Question

which of the following are combining forms for urine? (more than one answer may be correct) urin/o ur/o ureter uria

Explanation:

• urin/o: This combining form is related to urine (e.g., urinalysis, where "urin/o" combines with "-lysis" meaning breakdown, related to analyzing urine).
• ur/o: This is a common combining form for urine (e.g., urology, the study of the urinary system, where "ur/o" relates to urine and the urinary tract).
• ureter: This is a noun referring to the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder, not a combining form for urine.
• uria: This is a suffix (e.g., hematuria, meaning blood in the urine), not a combining form (combining forms typically have a root + /o, while suffixes are added to roots).

Answer:

A. urin/o, B. ur/o
