Question

question 10 (10 points) which of these is the correct breakdown and translation of the medical term steatoma? 1) steat(fat) + oma(hernia) = hernia filled with fatty tissue 2) steat(fat) + oma(tumor) = fatty tumor 3) steat(oil) + oma(hernia) = hernia filled with oil 4) steat(pus) + oma(formation) = pus formation 5) steat(pus) + oma(tumor) = tumor filled with pus

Explanation:

To determine the correct breakdown and translation of "steatoma", we analyze the medical word roots:

• "steat-" comes from the Greek word for "fat" (not oil, pus, etc.).
• "-oma" is a suffix meaning "tumor" (or mass, growth) in medical terminology (not hernia or formation in this context).

So, "steat" (fat) + "oma" (tumor) translates to "fatty tumor", which matches option 2.

Answer:

1. steat (fat) + oma (tumor) = fatty tumor
