Answer to Question 1

FALSE
Explanation: The suffix -ist means one who specializes. The suffix -itis means inflammation.

Answer to Question 2

Explanation: The auditory (eustachian) tube connects the middle ear and nasopharynx. Sound moves along the auditory canal to the tympanic membrane. The cochlea is the organ for hearing. The ossicles vibrate to the sound waves to transmit them to the inner ear.
