chondroma
tendoma
atheroma

Explanation:

• For question 27: In medical terminology, words are often composed of nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Adjectives are used to describe or modify nouns (e.g., "cardiac" in "cardiac muscle"). Adverbs modify verbs (e.g., "quickly"), prepositions show relationships (e.g., "in"), and pronouns replace nouns (e.g., "he"). But in medical dictionary word - building, adjectives are commonly used.
• For question 28: "Chondro -" is a prefix related to cartilage. "Chondroma" means a cartilage - related growth (swelling or tumor). "Tendo -" relates to tendon (e.g., "tendon"), "athero -" relates to fatty substances (e.g., "atherosclerosis"), and "customa" is not a valid medical root related to cartilage.

Answer:

1. Adjectives
2. chondroma
