In medical terminology, the prefix "gaster-" refers to which body part?

  1. Liver

  2. Stomach

  3. Intestine

  4. Lung

The correct answer is: Stomach

The correct answer is "stomach" because the prefix "gaster-" originates from the Greek word "gaster," which specifically means stomach or belly. This prefix is commonly used in medical terms, such as "gastroenterology," which is the study of the stomach and intestines. Understanding this prefix can help in interpreting various medical contexts where it is used to describe conditions, procedures, or anatomical references related to the stomach. The other options, while significant organs, do not share this particular prefix connection.
