2. Colo

Explanation

The correct answer is "colon". The word "colo" seems to be a truncated form of "colon", which is a part of the digestive system. This makes sense in the context of the other options given, such as "brain" and "lung", which are unrelated to the digestive system. Therefore, "colon" is the most logical choice among the given options.

Submit
3. Broncho

Explanation

The correct answer is "bronchus" because it is the singular form of the word "bronchi" which refers to the main passageways that direct air into the lungs. The other options, such as "bladder" and "blood," are unrelated to the respiratory system and do not fit the context of the given words.

Submit
4. Rhino

Explanation

The given words "rhino, nose, tooth, eye" form a sequence of body parts. The word "nose" fits this pattern as it is a body part, just like "tooth" and "eye". The word "rhino" is the odd one out in this sequence as it is not a body part. Therefore, "nose" is the correct answer.

7. Cardio

Explanation

The correct answer is "heart" because cardio is a prefix that relates to the heart. The term "cardio" is commonly used in medical and scientific contexts to refer to anything related to the heart or cardiovascular system. Therefore, out of the given options, the heart is the most appropriate answer that aligns with the term "cardio."

Submit
8. Derma

Explanation

The term "derma" refers to the skin, which is the largest organ of the body. It is responsible for protecting the underlying tissues and organs, regulating body temperature, and providing sensory information. The other options, bone and tendon, are not related to the term "derma" and do not match its definition. Therefore, the correct answer is skin.

Submit
9. Tracheo

Explanation

The correct answer is trachea. The trachea is a tube-like structure in the respiratory system that connects the larynx to the bronchi and allows air to pass through. It is commonly known as the windpipe and is responsible for carrying air to and from the lungs. The other options listed, such as lung and heart, are not correct because they are organs within the body and not specifically related to the trachea.

Submit
10. Colo

Explanation

The correct answer is "Colon." The question appears to be asking for a term related to the digestive system, specifically the large intestine. The options given are "Colo," "Stomache," "Colon," and "Cardio." Out of these options, only "Colon" is a correct term that refers to the part of the digestive system responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes, forming stool, and eliminating waste from the body.

Submit
11. Cerebro

Explanation

The correct answer is brain because cerebro is the Spanish word for brain.

The brain is involved in various functions such as thinking, memory, perception, and controlling bodily movements.

Submit
13. Aero

Explanation

The correct answer is "air" because it is the only word in the given list that is related to the concept of "aero" which typically refers to something related to aviation or aerospace. The other words in the list do not have a direct connection to "aero" or the field of aviation.

Submit
14. Chole

Explanation

Bile is the correct answer because it is a substance produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. Chole, blood, and air are not directly related to the production and function of bile.

Submit
15. Prefix

Explanation

The correct answer is "beginning" because a prefix is a group of letters added at the beginning of a word to change its meaning or create a new word. In this case, "begining" is misspelled, and the correct spelling is "beginning," which refers to the start or initial part of something.

Submit
16. Lipo

Explanation

The word "lipo" is commonly used as a prefix in medical terms to refer to fat or fatty tissue. In this case, "lipo" is followed by the word "fat," which further reinforces the connection. The other words listed, such as "cell" and "stone," do not have the same association with fat, making "fat" the most appropriate answer.

Submit
17. Arthro

Explanation

The word "arthro" is a prefix that means "joint." The word "joint" is a noun that refers to the point where two bones meet. Therefore, "joint" is the correct answer as it directly relates to the given words "arthro" and "rib," which indicate joint and pain respectively.

42. Costo

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
43. Sub

Explanation

The correct answer is "under, beneath" because both words convey the meaning of something being positioned below or lower than something else. They are used to describe a spatial relationship where one object or thing is located beneath or below another object or thing.

Submit
44. Chondro/io

Explanation

Cartilage is the correct answer because it is a type of connective tissue that provides support and flexibility to various parts of the body, including the joints.

Tendons, on the other hand, are fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones, while joints are the points where two or more bones meet.

Explanation

The correct answer is uterus. The term "hyster" is derived from the Greek word "hystera" which means uterus.

Submit
46. Genic

Explanation

The word "origin" is the correct answer because it is the only option that makes sense in the given context. The other words - "genic," "study of," and "flow" - do not provide a clear connection or explanation for the given words. "Origin" refers to the beginning or source of something, which fits well with the words "genic," "study of," and "flow."

Submit
47. Hepat

Explanation

The correct answer is liver because hepat is a root word that refers to the liver. The other options, bladder and lung, do not have any connection to the root word hepat. Therefore, liver is the most appropriate answer.

57. Para

Explanation

The word "beside" means next to or alongside something. It indicates a close proximity or adjacency. Similarly, the word "near" also means close to or in close proximity to something.

Submit
61. Rrhage

Explanation

Out of the given options, "flow" is the most appropriate answer as it is the opposite of "blockage" and is commonly associated with the movement of fluids in the body. "rrhage" could be a misspelling of "hemorrhage", which further supports the idea of flow being the correct answer.

Submit
62. Dys

Explanation

The term "dys" is a prefix that means "difficult" or "painful." Therefore, when combined with the word "painful," it creates the meaning of experiencing or causing pain.
