The prefix Neuro- denotes which?

The prefix Neuro- denotes which?

• A. Odor
• B. Nerve (Nervous System)
• C. Change
• D. Hair

Answer: (B)

Neuro- points to the nerves or the nervous system. It comes from a Greek root meaning nerve, so terms with neuro- describe nerve-related structures or functions, such as neuron, neurological, neuropathy, or neurology. If you think of odor, that uses a different root like olfact- (olfactory). Hair uses roots like pil- or tricho-, and change is shown with morph- or meta- in terms like metamorphosis. So neuro- is specifically about nerves and the nervous system.
