Explanation:

Question 4

To break down "osteochondroma", we analyze medical word roots: "osteo-" (bone), "chondr-" (cartilage), "oma" (tumor). So the correct breakdown is osteo/chondr/oma.

• "carp/o" refers to the wrist.
• "kinesi/o" refers to movement.
• "spondyl/o" refers to vertebra.
• "tax/o" means arrangement, order, coordination.
• "ton/o" refers to tension. So the root for arrangement is tax/o.

Answer:

1. osteo/chondr/oma
