Question

the following combining form means gland. pancreat/o aden/o cyst/o arthr/o

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each combining form:

• pancreat/o: Refers to the pancreas (an organ, not specifically "gland" in general).
• aden/o: The combining form "aden/o" means gland (e.g., adenoma is a tumor of a gland).
• cyst/o: Refers to a cyst (a sac - like structure, not gland).
• arthr/o: Refers to joints (not gland).

Answer:

B. aden/o (assuming the options are labeled A: pancreat/o, B: aden/o, C: cyst/o, D: arthr/o)
