What does the prefix "angi-" refer to in medical terminology?

The correct answer is: Vessel

The prefix "angi-" is derived from the Greek word "angeion," which means "vessel." In medical terminology, it specifically refers to blood vessels, including arteries and veins. This prefix is commonly found in terms such as angiogram (an imaging test that uses X-rays to see blood vessels) and angiology (the study of blood vessels and lymphatics). Understanding this prefix is crucial for interpreting medical terms accurately in the context of cardiovascular health and procedures.
