What is the scientific study of bones called?

  1. Cardiology

  2. Osteology

  3. Dermatology

  4. Neurology

The correct answer is: Osteology

Bones are an important structure in our bodies that provide support, movement and protection to the organs. Therefore, there is a specific field of study dedicated to understanding the structure, function and diseases related to bones, called osteology. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they are medical fields that focus on the study of the heart, skin, and nervous system respectively, rather than bones. Therefore, they are not as relevant to the study of bones as osteology is.
