Which prefix signifies "ileum (small intestine)"?

A. Within, into
B. In, into, not
C. Ileum (small intestine)
D. Uterus, womb

The correct answer is: C. Ileum (small intestine)

The prefix that signifies "ileum (small intestine)" is indeed associated with the term "ileum," making it the correct choice. The ileum is the final section of the small intestine, playing a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. This term directly references the anatomical structure of the ileum itself. The other options do not correlate with the meaning of "ileum." The first choice refers to prefixes that imply direction or movement, such as "within" or "into." The second option encompasses prefixes that indicate negation or direction but do not relate to the digestive system. The last choice refers to reproductive anatomy, specifically the uterus and womb, which is unrelated to the small intestine's function or terminology. Therefore, the focus on "ileum" in the correct option aligns perfectly with its anatomical significance.
