What does 'osteo' imply?

Muscle
Joint
Bone
Tissue

The correct answer is: Bone

'Osteo' is a prefix that comes from the Greek word 'osteon' which means 'bone'. Therefore, it implies the study or presence of bones. Option A refers to the study of muscles, option B refers to the presence of joints, and option D refers to the study of tissues, none of which are directly related to 'osteo'. Therefore, they are incorrect options.
