Process of viewing the colon?

• A. Colporrhaphy
• B. Coronary
• C. Colonoscopy
• D. Costal

Answer: (C)

Viewing the colon is colonoscopy. The term combines colon, referring to the large intestine, with the suffix -scopy, which means to view or examine with an instrument. So colonoscopy literally means using a scope to examine the colon. This is the best answer because the other terms refer to different structures or actions: colporrhaphy is repair of the vaginal wall, coronary relates to the heart, and costal relates to the ribs. colonoscopy is also the diagnostic procedure commonly used to inspect the colon for polyps, inflammation, or bleeding.
