Question 72

Otitis media is a medical term where "otitis" refers to inflammation of the ear, and "media" refers to the middle. So it is inflammation of the middle ear.

"Palpebr/itis" breaks down to "palpebr-" (relating to eyelid) and "-itis" (inflammation), so it means eyelid inflammation. "Blepharo/ptosis" has "blepharo-" (eyelid) and "ptosis" (drooping), so it means eyelid drooping.

Answer:

the middle ear
