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.
