Which term relates to the nervous system?

• A. Neurologic
• B. Musculoskeletal
• C. Lateral
• D. Occluded

Answer: (A)

Neurologic relates to the nervous system, covering nerves, the brain, and spinal cord and functions like sensation, movement, and reflexes. The term uses neuro- meaning nerve and the adjective form -ic to describe anything pertaining to nerves. That makes it the best fit when the question asks about a term connected to the nervous system, such as in neurologic status or an neurologic exam. In contrast, musculoskeletal refers to muscles and bones, lateral is a directional term describing a side, and occluded means blocked, none of which specifically pertain to the nervous system.
