Labio- (Labio-)

Labio- is a prefix in medical terminology that means “lip” or “lips”.

This prefix comes from the Latin word "labium", which literally translates as "lip". It is used to form anatomical and clinical terms related to the lips.

For example:

1. Labial - relating to the lips.

2. Labioglossal - relating to the lips and tongue.

3. Labionasal - pertaining to the lips and nose.

4. Labiopalatal - relating to the lips and hard palate.

5. Labioscopy - examination of the lips using a labioscope (special instrument).

Thus, the prefix labio- is used in medical terminology to indicate the relationship to the lips in anatomical structures, procedures, and diseases. It helps to accurately determine the localization and associate the term with the lips.

In medical and biological terminology, the prefixes “labio-,” are very common, denoting the lower or upper lip. Since in medicine the medical dictionary is a very important tool, if one can say iconic, the names of the additions must be completely clear and reliable. And certainly neat, so that the term “labial” reaches the most stupid labiologists, whether it’s for a stamp in medicine, or following new ideas in the administration.
