So yeah, I have medical vocabulary tests every week, and my teacher gives us a list of vocabulary. She spells them wrong sometimes, I guess, and this week the words I cant find are:
-Laryngopathy
-Bronchopathy
-Opthalmopathy
So, if you can correct the spelling, then that would help alot.
Thanks!

generally 'pathy' means disease or treatment of disease.
Laryn- is the larynx--- so disease of the larynx
broncho- is the bronchi (in the lungs) so kinda like bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchi)
opthalmo- is the eyes, so disease of the eyes
goodluck on ur test

They are spelled correctly but are not used often. The suffix
-pathy means "disease" so you can figure out what they are a disease of.
