29) What does the word part Bucco- mean?
Solution
The answer is the fourth one: Tennis elbow.
Explanation:
Ankylosis: This refers to the stiffness or fusion of a joint, not a tear of tendons.
Gout: This is a type of arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, and redness in the joints, often the big toe, not related to tendon tears.
Subluxation: This is a partial dislocation of a joint, not a tear of tendons.
Tennis elbow: This is a condition caused by the overuse of the elbow, leading to a tear of the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the elbow.
The word part "Bucco-" means "cheek."
Explanation:
"Bucco-" is a prefix used in medical terminology to refer to the cheek or the mouth area. It is derived from the Latin word "bucca," meaning cheek.
