Explanation:

Question 9

• Option A: An oximeter measures oxygen saturation, not for viewing the chest cavity.
• Option B: "Thoraco-" relates to the chest (thorax), and a thoracoscope is an instrument to view the chest cavity.
• Option C: An endoscope is a general term for viewing internal organs, but it's not specific to the chest cavity.
• Option D: A bronchoscope is used to view the bronchi (airways), not the chest cavity.

The term "pyohemothorax" is a medical term. "Pyo-" refers to pus, "hemo-" refers to blood, and "thorax" is the chest cavity. So the blank should be filled with "blood".

Answer:

B. thoracoscope
