    Nervous tunic of eyeball

    Explanation
    The given answer "rétina, rétinae, f" is the correct declension of the Latin word for "retina". In Latin, nouns have different forms depending on their gender, number, and case. The noun "rétina" is feminine and its genitive form is "rétinae". The "f" at the end indicates that it is a feminine noun. The nervous tunic of the eyeball is indeed called the retina, and in Latin, it is declined as "rétina, rétinae, f".

    Posttraumatic

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "posttraumaticus, posttraumatica, posttraumaticum" because these are the correct Latin forms of the adjective "posttraumatic" in the masculine, feminine, and neuter genders respectively. In Latin, adjectives must agree in gender, number, and case with the noun they modify, so the correct forms depend on the gender of the noun being described. In this case, the noun is not provided, so the correct answer includes all three possible forms.

This term is commonly used in medical terminology to describe the condition where the ear becomes inflamed, usually due to infection or other factors. The "ötítis" part refers to the inflammation itself, while "ötítidis" indicates the genitive form of the word. The "f" at the end signifies that the term is a feminine noun.

    Explanation
    The term "östium" refers to an opening or entrance, particularly into a hollow organ. It is derived from the Latin word "ostium" which has the same meaning.

    Neoplasm occuring within bone

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "osteoma." An osteoma is a benign neoplasm that occurs within the bone. It is a slow-growing tumor composed of mature bone tissue. Osteomas are typically asymptomatic and can be found in various locations, such as the skull, sinuses, or long bones. They are usually discovered incidentally during imaging studies and do not require treatment unless they cause symptoms or complications. Osteomatis is not a recognized medical term, and "n" could possibly refer to the abbreviation for "noun" in this context.
