1.1 Fill-in-the-Blank Questions

All answers to questions asking for a combining form must be written in the combining form

cardi/o. All answers to questions asking for a suffix must be written in suffix form, meaning a
hyphen before your answer. For example, the suffix meaning cell is -cyte. All answers to
questions asking for a prefix must be written in prefix form, meaning a hyphen after your
answer. For example, a prefix meaning two is bi-.
Do not capitalize any of your answers or include a period at the end of your answer. The
