Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: The combining form mamm/o also means breast. The meanings of the other combining forms are oophor/o, ovary; colp/o, vagina; hyster/o, uterus; and orchid/o, testis or testicle.

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: Construct this term utilizing the information in the question. The root for blood is hem, and the suffix used is -lysis, meaning loosen or dissolve, which is what occurs when the red blood cell membrane ruptures. The other suffixes do not relate at all to the question: -philia is affinity for, -oma is tumor, and -stasis is standing still.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
