The suffix -graphy denotes which concept?

• A. The process of producing a picture or record
• B. Study of the stomach
• C. Record of the nerves
• D. Measurement of the heart

Answer: (A)

The suffix -graphy denotes a procedure that records or images something. It describes the act of producing a picture or recording of a body part or function. For example, radiography is the imaging of the body with X-rays, angiography images the vessels, and neurography would be recording of nerves. This general idea fits the concept best: it’s about the process of recording or imaging rather than studying something (-logy) or a specific phrase like “record of the nerves” as the meaning of the suffix itself.
