Which body system is primarily related to "arthro" terminology?

  1. Cardiovascular

  2. Digestive

  3. Respiratory

  4. Skeletal

The correct answer is: Skeletal

The correct answer is D, Skeletal. The prefix "arthro-" is commonly used in medical terminology to refer to joints. The term "arthrology" is the study of joints, and conditions related to the joints are often described using this prefix. This makes the skeletal system the most closely related body system to the "arthro" terminology. The other options (A. Cardiovascular, B. Digestive, and C. Respiratory) are not primarily associated with joint-related terminology but rather focus on other aspects of the human body such as the heart, digestion, and the respiratory system.
