Question

what is a combining form for testes?
○ a. metr/i
○ b. orchid/o
○ c. gonad/o
○ d. cyst/o

Explanation:

To determine the combining form for testes, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "metr/i" is related to the uterus or measure, not testes.
• Option b: "orchid/o" (also spelled "orch/o") is the combining form for testes (testicles).
• Option c: "gonad/o" refers to gonads (which include testes and ovaries), but it's a broader term. The more specific combining form for testes is "orchid/o".
• Option d: "cyst/o" is related to cysts or the urinary bladder, not testes.

Answer:

b. orchid/o
