myel/o: Spinal Cord

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The combining form myel slash o also names the spinal cord, an entirely different structure from bone marrow.

Show

Myelitis may name inflammation of the spinal cord or of bone marrow.

Watch for

One combining form, two structures. Here context does the work the word part cannot.
