Which prefix corresponds to tissue?

• A. Hist(o)
• B. Gyn
• C. Hemo
• D. Hydro

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that prefixes in medical terms point to the body part or substance involved, and hist/o specifically means tissue. That’s why terms like histology are about studying tissues, and histopathology is about diseased tissue. The other prefixes point to something else: gyn- refers to female reproductive systems, hemo- to blood, and hydro- to water. So hist(o) is the best fit for tissue.
