Which medical root word refers to the intestines?

Cerebrum
Enter/o
Cell
Fetus

The correct answer is: Enter/o

The medical root word that refers to the intestines is "enter/o." This term originates from the Greek word "entera," which means intestines. In medical terminology, "enter/o" is commonly used as a prefix or combining form in words related to the intestines, such as enteritis (inflammation of the intestines) and enteroscopy (a procedure to examine the intestines). Understanding these root words is essential for professionals in the healthcare field, as they provide clarity and a common language for discussing various anatomical structures and medical conditions. The other terms provided do not pertain to the intestines. "Cerebrum" relates to the brain, "cell" refers to the basic unit of life, and "fetus" refers to a developing human after the embryonic stage. Each of these roots addresses different anatomical or biological concepts, distinguishing them from "enter/o," which specifically pertains to the intestines.
