not organelles, but rather bones in the face.
11. Correct. The correct answer is D. Adjective suffixes meaning "pertaining to." To determine this, you need to understand the different types of suffixes and their functions. The suffixes ac, al, ary, and ic are all adjective suffixes that indicate "pertaining to" when attached to a root word.
12. Correct. The correct answer is C. Lateral. To determine this, you need to understand the directional terms used in anatomy. Lateral refers to the side, while medial refers to the middle.
13. Correct. The correct answer is B. Chromosomes. To determine this, you need to understand the term "karyotype." A karyotype is a picture of a person's chromosomes, not just a cell or organelles.
14. Correct. The correct answer is A. CNS. To determine this, you need to understand the meaning of the given abbreviations. CNS stands for central nervous system, which is not something you will find in the body.
15. Incorrect. The correct answer is A. Colostrum. Colostrum is the protein- and antibody-rich milk that a mother secretes after giving birth. Estrus refers to the reproductive cycle in animals, gravid refers to being pregnant, and parturition refers to the act of giving birth.
16. Correct. The correct answer is A. Zoonosis. To determine this, you need to understand the term "zoonosis." A zoonosis is a disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans.
17. Correct. The correct answer is B. UTER/O. To determine this, you need to recognize the meaning of the given root words. METR/O, HYSTER/O, and PELVIC/O all refer to the female womb, but UTER/O refers to the uterus in both males and females.
18. Correct. The correct answer is D. Face directed straight ahead. To determine this, you need to understand the anatomical position. In the anatomical position, the face is directed forward, not straight ahead.
19. Incorrect. The correct answer is A. "Ectomy." To determine this, you need to recognize the meaning of the given suffixes. "Ectomy" refers to the surgical removal of a body part, while "itis" refers to inflammation, "osis" refers to a condition or state, and "cision" refers to a cutting or incision.
20. Correct. The correct answer is A. A separating into parts. To determine this, you need to understand the meaning of the word "analysis." Analysis refers to the process of separating something into its parts for examination or study.
