Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the root word 'hemat/o' in the question. In medical terminology, root words often indicate the primary meaning of a term.
Recall that 'hemat/o' is derived from the Greek word 'haima,' which means blood. This root is commonly used in terms related to blood, such as 'hematology' (the study of blood).
Eliminate the incorrect options by matching the root 'hemat/o' with its meaning. For example, 'muscle' corresponds to the root 'my/o,' 'nerve' corresponds to 'neur/o,' and 'bone' corresponds to 'oste/o.'
Confirm that the correct translation of 'hemat/o' is 'blood' based on its etymology and usage in medical terminology.
Select 'Blood' as the correct answer and understand that recognizing root words is essential for interpreting medical terms accurately.
