The prefix 'hyster-' refers to which anatomical structure?

  1. Small intestine

  2. Hip bone

  3. Uterus, womb

  4. Condition

The correct answer is: Uterus, womb

The prefix 'hyster-' is derived from the Greek word 'hystera,' which translates to 'uterus' or 'womb.' This prefix is commonly used in medical terminology to denote conditions or anatomical references related to the uterus. For example, terms like 'hysterectomy' (surgical removal of the uterus) and 'hysteroscopy' (a procedure that allows a physician to examine the inside of the uterus) prominently feature this prefix. Thus, the correct answer reflects the specific anatomical structure associated with the prefix 'hyster-.'
