true

Explanation:

• For question 10: In medical terminology, the combining form "calcul/o - " specifically means "stone". For example, "calculus" is a stone - like concretion.
• For question 11: "Nephroptosis" means the prolapse or downward displacement of the kidney, not an inflammatory condition. The medical word for an inflammatory condition involving the kidney is "nephritis".
• For question 12: "Nephrolithotomy" is composed of "nephro - " (kidney), "litho - " (stone), and "tomy" (incision). So it is a surgical incision into the kidney to remove a stone.
