Answer:

It is important to learn the prefixes and suffixes because it not only helps in improving the reading but it can also help to understand the term itself

In medical field, if u just learn the prefixes and suffixes and their meaning (because they are either Greek or Latin words), you don't need to memorize all the names of diseases and other terminology because you understand the components. For example 1 prefix or suffix can be used in many other places :

The suffix "genesis" is a Greek word, meaning to produce something. It can be used in many terms

  • Osteogenesis
  • Gametogensis
  • Pathogensis

In all  these words, we know something is being produced, even if we don't know the word, it gives us a hint.!

Itll be smarter to know the affixes instead because then you can infer what the meaning is instead of having to memorize words

which therapeutic system is based on administration of extremely diluted doses of natural agents that would produce symptoms of
Romashka [77]

The homeopathic system is based on the administration of extremely diluted doses of natural agents that produce symptoms in large doses but are believed to produce a cure when given in minute doses.

Homeopathy is a type of complementary medicine that uses incredibly diluted medications to heal patients. It was initially put forth by German physician Samuel Hahnemann in 1976. Homeopaths prepare homoeopathic remedies by shaking them with a hard blow after each dilution, a process known as succession. They do this in the hopes that the treatment would be more effective. This is what homoeopaths refer to as potentization. Often, dilution goes on until no original ingredients are left. The next step is to consult repertories, which are homoeopathic reference books, and choose a remedy based on the full spectrum of symptoms.

The complete question is:

Which therapeutic system is based on the administration of extremely diluted doses of natural agents that produce symptoms in large doses but are believed to produce a cure when given in minute doses?

 A) herbal

 B) homeopathic

 C) naturopathic

 D) chiropractic

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

<em>C.)</em><em> Snap-a-ray</em>

Explanation:

The bisecting angle technique is used for dental radiography based on the principle of projecting the x-ray beam at the right angle. It is non-intrusive and the patient is awake while it is happening. A hemostat is not necessary since this is a scanning technique and the bite block isn't either since the patient needs to have his or her mouth open.
