Question

If neuro refers to the nerves or nervous system, an inflammation of the nerves would be called which of the following?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. neuritis.

Explanation:

The suffix -itis which comes from Greek means inflammation. Since the root neuro refers to the nerves or nervous system, like the question said, it means that the combination of neuro and -itis in neuritis means an inflammation of the nerves.

Neurology is the study of nerves; nervous is the state of being anxious or worried; neuroism doesn't exist in English.
