Before, in front of

The correct answer is: Before, in front of

The prefix "ante-" in medical terminology signifies "before" or "in front of." This term is derived from Latin and is commonly used in various medical contexts to indicate something that occurs prior to another event or is located in a position ahead of something else. For instance, in the term "antepartum," it refers to the period before childbirth. This prefix is an important element in understanding medical terms that describe timing or position in relation to conditions, procedures, or anatomical structures. Understanding such prefixes enhances comprehension of medical vocabulary and the relationships between different medical concepts.
