Which term means study of the ear, nose, and voice box?

A) otonasolaryngology
B) otorhinolaryngology
C) otonasopharyngology
D) otorhinolaryngologist


B
Explanation: Ot/o means ear, rhin/o means nose, laryng/o means voice box, and -logy means study of; hence, otorhinolaryngology means study of the ear, nose, and voice box. Nas/o does mean nose, but otonasolaryngology is not the term commonly known for the study of the ear, nose, and voice box. Pharyng/o means pharynx, so otonasopharyngology would mean study of the ear, nose, and pharynx. Otorhinolaryngologist is a specialist in the study of the ear, nose, and voice box.
