Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of combining forms: Combining forms are used in medical terminology to describe anatomical structures or functions. They often consist of a root word and a combining vowel (e.g., 'aden/o').
Break down the combining form 'aden/o': The root 'aden' refers to a gland, and the combining vowel 'o' is used to connect it to other word parts.
Recall the definition of a gland: A gland is an organ that produces and releases substances such as hormones, enzymes, or other secretions. Examples include the thyroid gland, salivary glands, and adrenal glands.
Compare the options provided: The options include nerve, gland, bone, and muscle. Based on the combining form 'aden/o,' the correct anatomical structure is 'gland.'
Apply this knowledge to future problems: Recognizing combining forms like 'aden/o' can help identify anatomical structures and functions in medical terminology questions.
