Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The combining form "lymphangi/o" specifically refers to lymph vessels, therefore the correct choice is D, "vessel". Choice C, "lymph" is close but not specific enough to the meaning of the combining form. Choices A and B, "tumor" and "flesh" respectively, are unrelated to the meaning of the combining form.
