Question

question 6 (10 points) which of the following statements is not true about the root /lith/o? 1) it means stone and in a urology context, it refers to an accumulation of mineral salts and calcium. 2) some health care professions translate it as calculus, which means \little rocks.\ 3) when combined with the root cysto (cysto/lith), it refers to a stone in the bladder. 4) when combined with the root nephr/o (nephrolith), it means kidney stone. 5) when combined with the root ureter/o (ureterolith), it means a stone in the urine.

Explanation:

In urology, the root -lith/o refers to a stone. When combined with nephr/o (nephrolith), it means a kidney stone; with ureter/o (ureterolith), it means a stone in the ureter; with cysto (cystolith), it means a stone in the bladder. Calculus is also translated as a stone in medical terms and is related to the accumulation of mineral salts and calcium. The statement about "little rocks" as a translation of calculus is inaccurate as calculus in this context refers to a solid concretion (stone - like formation) rather than just "little rocks".

Answer:

1. Some health care professions translate it as calculus, which means "little rocks."
