Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Liver
Concept:

Medical terminology utilizes root words to designate specific anatomical structures.

Solution:

  • The prefix "hepato-" refers to the liver, and the suffix "-itis" indicates inflammation.
  • Therefore, hepatitis is medically defined as the inflammation of the liver, typically caused by a viral infection.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Inflammation of the gall bladder is cholecystitis, spleen is splenitis, and pancreas is pancreatitis.
