Question

question 28
the combining form scolio- means:
○ crooked and bent
○ hooked and twisted
○ sway - back
○ hunch - back

question 29
the word bronchus means:
○ trachea - like
○ windpipe - like
○ respiration
○ side

question 30
the word parts pleuro - and costo - both mean:
○ chest
○ rough or windpipe
○ lung
○ rib, side

Explanation:

• Question 28: The combining form "Scolio -" is related to the medical term "scoliosis", which is a condition where the spine is crooked and bent.
• Question 29: The word "bronchus" is part of the respiratory system. It is like a smaller branch (not exactly trachea - like or windpipe - like in a simple sense). But among the options, "trachea - like" is incorrect as trachea is a different structure. "Windpipe - like" is also not precise. "Respiration" is a process. "Side" is not relevant. However, if we consider the root, bronchus is a passage - like structure (but the options are limited). But in medical terminology, bronchus is a part of the airway system. If we assume the closest in the given options (even if not perfect), we note the etymology.
• Question 30: "Pleuro -" is related to the pleura (which is around the lungs and ribs/side area) and "Costo -" is related to ribs. So both are related to rib/side area.

Answer:

• Question 28: crooked and bent
• Question 29: trachea - like (though not a perfect fit, but among the given options)
• Question 30: Rib, Side
