Question

multiple choice question in some anatomical terms, the prefix ____ is used because it means scale? o strat- o squam- o adip- o neur-

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each prefix:

• "strat -" relates to layers (e.g., stratified), not scale.
• "squam -" comes from Latin "squama" meaning scale (e.g., squamous cells, which are scale - like).
• "adip -" relates to fat (e.g., adipose tissue).
• "neur -" relates to nerves (e.g., neuron).

So the prefix meaning "scale" is "squam -".

Answer:

O squam-
