Myology studies what?

• A. The study of muscles, including structure and function.
• B. The study of bones.
• C. The study of joints.
• D. The study of nerves.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is recognizing that myology focuses on muscles—their structure and how they work to move the body. It covers how muscle fibers are organized into units that contract (the sarcomere with actin and myosin) and how nerves control those contractions. It also explains how muscles attach to bones via tendons, work in pairs to produce movement, and contribute to posture and heat generation during activity. The other areas deal with different parts of the body: bones are studied in osteology, joints in arthrology, and nerves in neurology.
