Does cytoitis refer to inflammation of a cell?
The term "cytoitis" does not refer to inflammation of a cell. The word "cyto-" is often used in biology to refer to cells, but the suffix "-itis" is typically used to indicate inflammation. Some examples of conditions that end with "-itis" and indicate inflammation include bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchi), dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), and gastritis (inflammation of the stomach).
In medicine, the term "cytology" is used to refer to the study of cells, and "cytologist" refers to a medical professional who specializes in the study of cells.
