Explanation:

• For Question 125: "laryngo" refers to the larynx (voice - box) and "scopy" means viewing/examining. So, laryngoscopy is the procedure of viewing and examining the voice - box.
• For Question 126: The root word contains the fundamental meaning of the word. Prefixes modify the meaning of the root word, suffixes change the word's part - of - speech or add more meaning to the root, and vowels are just sounds in words.
• For Question 127: In medical terminology, a combining vowel is used to connect a root word to another root word or a suffix. In "arthr/o/pathy", "o" is a combining vowel used to connect the stem word "arthr" (related to joints) and the suffix "pathy" (disease).

Answer:

Question 125: the procedure of viewing and examining the voice box
Question 126: root word
Question 127: combining vowel used with both the stem word and suffix
