If a term in medical terminology contains "emia," what does it relate to?

  1. In the blood

  2. Away or free from

  3. Cough up

  4. High; above normal

The correct answer is: In the blood

When a term in medical terminology contains "emia," it is related to the blood. The suffix "emia" is derived from the Greek word "haima," which means blood. Medical conditions ending in "emia" typically refer to a presence or condition in the blood. Options B, C, and D are not correct in this context: - "Away or free from" is not the correct association with the suffix "emia." - "Cough up" is not related to the blood or the suffix "emia." - "High; above normal" is not the correct interpretation of the suffix "emia" in medical terminology.
