  1. The answer is the second one: cranio-.
    Explanation:
  • Caputo-: This is not a standard prefix in medical terminology related to the skull.
  • Cranio-: This prefix refers to the skull. It is used in terms like "craniotomy" (surgical opening of the skull).
  • Cervico-: This prefix refers to the neck or the cervix, not the skull.
  • Cephalo-: This prefix refers to the head, but not specifically to the skull.
  1. The answer is: upper GI series.
    Explanation:
  • Lower GI series: This involves X-ray imaging of the lower gastrointestinal tract, including the colon and rectum, typically using a barium enema.
  • Anastomosis: This term refers to a surgical connection between two structures, such as blood vessels or loops of intestine, and is not related to X-ray imaging.
  • The correct term for a series of X-ray films taken of the stomach and duodenum after barium has been swallowed is an "upper GI series." However, this option is not listed in the question.
