Explanation:

Question 56

The prefix "atelo - " in medical terminology (and etymology - related studies) means "incomplete". "Arteriole" is a small artery, "blood serum" is a component of blood, and "vein" is a blood - carrying vessel, none of which match the meaning of "atelo - ".

The prefix "phlebo - " is related to veins. "Blood" is a general term, "artery" is a different type of blood vessel, and "vessel" is a general term for a tube - like structure, but "phlebo - " specifically refers to veins.
