Which term refers to the small intestine?

Ilio-
Hypo-
Infra-
Ileo-

The correct answer is: Ileo-

The term that refers to the small intestine is "ileum," which is the final portion of the small intestine. The correct prefix "ileo-" specifically indicates a relationship to the ileum. In medical terminology, "ileo-" is used to describe conditions or procedures involving this segment of the digestive tract. In contrast, the other terms listed represent different anatomical or physiological concepts. "Ilio-" can be associated with the ilium, which is the uppermost part of the hip bone, while "hypo-" means beneath or under and doesn't relate to the small intestine. "Infra-" means below or beneath, and, similarly, does not pertain to the digestive system. Understanding these prefixes helps in distinguishing between various body parts and their corresponding functions or conditions in medical coding and billing.
