What body part does the medical root word chordo refer to?

The medical root word chordo refers to the chord(s), which are the strings of a musical instrument or the tendons that attach muscles to bones.

It's important to note that in medical terminology, "chordo" is less commonly used than "chord" itself.

Here are some examples:

* Chordotomy: A surgical procedure to cut the chord(s) of the spinal cord.

* Chorda tympani: A small nerve that carries taste information from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

* Chordae tendineae: The strings of tendon that attach the heart valves to the papillary muscles.

Remember, medical terms can be complex, and context is key. If you're unsure about the meaning of a term, it's always best to consult a reliable medical dictionary or resource.
