If a medical term contains the prefix "ipsi-," what does it imply?

Same
Between
Within, into
Not cancerous

The correct answer is: Same

The prefix "ipsi-" is derived from Latin, meaning "same" or "on the same side." It is commonly used in medical terminology to indicate that something is occurring on the same side of a structure or body. For example, in terms like "ipsilateral," it specifies relationships or conditions that pertain to the same side of the body or body part. Understanding this prefix helps in accurately interpreting medical terms related to anatomy and clinical conditions, confirming that the correct interpretation aligns with the meaning of "same." Other terms in the options relate to different prefixes with distinct meanings that do not fit the context of "ipsi-."
