Which of the following prefixes means "within, into"?

  1. A. In, into, not

  2. B. Above, excessive

  3. C. Within, into

  4. D. Uterus, womb

The correct answer is: C. Within, into

The answer is correct because the prefix that specifically means "within" or "into" is indeed related to the term in question. This prefix is utilized in various medical and anatomical terms, conveying the idea of something that occurs internally or is situated inside. This understanding is crucial for professionals in the medical billing and coding field, as they often encounter such terminology when processing information related to patient records and treatments. The other options represent different prefixes with distinct meanings. For example, a prefix meaning "in, into, not" conveys a sense of negation or location, while prefixes suggesting "above, excessive" relate to an increase or overextension. The prefix related to the uterus pertains to reproductive anatomy, which does not align with the meaning of "within" or "into."
