Question 17

To solve this, we analyze each combining form:

• kypho-: Relates to hump/hunchback (kyphosis is hunchback).
• scolio-: Pertains to lateral curvature of spine.
• kinesio-: Relates to movement.
• lordo-: Relates to lordosis (swayback).

So the correct one is kypho-.

Analyzing each word part:

• caputo-: Not a standard term for skull.
• cranio-: Refers to the skull (e.g., cranium).
• cervico-: Relates to the neck.
• cephalo-: Relates to the head (broader than skull).

So the correct one is cranio-.
