Paramedic Medical Terminology Practice Test

The combining form bronch- relates to which structure or division?

Bronchi Tracheal division Larynx Alveoli

Correct Answer:

Tracheal division

Explanation:

Bronch- refers to the bronchial passages inside the lungs—the bronchi. This root comes from bronchus, the main airways that branch from the trachea and carry air into each lung, then subdivide into smaller bronchi and bronchioles toward the alveoli. So the best match is the bronchi. The larynx (laryng-) and alveoli (alveol-) use different roots, and while the trachea splits into bronchial passages, the root bronch- specifically denotes the bronchi themselves.
