Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: Rhytid/o means wrinkles and -ectomy means surgical removal; hence, rhytidectomy means surgical removal of wrinkles. Rhytid/o means wrinkles and -otomy means to cut into; thus, rhytidotomy would be to surgically cut into a wrinkle. Rhytid/o means wrinkles and -plasty means surgical repair; therefore, rhytidoplasty means surgical repair of wrinkles. Rhytid/o means wrinkles and -ostomy means to surgically create an opening, so rhytidostomy would be to surgically create an opening in a wrinkle.

Answer to Question 2

cerebrospinal fluid
