Which of the following terms is constructed with a prefix that means 'below' or 'under'?
Hyperglycemia
Abduct
Hypodermic
Subcutaneous
The term 'subcutaneous' is constructed with the prefix 'sub-', which means 'below' or 'under'. It refers to the area beneath the skin. The prefix 'hypo-' means 'under', but 'hypodermic' relates to the region immediately beneath the skin and is often confused with 'subcutaneous'. However, 'sub-' is the precise prefix for 'below' or 'under'. 'Hyperglycemia' and 'abduct' do not contain prefixes that mean 'below' or 'under'. 'Hyper-' means 'over, above, or excessive', and 'ab-' means 'away from' or 'absence of'.
