1. glycohemoglobin

1. hypercrinism

1. pancreatalgia

Explanation:

Analyze the sample pattern

Using the Medical Terminology and Word Part Breakdown knowledge points, we examine the sample breakdown provided in the image:

• Term: hypergastri-algia (implied from parts)
• Word parts: "hyper-", "gastr is gastr/o", "-algia"
• Meaning breakdown: "hyper- excessive, increased", "gastr/o, stomach", "-algia pain, suffering"
• The question asks to complete the breakdown of the given medical terms into their component word parts (prefix, combining form/word root, suffix) in the three boxes provided for each term.

Break down "Onychocryptosis"

Using the Medical Terminology and Word Part Breakdown knowledge points:

• onych/o: combining form meaning nail.
• crypt: word root meaning hidden.
• -osis: suffix meaning abnormal condition or disease.
• The three component parts are: onych/o, crypt, and -osis.

Break down "Glycohemoglobin"

Using the Medical Terminology and Word Part Breakdown knowledge points:

• glyc/o: combining form meaning glucose, sugar.
• hem/o: combining form meaning blood (or hemoglobin as a whole root, but standard medical terminology breaks it down as glyc/o, hem/o, -globin).
• -globin: suffix/word part referring to protein.
• Thus, the three component parts are: glyc/o, hem/o, and -globin.

Break down "Hypercrinism"

Using the Medical Terminology and Word Part Breakdown knowledge points:

• hyper-: prefix meaning excessive, increased.
• crin: word root meaning to secrete.
• -ism: suffix meaning condition, state of.
• The three component parts are: hyper-, crin, and -ism.

Break down "Pancreatalgia"

Using the Medical Terminology and Word Part Breakdown knowledge points:

• pancreat: word root meaning pancreas (or pancreat/o).
• -algia: suffix meaning pain, suffering.
• Since there are three boxes, we can represent the parts as: pancreat, -, and -algia (or pancreat/o and -algia with one box left blank/unused, but standard breakdown uses pancreat and -algia). Let's provide the standard component parts: pancreat, -, -algia.
