orth/o
13 bronchus
select match
Brief Explanations
To solve this medical terminology matching problem, we use knowledge of word roots:
- "paralysis" relates to nerve - related conditions, and the root "pleg/o" (or in some cases, the suffix -lysis combined with the root for paralysis, but more accurately, the root for paralysis - related terms is "pleg/o" or the root for the condition. However, in common medical term roots, "paral-" comes from Greek "paralusis" and the root for paralysis in terms of word roots for matching here (assuming standard medical term roots) - the correct root for paralysis (as a match) would be "pleg/o" (but since the options here, let's check the context. Wait, maybe the intended match for "paralysis" is "pleg/o" but in the given options, maybe there was a typo or missing, but looking at the other matches:
- "nose" matches "rhin/o" (correct, as "rhin-" is the root for nose, e.g., rhinoplasty).
- "chest" matches "thorac/o" (correct, as "thorac-" is the root for chest, e.g., thoracotomy).
- "straight" matches "orth/o" (correct, as "orth-" means straight or correct, e.g., orthodontics).
- For "paralysis", the correct root is "pleg/o" (but if we assume the options were supposed to have it, or maybe a misprint. But based on the given, let's focus on the clear ones first. Wait, maybe the user is asking for the match of "paralysis". In medical terminology, the root for paralysis is "pleg/o" (from Greek "plege" meaning stroke, and paralysis can be related to "plegia"). But if we consider the options, maybe there was a mistake, but if we have to match, the correct root for paralysis is "pleg/o" (but since the option says "Select match", we need to know the possible roots. Alternatively, maybe the intended root is "pleg/o" or "paral-" but in standard word roots, "pleg/o" is for paralysis (e.g., hemiplegia).
For "bronchus", the correct root is "bronch/o" (e.g., bronchitis).
But let's handle each:
- nose - rhin/o (correct as given)
- paralysis - The correct root is "pleg/o" (or if there was an option, but since it's "Select match", we identify the root for paralysis is "pleg/o" (from medical terminology: word root for paralysis is pleg/o, as in hemiplegia (half - paralysis), paraplegia (paralysis of lower limbs), etc.)
- chest - thorac/o (correct as given)
- straight - orth/o (correct as given)
- bronchus - bronch/o (so the match for bronchus is bronch/o)
