Explanation:

Question 11

To solve this, we recall the meanings of medical word parts. "Pleuro - " relates to the side (and also rib - related in some contexts) and "Costo - " specifically refers to rib. Among the options, "Rib, Side" matches the meanings of both word parts. "Chest" is not accurate for both, "Rough or Windpipe" is incorrect, and "Lung" is not what these word parts mean.

We analyze each term:

• "bronchi/ect/asis": "ectasis" means dilation, so "bronchiectasis" is dilation of the bronchi.
• "pulmono/spasm": "spasm" is a sudden contraction, not dilation.
• "bronch/itis": "itis" means inflammation, so it's bronchitis (inflammation of bronchi).
• "broncho/pneumonia": is an infection affecting bronchi and lungs, not dilation. So the correct term is bronchi/ect/asis.

Answer:

D. Rib, Side (assuming the options are labeled A - D as Chest, Rough or Windpipe, Lung, Rib, Side respectively)
