• "Neur -" refers to nerve, so "neur/itis" is nerve inflammation.
• "Gangl -" refers to ganglion, so "gangl/itis" is ganglion inflammation.
• "Mening -" refers to meninges, so "mening/itis" is meninges inflammation.
• Question 131:
• The prefix "quadri -" (e.g., quadrangle - a four - sided figure) and "tetra -" (e.g., tetrahedron - a four - faced solid) both mean four.
• "Half" is represented by prefixes like "hemi -".
