What does the prefix "cephal-" signify in medical language?

a. Condition
b. Vagina
c. Heart
d. Head

The correct answer is: d. Head

The prefix "cephal-" originates from the Greek word "kephalē," which means "head." In medical terminology, this prefix is used to denote anything pertaining to the head. It is common in terms such as "cephalalgia," which refers to a headache, and "cephalometry," the measurement of the head. The use of "cephal-" indicates a clear connection to head structures or conditions, making it the correct answer in this scenario. The other choices relate to different medical terms and body parts, which do not share this connection to the head.
