Question 54

The prefix "Occiputo - " is a medical term prefix related to the head. Specifically, it refers to the back of the head. "Palm of the hand" is related to terms like "palm - " or "manu - ", "sole of the foot" is related to "plantar - ", and "back of the neck" is related to terms like "nuchal - " or other neck - related prefixes. So the correct meaning of "Occiputo - " is "back of the head".

Gout is a type of arthritis that is caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. Hyperuricemia is a condition where there is a high level of uric acid in the blood, which can lead to the formation of these crystals and thus cause gout. Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, hypotension is low blood pressure, and polycythaemia is an abnormal increase in red blood cells, none of which are the cause of gout.

C. back of the head
