Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand that anatomical terminology often uses word parts (prefixes, roots, and suffixes) to describe locations, directions, or relationships in the body.
Step 2: Recognize that 'anter/o' is a root word commonly used in anatomy to refer to the front or anterior aspect of the body.
Step 3: Compare 'anter/o' with other directional terms such as 'poster/o' (back), 'later/o' (side), and 'medi/o' (middle) to understand its specific meaning.
