Answer 1

Medical language is made up primarily, but not exclusively, of words taken from two ancient languages : Greek and Latin is true.  

Explanation:

The term is medical is used to describe human body . Although we can obtain medical terms from lots of language, but most of them are derived from Latin and Greek.The clinical terms such as( cardiology, gastritis) are derived from Greek language but the anatomical terms such as( cor, ventricles) terms are mainly derived from Latin language. The other sources of medical words are acronyms and modern language.

When Greece was conquered by Romans the language as well as the knowledge of both the cultures were mixed and thus new medical terms were discovered.
