Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -To describe this, you would use the suffix-gram, meaning ‘record’ or ‘picture. ‘ For example, ‘electrocardiogram’ means ‘the record of electrical activity of the heart. ‘ The last of these suffixes dealing with records and recording is-graph which is the ‘instrument used to record or take a picture.
Detailed explanation-2: -More than one word root or combining form can be joined to form medical terms; ELECTROCARDIOGRAM is a good example. ELECTR/O (electric) is joined to CARDI (heart) and the suffix-GRAM (a written record) to form the medical term that means a written record of the heart’s electrical activity.
